| Regina Spektor – Blue Lips Lyrics | 14 years ago |
|
My take on the song is that the protagonist is God himself. His only role is to be himself ("God, this is all there is?") He created the universe as a child, and then he rested as it is told in the creation story, but when he got back up again, he found that he could not move- suggesting lack of divine intervention in human life. People hurrying fast and never smiling suggests the modern life we see today. I feel that when she talks about 'blue lips' it suggests a lack of oxygen, as if something is in space as many believe God to be, as part of the universe. 'Blue veins' suggests royalty, or highness, as with the term 'blue blood'. This song explains the distress the protagonist feels towards what he has created and what he wanted it to be like, and how the world and its inhabitants have disregarded him in his old age and destroyed what he created. I love this song :) |
