Scanners Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Still you smile
While your jewels and your rings sparkle slow
You want to fly
But crashing down you go
Oh baby blue
It's a razor blade
It's a cross for your back
And he lied
When he said he'd come back
You wanted to fly
It seems like a flood, a river of blood inside
Want to try but it all tastes too sweet
And every guy is just rewind, repeat
Oh, oh, oh, here we are again
Oh, oh, oh, here we are again
All of your gold, all you your smiles
All of your love, all of your whiles
All of your joy, all of your pain
Now it's all gone you've started again
All of your time in bubblegum days
Why do things change?
Why don't they stay the same?
All of your hope, all of your heart
All of your heat, all of your dark
Secrets you keep, all to be part
Of the love that you keep
I would just try to drag you from deep
Wake you from sleep
Bring you back home
There I would keep you safe
The song "Baby Blue" by Scanners is a beautifully written piece about someone who has lost everything that they hold dear. The lyrics describe someone who is in a state of emotional and physical despair, but who still manages to put on a brave face. The opening line of the song, "This is not the sky that you know / Still you smile," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is describing how the person in question is pretending that everything is okay, despite the fact that they are hurting inside. The next line, "While your jewels and your rings sparkle slow," adds to that description, emphasizing how the person in question is putting on a show for the world, while deep down inside they are falling apart.
The chorus of the song, "Oh baby blue / Never think of home / It's a razor blade / It's a cross for your back," is a powerful statement about what the person in question is going through. They have lost everything that they hold dear, and they can't help but feel that their life is a burden. The line "And he lied / When he said he'd come back," adds to that feeling, with the singer describing a broken promise and a loss of hope. The song also touches on the idea of self-medicating and trying to escape the pain, with the lines "Want to try but it all tastes too sweet / And every guy is just rewind, repeat."
Overall, "Baby Blue" is a beautifully written and emotionally powerful song that speaks to the pain and despair that so many people feel when they have lost everything that they hold dear.
