Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I said goodbye when I shouldn't have said it
I even cried but I never meant it
And I don't know why but I can't forget it, forget it
Gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self esteem
Gimme good and pure, what you waiting for?
Gimme everything, all your heart can bring
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
Gimme, gimme
Gimme one more night
One last goodbye
Let's do it one last time
Let's do it one last time
One more time
No, I don't love you
No, I don't care
I just want to be held when I'm scared
And all I want is one night with you
Just 'cause I'm selfish
I know it's true
Gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self esteem
Gimme good and pure, what you waiting for?
Gimme everything, all your heart can bring
Something good and true
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
Gimme, gimme
Gimme one more night
One last goodbye
Let's do it one last time
Let's do it one last time
One more time
I'm sick of looking after you
I need a man to hold on to
I'm bored of everything we do
But I just keep coming back to you
I'm sick of looking after you
I need a man to hold on to
I'm bored of everything we do
But I just keep coming back to you
For one more night
One last goodbye
Let's do it one last time
Let's do it one last time
One more time
Gimme love, gimme dreams
Gimme a good self esteem
Gimme good and pure, what you waiting for?
Gimme everything, all your heart can bring
Something good and true
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
I don't wanna feel blue anymore (Blue)
Gimme, gimme, gimme anything
But blue, blue, blue, royal blue
I just wanna know who I'm looking for (Blue)
Gimme, gimme, gimme anything but blue, blue, blue
MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS’ song “Blue” is essentially about regret, wanting to feel loved, and feeling stuck in a cycle of returning to an ex-partner despite dissatisfaction in the relationship. The lyrics depict the feeling of looking back on the end of a relationship and regretting ending it, only realizing after the fact that the decision to break up was not the right one. Lines such as "We've broken up and now I regret it, I said goodbye when I shouldn't have said it" and “And I don't know why but I can't forget it, forget it” underline this feeling of remorse.
In addition to regret, the song also conveys a sense of longing for love and validation. The lines “Gimme love, gimme dreams, gimme a good self-esteem, Gimme good and pure, what you waiting for? Gimme everything, all your heart can bring, Something good and true” convey the singer's yearning for love and affirmation. This is reinforced earlier in the song when she sings “No, I don't love you, No, I don't care, I just want to be held when I'm scared.” It is clear that she wants to be loved, but perhaps not necessarily by the person she’s with.
Finally, the song discusses feeling stuck in a cycle with a partner, despite boredom and dissatisfaction: “I'm sick of looking after you, I need a man to hold on to, I'm bored of everything we do, but I just keep coming back to you.” These lines depict the singer’s feeling of being trapped in a pattern with her partner, unable to break free.
Overall, “Blue” is a song about the complicated emotions that can arise in relationships, including regret, longing, and feeling stuck.

@RealJoshh
Primadonna girl, yeah
All I ever wanted was the world
I can't help that I need it all
The primadonna life, the rise and fall
You say that I'm kinda difficult
But it's always someone else's fault
Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
You can count on me to misbehave
Primadonna girl
Would you do anything for me?
Buy a big diamond ring for me?
Would you get down on your knees for me?
Pop that pretty question, right now baby
Beauty queen on a silver screen
Living life like I'm in a dream
I know I've got a big ego
I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though
And I'm sad to the core, core, core
(Yeah) Every day is a chore, chore, chore
(Wow) When you give, I want more, more, more
I wanna be adored
'Cause I'm a Primadonna girl, yeah
All I ever wanted was the world
I can't help that I need it all
The primadonna life, the rise and fall
You say that I'm kinda difficult
But it's always someone else's fault
Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
You can count on me to misbehave
Primadonna girl
Fill the void up with celluloid
Take a picture, I'm with the boys
Get what I want 'cause I ask for it
Not because I'm really that deserving of it
Living life like I'm in a play
In the limelight, I want to stay
I know I've got a big ego
I really don't know why it's such a big deal, though
Going up, going down, down, down
(Yeah) Anything for the crown, crown, crown
(Wow) When the lights dimming down, down, down
I spin around
'Cause I'm a Primadonna girl, yeah
All I ever wanted was the world
I can't help that I need it all
The primadonna life, the rise and fall
You say that I'm kinda difficult
But it's always someone else's fault
Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
You can count on me to misbehave
Primadonna girl, yeah
All I ever wanted was the world
I can't help that I need it all
The primadonna life, the rise and fall
You say that I'm kinda difficult
But it's always someone else's fault
Got you wrapped around my finger, babe
You can count on me to misbehave
Primadonna girl
