Questions In A World Of Blue

My InterpretationOutwardly, this song is about the disappearance of someone's soul mate out of the blue, seemingly without any answers. The singer asks why, confused, claiming that things were going beautifully before the other's departure. Beneath that facade of a broken relationship song, however, by the context of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me as well as the way the song makes me feel, I see it as a melancholy questioning of one's own happiness which no longer exists inside of them. Every question leads into a deeper sadness as each goes unanswered because your happiness, your life force, is gone; leaving you to ponder where things went wrong, wondering why things in your life can't go right, why the higher power (if existing) continues to be cruel and subject you to further pain no matter where you turn, and why you can't keep your happiness. Questions in a world of blue.

'Why did you go? Was it me, was it you? Questions in a world of blue.'
