So Blue
Vibrations Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Outside the red red roses are blooming
Inside my poor heart is whining
Inside there is nothing but blue
I knew I'd miss your smile
And miss your kiss
But I never knew that I'd be
The lyrics of Vibrations' song "So Blue" are about the pain and sadness of a broken relationship. The singer of the song is experiencing a deep sorrow after a breakup, to the point where even the bright sunshine and blossoming red roses outside do not bring any joy or hope to him. The metaphor of the red roses emphasizes the contrast between the external beauty of his surroundings and the internal anguish he is feeling.
The second stanza of the song reveals that it is a failed romance that has caused the singer's heartache. He knew he would miss his lover's smile and kiss, but he never expected to feel as blue as he does. This sentiment is expressed in the repetition of the phrase "Oh so blue over you" in the chorus which reinforces the emotional intensity of the song. The lyrics overall convey a sense of profound heartbreak that is both relatable and poignant.

I don't believe a Web Top copy of this exists.. Checker stopped using this scheme sometime in '58 I believe. I've had a copy of this on Checker for almost a year now and I never played it until yesterday. I got it in a big collection and accidentally filed it in the wrong spot. Man, I'm happy I spun it :D
