The Blue

The lyrics create a quiet, lonely mood, as if two people are stranded together in a vast seascape. The repeated word “blue” suggests both the color of the sea and a feeling of sadness. The emotion is not dramatic or resolved: the speakers remain isolated, yet they seem to share their fate and wait for one another.

The sea is described as “aimlessly” blue, making it seem without direction or purpose, much like the speakers’ situation. “Marooned” means left somewhere with no easy way to leave, and “drifting” suggests being carried along without control. The waves that “seep right through” may imply that the sadness or surrounding world is entering them, until it seems to color their whole experience.

The repeated “soon” could express hope that a change or reunion is near, but the lyrics do not say what will happen. “Star-crossed” often describes people whose love or connection faces difficulties, though here the nature of their relationship is not fully explained. The blue may feel beautiful as well as sorrowful: the sea and moonlight offer a calm, dreamlike setting, even as the images of isolation suggest pain.
