Cover art for Shades of Blue lyrics by Ashley Parker Angel

I thought this song was about a kid drowning himself, because no one noticed him.

He let the water run to deep Then he just slowly slipped on in And when he finds the nerve to breathe (gasp) All they say is no one saw it coming

Hear the sirens The cops arriving A thousand shades of blue But it's hopeless no one noticed We're all just shades of you With eyes wide open They found him floating A thousand shades of blue There's no escaping where he's going They're all just shades of you
