Blue Side of the Sky
Sofia Carson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Lost but not yet found
Made up of pieces that I picked up off the ground
Some nights I swear, no matter how hard that I try
Feels like I'll never touch the blue side of the sky
Blue side of the sky
Full speed on the Five, both of my eyes closed
Tell me a thousand times, I'm betting on false hope
But I swear I'm gonna find it
You can try to hide it
You can try to hide it
You can try to hide it
But I swear I'm gonna find it
The blue side of the sky
Blue side of the sky
Blue side of the
I've been fighting for something invisible
That makes me want it more
And just on principle, I'm taking down the doors
That once were shut before
Was lost, but now I'm sure
You can try to hide it
You can try to hide it
You can try to hide it
But I swear I'm gonna find it
Blue side of the sky
Blue side of the sky
Blue side of the sky
Blue side of the sky
I've lost count again, too many living thoughts
They keep whispering, but no one will ever know
Tell me a thousand times, I'm betting on false hope
But I swear I'm gonna find it
You can try to hide it
You can try to hide it
You can try to hide it
But I swear I'm gonna find it
The blue side of the sky
Blue side of the sky
Blue side of the sky
Blue side of the sky
Blue side of the sky
Blue side of the sky
Blue side of the
The lyrics of Sofia Carson's song "Blue Side of the Sky" express the feeling of being lost and searching for something that seems unattainable. The singer acknowledges that she is made up of pieces that she has found on the ground, implying that she may have been broken or hurt in the past. She mentions trying hard, but still feeling like she cannot touch the "blue side of the sky" - a metaphor for achieving her goals or finding happiness. Despite this, she remains determined to keep searching and bet on her hope, even if it seems like false hope to others.
The second verse talks about how the singer is fighting for something that is invisible, but motivates her to keep working towards it. She is opening doors that were previously shut, and has become certain of what she wants. However, she also admits to having too many thoughts that sometimes become overwhelming. The chorus repeats the determination to find the "blue side of the sky", no matter how many times someone tries to hide it.
Overall, the song seems to be about persevering through adversity and not giving up on one's dreams or goals, even if they seem unattainable. The metaphor of the "blue side of the sky" represents the end goal that the singer is striving for, and she is unwilling to let go of her hope.
Line by Line Meaning
Lost but not yet found
Feeling lost, but still searching for something that hasn't been discovered yet
Made up of pieces that I picked up off the ground
Built from past experiences and struggles, which were learned from or overcame
Some nights I swear, no matter how hard that I try
Even with effort and determination, it can still feel impossible to achieve one's desires
Feels like I'll never touch the blue side of the sky
Sensing that the goal is too far and out of reach, like reaching the sky
Full speed on the Five, both of my eyes closed
Traveling quickly with little regard to safety or direction
Tail bound, Oceanside, don't care where I'll go
Moving without specific purpose or destination
Tell me a thousand times, I'm betting on false hope
Hearing many doubts and negative thoughts, but still believing in oneself
But I swear I'm gonna find it
Determined and confident in eventually achieving the goal
I've been fighting for something invisible
Persistently striving towards a goal that cannot be seen or touched
That makes me want it more
The lack of visibility fuels the desire and determination to achieve it
And just on principle, I'm taking down the doors
Breaking through barriers and obstacles based on personal conviction
That once were shut before
Referring to past struggles and limitations that have been overcome
Was lost, but now I'm sure
After experiencing uncertainty, having clarity and confidence in the objective
I've lost count again, too many living thoughts
Too many ideas and possibilities, leading to confusion and uncertainty
They keep whispering, but no one will ever know
Hearing inner thoughts and doubts that may not be expressed to others
Blue side of the sky
Represents the elusive goal that is being sought after
You can try to hide it
Acknowledging that obstacles and challenges may arise to hinder progress
But I swear I'm gonna find it
Reaffirming determination to overcome those obstacles and ultimately achieve the goal
