Into the Blue
Mission Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mumbo jumbo, listen to the whispers of madness
We have climbed mountains of dust
We have seen gold gather rust
Hocus-pocus the stampede of my heart
We have sailed on the stars through the air
We have flown on the wings of a prayer
Into the blue, only with you
Into the blue, only with you, into the blue

Gasoline rainbows swimming in the puddles in the street
Whichever way the wind blows we've got the whole damn
World crawling at our feet
Laughing canyons and everglades
Candle flames and razor blades
Dancing through the poppy fields, hand in hand we cascade
Into the blue, only with you
Into the blue, only with you, into the blue

There's a singing dwarf on the streets of New York
There's a shuffling man with plastic on his head
There's a preacher woman crying in the traffic
Crying for the living crying for the dead
The waste of it all, the waste of it all
And there's more at stake than we could ever know
'Cause when we're together we always fall




Into the blue, only with you
Into the blue, only with you, into the blue

Overall Meaning

Mission's song Into The Blue is about falling in love and exploring the wonders of life with someone special. The lyrics are poetic and filled with metaphors that reflect the beauty and chaos of the world around us. The first two lines, "Mumbo jumbo, listen to the whispers of madness" set the tone for the song, suggesting that the lyrics may be a bit nonsensical but worth listening to.


The chorus of the song, "Into the blue, only with you," is repeated throughout, creating a sense of intimacy and togetherness between the singer and the person they are addressing. The verses are filled with images of adventure and exploration, from climbing mountains of dust to sailing on stars through the air. There is a sense of freedom and wonder that comes through in the lyrics, as if anything is possible when the two people are together.


The final verse shifts the focus to the wider world and the issues that we face as a society. The singing dwarf, shuffling man with plastic on his head, and crying preacher woman are symbols of the struggles and hardships that exist in the world. The lyrics suggest that there is more at stake than we could ever know, but that being together can help us face those challenges.


Overall, the song is an uplifting celebration of love and the beauty of the world, even in the midst of its struggles.
