Navy Blue
Story So Far Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I used to think on all of this and how you don't.
Damn it's hard to find sustenance
when all I had was love for this and now you don't.
Now I just abuse substances to drown out your accomplishments, however few.
All of this frustrates me bad
'cause I can't stay mad at you or change anything that I had.
I hope this makes you sad
I hope this makes you sad.
If it's something serious then hit me up
but until then the door is shut, forget my room.
And if I had a match for every lie
and every attempt to deny, I'd strike a few.
I am the walls, the silent halls
My jacket at your sisters wedding, navy blue.
All of this frustrates me bad 'cause
I can't stay mad at you or change anything that I had.
She told me don't think like that, it's really not that bad.
I hope this makes you sad
I hope this makes you sad.
The lyrics of "Navy Blue" by The Story So Far reflect the pain of a relationship that ended and the struggle to move on. The opening line "I bet it hurts to read permanence" implies that the idea of something being permanent is difficult to comprehend and accept. The next line "I used to think on all of this and how you don't" suggests that while the singer is still consumed with thoughts of the relationship and what could have been, the other person has moved on.
The chorus contains the repetition of the line "All of this frustrates me bad" which showcases the helplessness and desperation the singer feels. They can't stay mad at the other person nor can they change anything that happened in the past. The next line "She told me don't think like that, it's really not that bad" suggests that the singer's friends and family are trying to offer comfort and perspective, but they can't fully understand the depth of the pain.
The second verse portrays the singer closing themselves off from the possibility of reconciling with the other person. "If it's something serious then hit me up, but until then the door is shut, forget my room" shows that they are not willing to entertain false hopes or false promises anymore. The line "I am the walls, the silent halls, my jacket at your sister's wedding, navy blue" is a metaphor for being invisible and unimportant, akin to the walls and halls of a building. The mention of a jacket that is navy blue at the sister's wedding implies that the singer is still somewhat present in the other person's life but as an afterthought.
