Blues
Rudies Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wouldnt step over into
What I could see
What I could feel
What I could be
And into me
Flows the power
The master key
And suddenly it's solved
The mystery
No I don't think
That'll go over well
And I do excel
To the point I do rebel
Problem solved
Need more clientele
I got things I buy
I got things I sell
I was born with glass bones and paper skin
Every morning I break my legs
And every afternoon I break my arms




At night I lay awake in agony until
My heart attacks put me to sleep

Overall Meaning

In Rudies's song Blues, the lyrics convey a feeling of frustration and isolation, perhaps stemming from a desire to be understood or acknowledged. The singer suggests that there is a part of them that others are unwilling or unable to see, despite its importance. They possess a strength, a "master key," that resides within and solves mysteries, but this power goes unnoticed by those around them. The singer hints that rebellion may be necessary for them to be heard or recognized, but the final lines of the song paint a picture of a physical fragility that contradicts this potential toughness. The repeated image of breaking bones and sleep-inducing heart attacks underscores the singer's vulnerability, making the earlier hints at rebellion and power all the more poignant.


Overall, the lyrics of Blues seem to explore the tension between inner strength and external vulnerability. The singer longs for recognition and understanding, but finds themselves constantly broken and alone. It is unclear whether the final image of heart attacks and physical pain is meant to be taken entirely literally or as a metaphor for emotional distress, but it certainly adds a layer of complexity to the song's themes.
