Indigo Night Lyrics
Imagine, the girls around town assemble
The traveler’s son they come askin’
Where he came from
‘Cause they’ve watched him
Washing his face near the pond
A curious boy and they wonder
Where he came from
He says: “I, I have seen the world’s most beautiful places,
Still I feel, as If I’m a walking machine,
Watching it all through a screen
There is nothing in between to me
This might as well not be real”
Imagine, the girls take him up on a hill
It’s an Indigo night, there’s a chill
The boy is confused but he’s still
As they gather around him
So many of them, they all sing
About the pleasures of life
And he cries: "Why can’t I sing along with some feeling, or some meaning?
It feels like I’ve always been blind.
I don’t know why you girls are so kind,
For there are so many in line
Whose lives aren’t as lost as mine”
Now something happened there,
The smell of the grass, or maybe the air
There was no more despair
Just something about that night
Maybe the girls, they lit a light,
And made everything right
‘Cause he’s never been
More alive
The traveler’s son they come askin’
Where he came from
‘Cause they’ve watched him
Washing his face near the pond
A curious boy and they wonder
Where he came from
Still I feel, as If I’m a walking machine,
Watching it all through a screen
There is nothing in between to me
This might as well not be real”
It’s an Indigo night, there’s a chill
The boy is confused but he’s still
As they gather around him
So many of them, they all sing
About the pleasures of life
It feels like I’ve always been blind.
I don’t know why you girls are so kind,
For there are so many in line
Whose lives aren’t as lost as mine”
The smell of the grass, or maybe the air
There was no more despair
Just something about that night
Maybe the girls, they lit a light,
And made everything right
‘Cause he’s never been
More alive

He is sad because he can't feel like other people towards the joys of life. He doesn't enjoy what other people enjoy and because of that it feels like he has always been blind, not being able to enjoy.
But then something happens. He doesnt know what but he stopped feeling hopeless. He felt alive.
Walking machine. I sense some existentialism in this song. Maybe even nihilism.
