Blue (English Version)

BIGBANG's 'Blue (English Version)' is a poignant reflection on loss and the emotional aftermath of a relationship that has ended. The song uses the changing of seasons as a metaphor for transformation and the passage of time. The winter, often associated with coldness and desolation, has passed, and spring, which typically symbolizes rebirth, has arrived. However, instead of feeling renewed, the narrator feels withered and torn, indicating that the end of the relationship has left them feeling drained and broken.

The recurring phrase 'I'm singing my blues' suggests a deep-seated sadness and resignation to the pain experienced. Blues music is traditionally linked to expressing sorrow and hardship, and here it serves as a vehicle for the narrator's emotional state. The lyrics also touch upon themes of distance and separation, not just physically but emotionally, as the narrator and their former lover look up into the same sky from different places, highlighting their estrangement.

The song concludes with a sense of acceptance and moving on. The narrator acknowledges the complexity of their past love and the pain it has caused. They express a desire to let go, as they are tired of the 'complicated run around.' The mention of a 'new sound' symbolizes a new beginning and the strength to overcome the sorrow that has been holding them down. Despite the heartache, there is a glimmer of hope that they will find peace, even if it's in their dreams.
