Indigo
Michael Kilbey Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

World at your feet
But nothing to share
You've got the world at your feet
But nothing to share
If the words that we speak
Get lost in the air
I promise you this
We will never despair
Oh And I will fly into the sun so I can say I know how it feels
To ride upon your waves of Indigo, upon your waves...

Nowhere to crawl
And nowhere to hide
There's no-one to talk to anyway
Because they're not on your side
And so you question the life
That you want to pursue
You're biding your time
'Cause you know it's for you
Oh And I will fly into the sun so I can say I know how it feels
To ride upon your waves of Indigo, upon your waves
Oh And I will often lose myself and you will say I know how that feels
And we will live alone in Indigo, we'll live alone

I will fly into the sun so I can say I know how it feels
To ride upon your waves of it.




And you will light my path with it.
And we will live alone in Indigo

Overall Meaning

The chorus of Michael Kilbey's song 'Indigo' highlights the emptiness of material success in life. Having the world at your feet but nothing to share implies the feeling of loneliness and isolation despite having everything one could want. The lyrics further suggest that words spoken are futile and do not create any impact or lasting connections with others. Despite these harsh realizations, the singer pledges to never give up and will never be broken by these feelings of despair. Instead, he will seek to understand the feeling of living with these superficial achievements, and take solace in the waves of Indigo that represents the deep and introspective understanding of oneself.


The second verse of the song delves into the feelings of confusion and helplessness that come with a sense of aimlessness in life. The metaphor of having nowhere to crawl or hide implies that there is no escape from one's own thoughts and emotions. The lack of support from others furthers this sense of isolation and the singer questions the pursuit of the life that he wants to lead. While he waits for the right moment to arrive, he does not give up, but continues to hold onto the hope that his time will come. The songs' second chorus emphasizes the importance of connection in life and highlights the beauty of living alone but not feeling lonely, symbolized by the color Indigo.
