Small Blue Thing Lyrics

Cover art for Small Blue Thing lyrics by Suzanne Vega

It could be about love...But like everyone else, I have my own interpretation.

I think it's more likely about surviving abuse, particularly the numb, detached feeling a lot of abuse survivors get. And the lines about scattering down in pieces could very well be about when that numbness breaks apart and you feel the pain again.

Also, the part about "My knees against my mouth, I am perfectly round" makes me also think this because you curl up.
