Blue Lyrics Artist(Band):A Perfect Circle
I just didn't want to know Best to keep things in the shallow end Cause I never quite learned how to swim I just didn't want to know Didn't want, didn't want, Didn't want, didn't want Close my eyes just to look at you Taken by the seamless vision I close my eyes, Ignore the smoke, Ignore the smoke Call an optimist, she's turning blue Such a lovely color for you Call an optimist, she's turning blue While I just sit and stare at you Because I don't want to know I didn't want to know I just didn't want to know I just didn't want Mistook their nods for an approval Just ignore the smoke and smile Call an optimist, she's turning blue Such a lovely color for you Call an optimist, she's turning blue Such a perfect color for your eyes Call an optimist, she's turning blue Such a lovely color for you Call an optimist, she's turning blue While I just sit and stare at you I don't want to know If you find some error in Blue Lyrics, would you please submit your corrections to me? Thank You. Review about Blue Calling out too much | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/11/2008 Addiction | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/25/2008 Anonymous nailed it, Maynard says on the commentary of aMotion this song is about a person refusing to acknowledge that someone they love is an addict. Even when they overdose 'turning blue' the person in denial is like, "That's a good look for you, it matches your eyes." ~ | Reviewer: Anonymous | 7/23/2008 As with all music, music is art, and art was created by the human race to form a way to escape reality and connect with others. Art was also invented to make the mind wonder and invent "Self Answers" to questions posed. There is no absolute correct answer for what this song means, but there is an illusion that you create yourself in your own mind, and that is the answer to the question posed. The question "What does it mean to You" Wow | Reviewer: C | 4/2/2008 I honestly have no idea how to explain my feelings about this song. It is so hauntingly beautiful, and at the same time very powerful. I've listened to it so many times, yet I've never really looked up the lyrics until now (there were only one or two words I wasn't sure of, like "call it aftermath"). But yeah, wow. One of my favorites by APC for sure. My Interpretation | Reviewer: Dan | 3/20/2008 I think the water is symbolic of emotion, and not swimming is not exploring the emotions. As a result, there were feelings for someone which didn't get explored, so they drowned (and turned blue). But at least it matches their eyes really well. Reply to "nice song! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/5/2008" | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/10/2008 This song (and other good music) can be interpreted in whatever way the listener wants. Good music is a form of art. There is no ONE correct way of interpreting it. With that in mind, I kind of agree with you about the love thing lol... but I like the other interpretations as well nice song! | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/5/2008 you idiots, the song has nothing to do with his frien, mother or any other bullcrap that you ppl think in your twisted imagination :) "blue" is the color of being in love.. he is looking at his girlfriend and she's in love(he says by accident "aftermath") and that he is not so intrested to know love ("Because I don't want to know") beacause he like to be a spectator ("Cause I never quite learned how to swim") and just like to watch her girlfriedn being in love ("While I just sit and stare at you ").. remember third eye :P Interpretation | Reviewer: Anonymous | 3/2/2008 To me, this song is about someone who has a friend addicted to drugs. And the singer loves this friend so much and is so afraid of what the truth may hold that he chooses to deny it instead. With the lyrics "didnt want to know" and "keeping things in the shallow end as i never quite learned to swim" being a reference to knowing a little about his friends problem, but not wanting to get in too deep as it may affect him in ways he can't handle. It then becomes clear that the person is becoming more addicted but the singer still stays out of it. "ignoring the smoke". He chooses not to notice his friends deterioration by closing his eyes to look at her (his image of her and how happy and healthy she once was) As the song progresses I think the person may overdose and this is when the singer realises he should have said something but may have been misguided by fellow peers with the line "mistook their nods for an approval" meaning that he had the feeling his friend was doing better. Again ignoring the smoke and being supportive (smiling). It then progresses through the overdose and the colour of her eyes may just be another reference to how much he cared for her as that was the last thing he noticed before she passed away.. I also agree that the end does sound like a siren of an ambulance or something... Just my thoughts anyway Post traumatic stress | Reviewer: JC | 2/15/2008 I initially took the meaning as a mother and child dying during childbirth and that the smoke is the confusion/disbelief that he feels about what is happening. Although listening to it further makes me strongly feel a car crash and that he is stunned, unable to move and in denial as she passes away--hoping that the paramedics are indicating that she is okay, but knowing in his heart that she is not. He is fighting losing his mind. At the end of the original version, it sounds a bit like sirens and in the aMOTION remix it sounds like a flatline. Of course this could all be metaphorical. That is what is so exceptional about Maynard's lyrics and delivery. It's that sweet twist of knife leaving us wanting to share more of his highly perceptive torment. Whatever the intent, APC and Tool have an uncanny talent for exploring the dark aspect of raw human/animal nature in a very intelligent and foreboding way. Is this a...? | Reviewer: Shain | 1/16/2008 Is this a cover, by any chance? I'm just wondering... or maybe, was it covered? I think I've heard this song done by someone else. In any case, it's one of my favourites by APC. The other's would have to be Pet/Counting Bodies... (I know they're different songs. I love them both equally, though. ;D) and 3 Libras.
