| Kenny Wayne Shepherd – Blue On Black Lyrics | 19 years ago |
| I think the best interpretation of this song is the straightforward and most literal one. Basically, he screwed up REALLY bad with a girl. Now no matter what he does, he can't get her back. As pointed out earlier, whatever he can try to fix the situation will simply pale in comparison to the magnitude of the wrong he did. This is a song about the utter hoplessness of this situation, which he cannot hope to fix. | |

Yeah aren't Stevie Nicks' only contributions "Tell me lies" and "You can't diguise" in the chorus? So I guess this song as about a girl that has to break up with a guy, but just doesn't want to. So she just wants her man to tell her lies to convince her to stay, which goes against her rationality. |

"Tell me I'm the only one, Tell me I'm the chosen one"...."Like old Job"....."Jesus was the only son for you" He's angry at God for not helping him out. |

This is a great song in IMHO. I could understand why a lot of Pumpkins fans wouldn't like it. It's by far their heaviest song. I listen to a lot of metal so I like it. It's overshadowed by the many other songs on an absolutely epic record. To me, the song is about a guy that is about a guy who lives a life that it's devoid of real feeling. He's dead inside: "let me die inside." Basically, he needs some kind of drive to take him out of his predicament, but he just doesn't have it. He's experiencing a rare moment of strong emotion, something his life has very little of. "I like just to be real" - He's trying feel alive "I'd die just to feel" - He wants to feel true emotion "Why do the same old things keep on happening?" - He's in a perpetual cycle of failure that he just can't break out of. "Beyond my hopes, there are no feelings"- he tells himself that he wants to get better, but he doesn't have the emotional drive to do what he needs to do. In the last verse he gives up; he resigns himself to the fact that he is going to be like this for the rest of his life. |
