In my opinion, this song is not so much about a hypothetical dialogue between a girl and her depressed lover, but more about an inner dialogue with Depression, which she calls "Mr. Blue". \n\nDepression has a twisted way of disconnecting us with the outside world. It makes us confortably unconfortable, by forcing most of people to disengadge on whatever else they would love doing, and just focus on the nothingness their lives are turning into. It will make people sometimes ignore that they are the ones who are forcing themselves into a descending spiral, gazing "into the floor", when they used to "fly so high" not so long ago. \n\nHopefulness and dreams have no place at all when living with Mr. Blue, when living with depression. We get confortable with doing nothing, because the inner relation with these twisted thoughts, this decreasing self esteem and this feeling of unworthyness takes so much of us, of our spiritual and physical energy, that we actually feel better excluding ourselves from everything, like some sort of crazy relation were you know you are hurting yourself, but you keep being with that person because of how protected you feel from everything else, because everything just doesn\'t feel right, and it hurts even more. \n\nWe all have a Mr. Blue inside us. We all tend to sometimes fall in love for him. Yet we are bound to accept that what he has to offer is not what we need. We have to move on, no matter how much we would still enjoy staying in bed and struggling with depression alone. No matter how much we love Mr. Blue, we have to leave with a smile. Knowing he somehow helped us in this journey, but it can also destroy us if we let him. |

@[MakeSense:28493] I loved this interpretation. It was not personal, you made an amazing job keeping focused on the words themselves and not on the artist's personal context. Maybe it could be driven by the loss of his mother (who could be an important part of his "center" that he had to fight to keep after her absence from this world), but I really think that this is it about this song: our center is what drives us towards balance. It may include other people, or it may just be the whole experience as ourselves. THe beauty of this music is that it perfectly ressonates with a modern-age mantra. Tool really are one of the most spiritual bands I have ever heard :) |
