The Mood
The Moss Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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.
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".
The Mood is a song that speaks of the sadness that comes with heartbreak. The opening line, "You ain't never been blue; no, no, no, until you've had that mood indigo" conveys the sentiment that heartbreak is a feeling that cannot be truly understood until one experiences it. The feeling of "mood indigo" is described as stealing down to the shoes, a metaphor for the weight of sadness that becomes physical. The phrase "go 'long blues" that the singer sighs is a resignation to the feeling, as if acknowledging that the feeling will stay with them for a while.
The singer shares that they always have that "mood indigo" since their lover left. The evening is particularly hard for them as they feel particularly lonely and can't hold back their tears. The singer feels like no one cares for them, and they feel like they're as blue as they can ever be. The final lines, "When I get that mood indigo, I could lay me down and die" expresses the intensity of the singer's emotions, as the weight of heartbreak can be so heavy that they feel that they can't go on any longer.

You ain't never been blue; no, no, no,
You've never experienced despair quite like this.
You ain't never been blue,
You've never felt this kind of sadness before.
Till you've had that mood indigo.
Until you feel the deep sadness that comes with the blues.
That feelin' goes stealin' down to my shoes
The feeling of sadness is so strong it affects every part of my being.
While I just sit here and sigh, "Go 'long blues".
I can't help but feel sad and wish the blues would just go away.
I always get that mood indigo,
I'm no stranger to this deep sadness.
Since my baby said goodbye.
Ever since my love left me, I've been feeling this way.
And in the evenin' when the lights are low,
Even in the evening, when it's supposed to be peaceful, the sadness is strongest.
I'm so lonely I could cry.
The loneliness I feel is intense, and I feel like crying.
'Cause there's nobody who cares about me,
I don't have anyone to turn to, and no one seems to care.
I'm just a poor fool that's bluer than blue can be.
I'm foolish for feeling this way, but I can't help how blue I am.
When I get that mood indigo,
When I feel this deep sadness and despair,
I could lay me down and die.
I feel like it's too much to bear, and death feels like a relief.
