Tiziana Ghiglioni Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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;
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!
The lyrics of Tiziana Ghiglioni's song, Azure, express the singer's sense of melancholy and solitude as they dream and drift in an "Azure mood." The singer is alone, haunted by their own dreams and tormented by their circumstances, yet they must find contentment in their drifting and dreaming. The use of the color blue, or "Azure," suggests a feeling of sadness or solitude, as if the world around the singer is empty and cold. The use of the word "illusion" emphasizes the idea that the singer's feelings of companionship and contentment are fleeting, mere figments of their own imagination.
The second stanza of the song repeats the same sentiments, but there is a slight shift in emphasis. The singer's "seclusion" is no longer a source of sadness or despair, but instead becomes a place where they can find escape from the world around them. The use of the word "interlude" suggests that the singer's azure mood is temporary, a brief respite from the trials and tribulations of their everyday life. Overall, the lyrics of Azure evoke a feeling of wistfulness and longing, as the singer tries to find solace in their own dreams and fantasies.

Driftin' Dreamin'
Lost in thought and fanciful imaginings
In an Azure mood,
Feeling contemplative and melancholic, as if surrounded by a clear blue sky
Stardust gleamin'
Tiny, glittering specks of light that seem to wink at me
Thru my solitude:
In the midst of loneliness and isolation
Here in my seclusion,
In a state of being apart from society or the world
You're a blue illusion
A figment of my imagination that brings comfort and calmness through shades of blue
While I'm in this Azure interlude.
In the midst of this quiet, blue period of reflection and respite
I'm not wanted I'm so all alone;
Feeling ignored and abandoned, left to face the world alone
Always haunted
Persistently plagued by memories or thoughts
By the dreams I own;
Tortured by my own wishes, desires and aspirations
But, though Im tormented
Though I feel distressed and anxious
I must be contented
I have no choice but to find peace and satisfaction in this moment of reflection and escape
