Blue Lines
Raein Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Try to pick up the bones of a fragile skeleton, the ashes will paint your hands with blue lines of sorrow.
Truth is slipping out from my mouth like black cold water. Now I know that my favourite blanket was made of lies and that all its warm was just denial.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Raein's song "Blue Lines" express a deep sense of regret and disillusionment. The first line resonates with the idea of trying to piece together the remnants of something that was once whole and solid - a metaphor likely for a relationship or other meaningful bond that has been fractured beyond repair. The mention of blue lines of sorrow suggests that the process of attempting to revive what's been lost is ultimately a futile one, as the ashes of what's been lost only serve as a reminder of the pain.

The second stanza speaks more directly to personal growth and the realization that one has been living in a state of denial. The "favourite blanket" mentioned could be seen as a symbol of comfort and protection, but in reality it has been woven of lies and false promises. The mention of "black cold water" suggests a sense of fear and trepidation in facing the truth and experiencing the pain of letting go of something long held onto.

Overall, the song is a powerful representation of the emotional pain of loss and disillusionment, and the difficult journey of coming to terms with reality and moving forward.

Line by Line Meaning

Try to pick up the bones of a fragile skeleton, the ashes will paint your hands with blue lines of sorrow.
Attempt to salvage the remains of something delicate and perishable, but in doing so, you will be marked with the lingering sadness and grief of the loss.

Truth is slipping out from my mouth like black cold water.
I am unable to contain the truth any longer, and it is leaking out of me like icy, dark water.

Now I know that my favourite blanket was made of lies and that all its warm was just denial.
I have come to the realization that something I cherished and relied upon was built upon falsehoods, and any comfort it provided was merely a way to avoid facing the truth.
