| Joni Mitchell – Blue Lyrics

One summer, I hit a peak in my depression. I didn't talk to anybody that summer. I literally woke up and went to a park everyday where I would sleep under trees and listen to music. There was a nice pond I'd walk around where ducks and birds dwelled in such a harmony, a harmony I wasn't experiencing. Blue reminds me of my days in that park. The yearning underneath my skin, ink on a pin, an empty space to fill in. There is a lot of speculation on what Blue actually is. A person, a feeling, a color. I can't pinpoint what it is, yet I know exactly what it is in my soul. That summer, I was embraced by a wondrous Blue. When I listen to this song, I feel it once again. The blue of harmony, of waters and skies. Whatever Blue may be, it is beauty. |

Depression Cherry seems to explore the aftermath of a disintegrating relationship - where one soul is trying to connect back with the world. This soul invested so much in the relationship that has been severed. But was he lost to begin with? Was his only way of feeling at home in the world through this other soul? Hence, : "Were you ever lost? Was she ever found?" This character is floating in space. You can see it in his eyes - the Abyss he is in. And the only thing left for him to do is to let gravity take its course to pull him back into belonging the world - "Fall back into place." |

As most Tori followers, I face a darkness in my life that Tori expresses. I do very well in school, almost with no difficulty, but before each week, I am faced with crippling anxiety, just wondering if I will be able to get through my busy week at all. When I think logically, I know that I will pull through and do well like I do every week without difficulty. So I try to tell myself not to listen to my anxiety. But it's there. It's as if Sunday is the worst day of the week. The anxiety that accumulates in that day outweighs the actual events I am dreading on the weekdays. So even though, every Sunday, I know it is just a "spring haze," I spend my time waiting , waiting , ... "waiting for Sunday to drown." |
