Bathed in Blue

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
but now we're stranded, we're nowhere to be found
this wasn't easy or free
you said the problem was me
it's time to get off this strange merry-go-round
da da da ooh ooh da da da
you're bathed in blue
i know i shouldn't see you
i saw you bathed in blue the first time i saw you
i shoulda known better than to go there
but i keep my enemies closer than my memories
i feel safer in their arms than in my head
da da da ooh ooh da da da
you're bathed in blue
da da da ooh ooh
i know i shouldn't see you
so we stop from where we are
and we take stock of every scar
and you say you are well broken in
but i'll do all that i can to get you back on the mend
oh, before you do break my head again
da da da ooh ooh da da da
you're bathed in blue
da da da ooh ooh
i know i shouldn't see you
you said let's take a break
you said let's take a break
but if i break, will that make you love me again?
i'm bathed in black and blue
i know i shouldn't see you
i'm bathed in black and blue
i know i shouldn't see you
da da da ooh ooh da da da
you're bathed in blue
da da da ooh ooh
bathed, you're bathed in blue
The lyrics in Lily Kershaw's song "Bathed in Blue" reflect the aftermath of a breakup or a relationship that is on the brink of falling apart. The song starts with the singer being stranded and lost, her partner having suggested taking a break, but instead leaving her in no man's land. The idea of a break was supposed to help them both avoid a breakdown, but the opposite has happened – they have ended up in a confusing limbo. The singer acknowledges that this wasn't an easy situation, and the partner had blamed it on her, which has left her feeling desolate and abandoned.
In the chorus, the lyrics "you're bathed in blue, I know I shouldn't see you" refers to the partner being engulfed in a melancholic, emotion-filled state. The term "bathed in blue" could mean that he's sad, and that sadness has become a part of his identity. The singer knows that she shouldn't see him because the relationship is causing her more pain than good.
The second verse starts with the singer's memory of the first time she saw her partner, bathed in blue. She probably saw his sadness even then, but she couldn't resist the attraction. She then reveals that she keeps her enemies closer than her memories, indicating that the relationship has turned into something that is reminiscent of an unpleasant experience. The singer feels safer in the arms of her enemies than in the thoughts of her troubled relationship.
Finally, the song concludes with the singer acknowledging that she's been hurt and left black and blue. Although she knows that she shouldn't see her partner again, she can't help but feel drawn towards him. She reflects on the idea of a break, asking if breaking herself would make her partner love her again.
