Moods
Shlomi Aber feat. Lemon Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You ain't never been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".

I always get that mood indigo,
Since my baby said goodbye.

And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
I'm so lonely I could cry.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
When I get that mood indigo,
I could lay me down and die.

You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You ain't never been blue,
Till you've had that mood indigo.

That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".

Line by Line Meaning

You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You have never truly experienced sadness

You ain't never been blue,
You have never felt the deep sadness that I have

Till you've had that mood indigo.
Until you have experienced the feeling of complete despair

That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The sadness overwhelms every part of my being

While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
While I sit here helplessly wishing my sadness would leave me alone

I always get that mood indigo,
I am always consumed by this extreme sadness

Since my baby said goodbye.
Ever since my loved one left me

And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
In the darkest moments when no one is around

I'm so lonely I could cry.
I feel so unbearably alone that it physically hurts

'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
Because I feel like no one in the world cares for me

I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
I am a helpless and hopeless person consumed by the depths of sadness
