Who are you to wave your finger?
You must have been out your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
Rob the grave to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down
Soapbox house of cards and glass
So don't go tossin' your stones around
You must have been high
You must have been high
You must have been
Foot in mouth and head up ass
So what you talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
Till you pull it out, boy
You must have been so high
You must have been so high
Steal, borrow, refer
Save your shady inference
Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high
You must have been high, high
Who are you to wave your finger?
So full of it
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Fucking hypocrite
Liar, lawyer, mirror show me
What's the difference?
Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been
So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me?
You must have been out your mind
Weeping shades of indigo
Trapped without a reason
Weeping shades of indigo
Liar, lawyer, mirror for you
What's the difference?
Kangaroo be stoned
He's guilty as the government
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high, high, high
Eyeballs deep in bloody waters
You're balls deep in muddy waters
Ganja? Please
You must have been out your mind
You must have been out your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
Rob the grave to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down
Soapbox house of cards and glass
So don't go tossin' your stones around
You must have been high
You must have been high
You must have been
Foot in mouth and head up ass
So what you talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
Till you pull it out, boy
You must have been so high
You must have been so high
Steal, borrow, refer
Save your shady inference
Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high
You must have been high, high
Who are you to wave your finger?
So full of it
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Fucking hypocrite
Liar, lawyer, mirror show me
What's the difference?
Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been
So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me?
You must have been out your mind
Weeping shades of indigo
Trapped without a reason
Weeping shades of indigo
Liar, lawyer, mirror for you
What's the difference?
Kangaroo be stoned
He's guilty as the government
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye
When you pissed all over my black kettle
You must have been high, high, high, high
Eyeballs deep in bloody waters
You're balls deep in muddy waters
Ganja? Please
You must have been out your mind

“Blue” is a song about a love that is persisting in the discomfort of the person experiencing the emotion. Ed Sheeran reflects on love lost, and although he wishes his former partner find happiness, he cannot but admit his feelings are still very much there. He expresses the realization that he might never find another on this stringed instrumental by Aaron Dessner.

Ed Sheeran
There aren’t many things that’ll hurt more than giving love a chance against your better judgement only to have your heart crushed yet again. Ed Sheeran tells such a story on “Page.” On this track, he is devastated to have lost his lover and even more saddened by the feeling that he may never move on from this.
I didn't read all 18 pages of comments, but here's my interpretation:
The song, starting with the title, is a big double entendre for both drugs (marijuana) and hypocrisy in government.
"Who are you to wave your finger? You must have been outta your head" -> Refers to the "pot calling the kettle black", but also to being stoned, "outta your head".
"Eye hole deep in muddy waters You practically raised the dead" -> Not too sure, but seems to be an allusion to war, oil, disaster, etc.
"Rob the grave to snow the cradle Then burn the evidence down" -> Do something illegal/morally questionable, but then hide all the evidence (common in corrupt governments). Also, "burn the evidence", though I've never heard it used as such, could also be taken to mean smoking marijuana.
"Soapbox house of cards and glass so Don't go tossin' your stones around" -> Refers both to a "house of cards", a fragile structure that can come tumbling down in a moments notice, and the addige "those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones". Again, also a reference to "stoned", or being stoned, which turns up a lot.
"You must have been high You must have been high You must have been..." -> Obvious reference to marijuana intoxication, but also to "being on one's high horse".
"Foot in mouth and head up ass-hole Whatcha talkin' 'bout?" -> "Foot in mouth" means to shut up.
"Difficult to dance 'round this one 'til you pull it out, boy" -> Prosecution of marijuana is a difficult dance because so many damn people use it, also corruption is hard to dance around.
"Steal, borrow, refer, save your shady inference" -> Talking about corruption again, refers to "refer", i.e. marijuana again, and "shady inference" means "shady implications", akin to lying about a political opponent or simply scare-tactics.
"Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent" -> Kangaroo referring of course to a "kangaroo court", "hung the juror with the innocent" i.e. blamed him for doing what's right, not what the party line is, because he defended the "innocent" (i.e. drug users, who hurt no one but themselves).
"Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo Got lemon juice up in your eye When you pissed all over my black kettle" -> I heard someone say "weeping indigo" could mean blood, i.e. deaths from the hypocricy and war, "lemon juice in the eye" refers to kicking dirt or lies at someone, while "black kettle" again references "the pot calling the kettle black".
"Who are you to wave your finger? So full of it Eye balls deep in muddy waters Fuckin' hypocrite" -> A variation on the first stanza, only more angry and outright. Last line sums it up.
"Liar, lawyer; mirror show me, what's the difference?" -> Lawyers are usually thought to be lying fraudsters.
"Kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent" -> Almost the same as above, only I don't know what implications changing "innocent" to "guilty" has to the meaning.
"Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo Got lemon juice up in your eye, eye When you pissed all over my black kettle You must've been..." -> Repeat of above.
"So who are you to wave your finger? Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me? You must have been out your mind" -> Starts off the same as the first stanza again, only "fatty fingers" refers to politicians, the "grubby little piggies" with their hands in everything!
"Liar, lawyer; mirror for ya', what's the difference?" -> Same line of as above.
"Kangaroo be stoned. He's guilty as the government" -> A command to fight the kangaroo courts who are as guilty of hypocrisy and corruption as the government proper.
"Eyeballs deep in muddy waters Your balls deep in muddy waters Ganja POLICE* You must have been out your mind" -> First things first, I'm 95% sure it should be "Ganja police" not "Ganja please". Ganja police referring to those who wish to keep marijuana down and illegal, i.e. War on Drugs. Also "your balls deep in muddy waters" could be a reference to being "in over your head", only since it's talking about the "old white men's club" (government), balls is an appropriate substitution.
Well, that's my take.
“Hanging the jury”- usually results in a judge ruling. My guess is that the change from “innocent” to “guilty” encompasses the idea that no matter the guilt, the corruption of “the jury” happens when those in power want a specific result.<br />
