There's a blue light, In my best friend's room
There's a blue light, In his eyes
There's a blue light, yeah,
I want to see it, shine
There's a ship, that sails by my window
There's a ship that sails on by,
There's a world under it
I think I see it,
Sailing away
I think it's sailing,
Miles crashing me by
Crashing me by,
Crashing me by
There's a world ,
Outside my doorstep
Flames over, everyone's heart
Don't you see them shining,
I want to hear them
Beating for me
I think I hear them
Waves crashing me by,
Crashing me by,
Crashing me by
There's a blue light, In his eyes
There's a blue light, yeah,
I want to see it, shine
There's a ship, that sails by my window
There's a ship that sails on by,
There's a world under it
I think I see it,
Sailing away
I think it's sailing,
Miles crashing me by
Crashing me by,
Crashing me by
There's a world ,
Outside my doorstep
Flames over, everyone's heart
Don't you see them shining,
I want to hear them
Beating for me
I think I hear them
Waves crashing me by,
Crashing me by,
Crashing me by

FYI Mazzy Star is the band's name. Her name is Hope Sandoval.
me and my best friend would go to the train tracks and play our guitars, drink and smoke our brands. THIS song is one we always hafta sing... nomatter what. we'd be there for hours at a time.
i think its the morbid-bluesy emotions that flow not only tru the chord progressions, but also from her delivery of the lyrics. you almost feel the same way when those DRINKS are being tossed down. its hard not to get emotional cuz its almost forced.
when an arrangement can do that to grown men then that song has power and it is truely meaningful.
Mazzy Star sings the BLUES...and this track is one of their best, next to Fade Into You.
What I take away from this song is that maybe Hope was sitting with a friend in his room, and she had felt something for him she'd never felt before, but based on the passing ships and crashing waves and all that, It's a short lived spark of a feeling, and nothing really comes of it.

blue light is an object that grants you your wishes, connects a wounded person dying alone, to life, the world and love of another person.
For some reason Louis Aragon's poem Elsa's Eyes also comes to my mind, with its blue eyes and ocean and the blue colour that is associated with Virgin Mary.
Personally this song reminds me of a girl I once knew who shot herself. She was trying to cope with her problems with drugs and alcohol, and the blue light in railway stations often brings this song and her to my mind.
