Blue
Rebecca Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We opened up the door
With high expectations, hm
I think that we both know
There's gonna be a storm
An avalanche waiting
Tried to pretend for the night
But you could see in my eyes
That I was changing
Feels like I fell through the sky
Swimming through my ocean mind
Wish I could understand why it
Feels like I'm breaking
Everything's blue
What do I do
If the only way to save us
If the only way to save us
Means walking through
What do I do
If the only way to save us
If the only way to save us
Means I'm losing you
Means I'm losing you
Two years down the drain
A whole life we had made
It was ours for the taking
The last forty days
They have been so painful
I guess we won't make it
Tried to pretend for the night
Wish it was easy to lie
But you could see in my eyes
That I was changing
Feels like I fell through the sky
Swimming through my ocean mind
Wish I could understand why
Feels like I'm breaking
Everything's blue
What do I do
If the only way to save us
If the only way to save us
Means walking through
What do I do
If the only way to save us
If the only way to save us
Means I'm losing you
Means I'm losing you
Means I'm-means I'm losing you
Means I'm losing you
Means I'm-means I'm losing
The lyrics of Rebecca Black’s song Blue seem to be about the end of a relationship that the two parties had high expectations for. The opening lines suggest that they’ve been in similar situations before and despite knowing that there’ll be a storm, they’re still opening themselves up to the possibility of heartbreak. The singer admits to feeling like they’ve fallen through the sky with no understanding of why they’re breaking, and that everything around them is blue.
The line “if the only way to save us means walking through what do I do if the only way to save us means I'm losing you” seems to suggest that the singer is at a crossroads - they’re not sure if they should give up on the relationship or put in the work to try to make it work. The song seems to be an internal dialogue where the singer is grappling with difficult decisions and trying to find a way forward.
The song is raw and emotional, and Rebecca Black’s voice carries the weight of the lyrics perfectly. The production is minimalistic, with a simple piano melody that allows the vocals to take center stage. The stripped-down approach works to the song’s advantage, making it more poignant and introspective.
