Cerulean Blue
Replacer Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

A flash of colour and she's gone, no one can hope to pursue
A flank of red and white and yellow and cerulean blue
And making rainbows awesome since October 2010
Another day, a rush of wind, and she'll be at it again
Those airborne virtuosics are the stuff of legends and more
The name is Rainbow Dash and I suspect you've heard it before
Now if you come with me you'll find her where she takes her repose
You won't forget her quickly once you see her as she well knows

Rainbow Dash, fly
Rainbow Dash, fly
Fly, Rainbow Dash, fly
Rainbow Dash Fly

If ever you're in need of help she will show up with a smile
And indescribable velocity, impeccable style
Agility in spades and pegasine charisma to match
And when you're falling you can count on her to be there to catch
Don't be alarmed if she does not appear as soon as you shout
You know she probably just stopped to give some autographs out
To call her narcissistic is an understatement and yet
She's just that good, it's not surprising that it goes to her head

Rainbow Dash, fly
Rainbow Dash, fly
Fly, Rainbow Dash, fly
Rainbow Dash Fly

Rainbow Dash is best pony
When the world seems everfree
Coloured winds blow through my mind
Everything is left behind

Now Rainbow Dash, I think you could do worse than listening to me
Though you're spectacular it's probable your friends would agree
Your self-aggrandising demeanour is ungracious and cruel
As if you're insecure and compensating, don't be a fool
You know you'll never be a Wonderbolt until you admit
You need to lift your game and act as if you really want it
Still busy napping when you could be out perfecting your art
So much potential, come on Rainbow Dash, you're breaking my heart

Rainbow Dash, fly
Rainbow Dash, fly
Fly, Rainbow Dash, fly
Rainbow Dash Fly





Rainbow Dash, Fly...

Love this though that last verse needs an update:

Now Rainbow Dash listened and most her attitudes ceased
She's even more spectacular as now her friends will agree
Her demeanor has changed from cruel to one that's more kind
No longer compensating as much she tries to think with her mind
She made the Wonderbolts but now she has to admit
it's just a name and what really matters most is her spirit
She still likes napping but hey-her resting's an art
Fulfilled potential now she's earning even more hearts

To this day, Cerulean Blue hits me right in the feels. The nostalgia is like bittersweet ambrosia, revisiting all my favorite pone songs that got me into the fandom in the first place, especially after witnessing the passing of BronyCon and being a part of the music scene that was such an important part of it all. Thanks to you, and all the other musicians and artists that contributed to our crazy fandom, we've really had a lot to enjoy over the years. You guys are part what made this thing mean so much to us all. I'm sure I don't just speak for myself when I say I will always have a special place in my heart for the songs that you all worked so hard to make for us. <3

I remember listening to this song when I was like 15 and it completely blew my mind. I was just a teenage musician and I didn't understand how a fandom could produce such high level music just for fun and passion for a show. I went on, majored in songwriting and audio engineering, started my own music career, grew up, learned, and now I came back as a full grown adult.

And this song is just as good as I remembered it. A flash of myself walking home from school while listening to this under a clear cerulean sky flashed, and I realized how much this fandom and its music meant to me as a teenager and how glad I am it was there. You're awesome, replacer. 10/10 would listen to again, forever.

I still remember the first time I heard this song in 2011 and it made me so happy, it still does. I continue to come back again and again to Replacer, these songs forever will hold a special place in my heart!

What a treat, 8 years, haven't had a thing to do with the community for 5 years or something, but the lyrics are still stuck, it's held up well compared to a lot of the earlier songs from the community.
Thank you replacer.

Came back years later, man brings back memories of the good old days. Makes with I could go back in time and enjoy years all over again.
