Electric Blue Lyrics
Summer's gone and so are you
See the sky electrocute
A thousand boys that look like you
Cover my eyes electric blue
Now I can't get my head around it
I thought I found it
But I found out I don't know shit
Now I can't get my head around it
I thought I found it
But I found out
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
A thousand girls that look like me
Staring out at the open sea
Repeat the words until they're true
Cover my eyes electric blue
Now I can't get my head around it
I thought I found it
But I found out I don't know shit
Now I can't get my head around it
I thought I found it
But I found out
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na
Now you've got me so confused
'Cause I don't know how to sing your blues
Jesus Christ, what could I do?
I don't know how to sing your blues
Now I can't get my head around it
I thought I found it, but I found out
See the sky electrocute
A thousand boys that look like you
Cover my eyes electric blue
I thought I found it
But I found out I don't know shit
Now I can't get my head around it
I thought I found it
But I found out
Na-na-na-na-na-na-na

Staring out at the open sea
Repeat the words until they're true
Cover my eyes electric blue
I thought I found it
But I found out I don't know shit
Now I can't get my head around it
I thought I found it

This song is about Dolores O’Riordan. She wrote a song called “Electric Blue” for the Cranberries 3rd album.
“A thousand boys who look like you” is a reference to her Tom-boy looks at the time. Repeat the words untill they are true was a classic trademark of Dolores’s style as she could make a whole chores out of repeating just 1 word.
“Now you've got me so confused 'Cause I don't know how to sing your blues Jesus Christ, what could I do? I don't know how to sing your blues Now I can't get my head around it I thought I found it, but I found out
Could be about how he cant figure out how she sings like she sings. His reference to Jesus is probably because Dolores’s song “Electric Blue” is a prayer to God, he’s asking God how the hell she sings like that.
Na na na na na na na na na is featured prominently in Dolores’s tune.
“Cover my Eyes Electric Blue Every single night I dream about you”
A crush he had on her, like I did, and countless other male singers.
Thats pretty clear.

Soooo I Thought it was the dude that sang this. It could be about Bowie, but I still think it’s about Dolores. It just fits her to perfectly.
