Into the Blue
Undine Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The cool river that joins day and night
The tallest mountain shows the way
With anticipation I walk
Wondering what lies ahead
Blurry faces floating by
Phases fading, newborns cry
Memories of bygone days
Wrapped together joined as one
Kisses, laughter, enmity
Whisperings of songs unsung
Oceans churn inside of me
Following the bridge across eternity
As light as a feather
May my heart weigh
Whatever left behind
Twinkle softly in the sky
Into the blue I go
Taking nothing with me
Not even you
Into the blue I go
Taking nothing with me
Not even you
Into the blue I go
But love lives forever
Undine's song "Into the Blue" paints a beautiful picture of a person embarking on a journey with a mix of excitement and uncertainty. The first stanza captures the moment just before starting a journey, where the world is still and calm before the adventure begins. This person is aware of the passing of time, where the river joins day and night, and the mountains show the way. The second stanza is about the person reflecting on their past, as they set out on a new journey. Memories of bygone days float by, as they recall the kisses, laughter, enmity and the songs they never sang. They also feel a sense of nostalgia and melancholy, as they leave behind some of the important things, people, and experiences in their life.
The bridge to eternity represents crossing over from one phase of life to the next, and the ocean churns within the person. But they are determined, and they hope that even though they are leaving things behind, their heart is light enough to carry through the journey. They aren't taking anything with them as they move forward, even the one they love, but they hold tight to the idea that love lives forever. The phrase "Into the Blue" could be interpreted in many ways. It could represent the beginning of something new, perhaps a new job or relationship, or even a new life. It may also express the idea of seeking something deeper or spiritual, perhaps a journey into oneself or the unknown.

Whatever left behind
Anything that is left in the past
Twinkle softly in the sky
Letting go of the past in peace and embracing the stars as a symbol of hope
Into the blue I go
Moving forward, continuing on the journey of life
Taking nothing with me
Leaving behind all physical and emotional attachments
Not even you
Even though the memories of past loved ones remain, moving forward means leaving them behind
But love lives forever
While everything else fades away, love remains eternal and unchanging
