[Jeff Finlin - Sugar Blue]

Hobo songs and railroad gin
Alcohol evaporates through skin
One gift
Sugar blue

I feel his kiss in your angry eyes
To find hello when you say goodbye
One gift
Sugar blue

Holding darkness up to the light
The other side shows through
The raven's song it breaks the night
And I rise from me through broken hues
Sugar blue

Going nowhere's somewhere's song
Finding right in what went wrong
One gift, sugar blue
One gift, sugar blue

Holding darkness up to the light
The other side shows through
The raven's song it breaks the night




And I rise from me through broken hues
Sugar blue

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Sugar Blue" by Jeff Finlin explore the complexities of life and relationships. The song references "hobo songs and railroad gin," painting a picture of a troubled, transient existence. The line "alcohol evaporates through skin" suggests a sense of desperation and emptiness. However, amidst this bleak landscape, there is still a glimmer of hope – a "gift" represented by the phrase "Sugar blue."


The concept of "sugar blue" is repeated throughout the song, and seems to represent a brighter, more positive aspect of life. The lyrics suggest that even amidst hardship and pain, there is still beauty to be found. The singer even feels "his kiss in your angry eyes" – perhaps a reference to a past or absent lover – indicating that love and connection are still possible even in difficult times.


The final lines of the song emphasize this idea, suggesting that even when things seem to be going nowhere ("going nowhere's somewhere's song"), there can still be hope and redemption. The music underscores the bittersweet nature of the lyrics, with a mournful melody that nevertheless has an uplifting quality.

Know me when I'm a slave
Not when I am king
Don't claim your royalty (big daddy)
Know me when I am small
Not when I am big
I will stumble over this (don't call me sugar)
I missed you yesterday
Even when you said
This is not your way
No more playing game
I'm breaking all the chain
We cannot stay the same (we cannot stay the same)
Fimile, don't call me sugar
Don't touch the fire
Don't give me drama
My best friend lover
When no money
She no give honey
She wan leave daddy
Big daddy
Fimile, don't call me sugar
Don't touch the fire
Don't give me drama
My best friend lover
When no money
She no give honey
She wan leave daddy
Big daddy
Hold me when I am blind
Not when I can see
I can see my destiny (I can see my destiny)
I know I don't have much
My love should be enough
I guess you wanted more (wanted more money)
Called me yesterday
I saw but walked away
This hate cannot surface (it will beat an easy path)
You left me on the ground
You turned your back around
Now I'm feeling down (feelin' underground)
Fimile, don't call me sugar
Don't touch the fire
Don't give me drama
My best friend lover
When no money
She no give honey
She wan leave daddy
Big daddy
Fimile, don't call me sugar
Don't touch the fire
Don't give me drama
My best friend lover
When no money
She no give honey
She wan leave daddy
Big daddy

@@user-ys9vk3oy5o Обрати на меня внимание, когда я раб
А не тогда, когда я король
Без претензий на королевскую власть
Обрати на меня внимание, когда я маленький
А не тогда, когда я большой
Потому что это собьет меня с пути
Я скучал по тебе вчера
Даже когда ты сказала:
Что это не твой путь
Больше никаких игр
Я разрываю всю эту цепь
Мы уже не будем прежними

Фримела, не называй меня сладким
Не прикасайся к огню
Не устраивай мне драмы
Моя любовная подруга
Когда нет денег
Она ничего не ждет
Она оставить папочку
Большого папочку

Обнимай меня, когда я ослепну
Не тогда, когда я могу видеть
Потому что я вижу свою судьбу
Я знаю, что у меня мало денег
Моей любви должно быть достаточно
Но я думаю ты хотела большего
Звонила мне вчера
Я видел, но ушел
Эта ненависть не должна всплыть на поверхность

Фримела, не называй меня сладким
Не прикасайся к огню
Не устраивай мне драмы
Моя любовная подруга
Когда нет денег
Она ничего не ждет
Она оставить папочку
Большого папочку
