Bluu
rum.gold Lyrics

The lyrics of rum.gold’s song Bluu captures the pain of unrequited love, regret and self-awareness. In the first few lines, he states that even though he was dying, someone still wanted him dead. This creates a sense of betrayal, as though someone he trusted was not on his side. He then goes on to say that he was aware of his own demise but he brought it upon himself. The repetition of “Ohh I, Ohh I, Ohh” creates a sense of resignation, as though he has accepted his fate.

The chorus of the song is where the title, Bluu, comes into play. He describes the color of “your sea” as Bluu, and how someone “couldn't see themselves with me”. This alludes to a sense of rejection and pain, as though his love was not enough for the other person. He then goes on to say that he immersed himself in this person (“I drowned inside of you”), and that his body was the only thing the other person knew of him. This line creates a sense of emptiness, as though he was not truly seen or understood by the other person.

The final few lines of the song signify a moment of realization for the singer. He declares that he now understands where he went wrong, and that he now practices what he preaches. However, despite this growth, all he sees is Bluu, bringing the song full circle and highlighting the pain and emotional turmoil he has been through. Overall, the lyrics are emotional and introspective, capturing the complexities of love and loss.
