I'm pretty sure the line, "See the monster try and to do right," is actually: "See them as their trying to do right" Anyway, I think the song is about a man who wants to take a chance in life, instead of withholding himself and oppressing his urges, just wants to let loose and try everything, no matter what. |

| Electric Light Orchestra – Mr. Blue Sky Lyrics | 15 years ago |
|
I'm pretty sure this song is about the birth of a child, and how alive it makes the father feel to be a new dad. I think the message is pretty straight forward. The day is beautiful, and the sun makes everything seems bright and wonderful. "Hey you with the pretty face Welcome to the human race A celebration Mr. Blue Sky's up there waitin' And today is the day we've waited for" - Its the due date of his child, "this is the day we've waited for." And he's welcoming his child into the world "Hey you with the pretty face / Welcome to the human race." "Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why You had to hide away for so long Where did we go wrong Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why You had to hide away for so long Where did we go wrong" - I think this is where the singer is realizing how his life seemed pointless/sad until the birth of his child. As if the sun was hiding away making everything dark, but with the new life, the sun came out and drove the clouds away, depicting the title "Mr. Blue Sky." Perhaps the phrase "Mr. Blue Sky, please tell us why / You had to hide away for so long" even can be described as the singer being impatient for the birth of his son, of having to wait a grueling 9 months for him/her to be born. Maybe it even foreshadows that his child was a boy, with the title's "Mr." "Mr. Blue you did it right But soon comes Mr. Night Creepin' over Now his hand is on your shoulder Never mind I'll remember you this way" - Ok, I had some trouble with this, but I think I realized that this is the part where the singer reflects on how although his son/daughter makes his life joyful and his skies blue, there is also a harder side to being a dad, and that "Mr. Night" is also sort of a way of saying that you have to wake up at night to take care of your kid, and sometimes you don't get any rest. However, with "Neevr mind I'll remember you this way," he's going to look back after his child is grown up and remember how much he loved him no matter how much work it took to be a dad and how it was all worth it in the end. Haha, sorry this is long. I've seen numerous posts on how this song doesn't mean anything, and I just wanted to counter that. I love this song and thoroughly believe it's lyrics are not an accident. Hope someone agrees with me on this analogy! |
