The Rat Pack Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood,
Stardust gleamin'
Thru my solitude:
Here in my seclusion,
You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this Azure interlude.
I'm not wanted I'm so all alone;

Always haunted
By the dreams I own;
But, though Im tormented
I must be contented
Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood!
Driftin' Dreamin'
In an Azure mood,
Star dust gleamin'
Thru my solitude:
Here in my seclusion,

You're a blue illusion
While I'm in this Azure interlude!

Overall Meaning

The Rat Pack's song, Azure, is a gentle, melancholic ballad that tells the story of a person who is alone and daydreaming. The opening lines - "Driftin' Dreamin' in an Azure mood, stardust gleamin'thru my solitude" - paint a vivid image of a person lost in thought, feeling isolated and longingly gazing out into the vast blue skies, Her solitude is interrupted by a blue illusion, a mirage that is symbolic of the dreams and hopes that keep her going.

The somber tone of the song is amplified by the lines - "I'm not wanted, I'm so all alone, always haunted by the dreams I own." Here, the singer is plagued by feelings of loneliness and despair, but despite the torment, she finds solace in her daydreams, "But, though I'm tormented, I must be contented, driftin' dreamin' in an Azure mood."

Line by Line Meaning

Driftin' Dreamin'
Lost in thought and dreamy state of mind

In an Azure mood,
Feeling melancholic and down, like the blue of the sky

Stardust gleamin'
Feeling a glimmer of hope or inspiration, like the stars shining

Thru my solitude:
While being alone and detached from others

Here in my seclusion,
Isolated and cut off from the world

You're a blue illusion
Thinking about a person or situation that seems to offer hope but is really unattainable, like a mirage in the desert

While I'm in this Azure interlude.
In this moment of sadness and introspection

I'm not wanted I'm so all alone;
Feeling unwanted and abandoned by others

Always haunted
Tortured by persistent memories or regrets

By the dreams I own;
Obsessed with unrealistic hopes and desires

But, though Im tormented
Despite the suffering
