Pure Blue
Phoebe Green Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is reminiscent of the feeling of your burning breath
I hold myself at night
So I don't feel as alone
But you're the blue in my veins
You're my aching bones
You're like an old denim jacket
You look better when you're torn up
I love it when you're messed up
Your blue eyes are like marbles when your pupils dilate
You used to tell me I was better than the pills that you take
We were all alone
Baby it was magical
Watching you break down
Watching our flame burn out
It's so sick
How happy it made me
Knowing that you're as helpless without me as I am without you
The pale blue light hits your dripping chest
Made you look like you were glowing in the darkness
You pulled me under the water, you pulled me under
Did the moon look better shining on her?
I was a narcissist
With no self esteem
I let you tear me apart
And never felt a thing
We stayed in the water until our lips turned blue
Until our hearts had sunk down to the bottom of the pool
We were all alone
Baby it was magical
Watching you break down
Watching our flame burn out
It's so sick
How happy it makes me
Knowing that you're as helpless without me as I am without you
We were all alone
Baby it was magical
Watching you break down
Watching our flame burn out
It's so sick
How happy it makes me
Knowing that you're as helpless without me as I am without you
In "Pure Blue," Phoebe Green poetically explores the paradoxical nature of a toxic and intense relationship that one simply can't walk away from. The song captures the essence of the feelings experienced by the singer who is caught in the throes of an unhealthy addiction, likening it to the sensation of the sun's heat on the back of her neck, resembling the feeling of her partner's hot breath on her skin. Even though she is aware of the harm being wrought by the relationship, she clings to it for fear of feeling alone. The relentless nature of her pursuit of this person is evident in the refrain, 'You're the blue in my veins, you’re my aching bones.'
The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that is damaged yet tantalizing, like an old denim jacket that looks better as it's torn up. The singer's addiction and her partner's blue eyes, which speak of a desire deeper than just physical attraction, further reinforces the allure of this relationship. However, the song speaks about the thrill of the danger that such a liaison represents. The use of water imageries underscores the danger and the thrill that is to be found when two imperfect people come together in pursuit of love.
Phoebe Green's lyrics about a toxic relationship are eerily compelling, and her ability to express pain and vulnerability through her words is remarkable.

The heat of the sun on the back of my neck
The sensation reminds me of your burning breath
I hold myself at night
I embrace myself to feel less lonely
So I don't feel as alone
To ease the pain of missing you
But you're the blue in my veins
You're an integral part of me
You're my aching bones
I can't function without you
You're like an old denim jacket
You have a worn-out charm
You look better when you're torn up
You're more appealing when damaged
A work of art baby
You're unique and beautiful to me
I love it when you're messed up
Your flaws make you lovable
Your blue eyes are like marbles when your pupils dilate
Your eyes captivate me
You used to tell me I was better than the pills that you take
You loved me more than your addiction
We were all alone
No one else mattered but us
Baby it was magical
Our love was extraordinary
Watching you break down
Your vulnerability was captivating
Watching our flame burn out
Our once-passionate love faded away
It's so sick
It's twisted and wrong
How happy it made me
Knowing you're tied to me made me content
Knowing that you're as helpless without me as I am without you
We're dependent on each other
The pale blue light hits your dripping chest
Your beauty shines through
Made you look like you were glowing in the darkness
You were radiant
You pulled me under the water, you pulled me under
You dragged me into your chaos
Did the moon look better shining on her?
Did someone else catch your attention?
I was a narcissist
I was selfish
With no self esteem
My confidence was crushed
I let you tear me apart
I allowed you to hurt me
And never felt a thing
I didn't care because I loved you
We stayed in the water until our lips turned blue
We held on to each other until the end
Until our hearts had sunk down to the bottom of the pool
We were intoxicated by each other
