Lyric discussion by tittysauce 

Cover art for Surgeon lyrics by St. Vincent

It is STAYING just to get along

chorus: Best, FINEST surgeon etc.

Annie Clark said it herself she got the chorus line from Marilyn Monroe's diary--somebody aint reading the comments! (I tried to find the "lyric correction" for type of comment but it doesn't appear)

To me the "blue and red" stood for bruises, however not literally, but mentally being beat up and just tired. "A little something to get along" keeps her from giving up on her life, that perhaps she can use the depressed feelings she has to push through to a better life. Someone else wrote the blue and red line stood for "blue=sad red=anger" but all in all I think we've got the same meaning :)
