Dark Blue

Jack's Mannequin

I have (I have) you breathing down my neck (breathing down my neck)

I don't (don't know) what you could possibly expect under this condition so

I'll wait (I'll wait) for the ambulance to come (ambulance to come)

Pick us up off the floor

What did you possibly expect under this condition so

Slow down.. this night's a perfect shade of

Dark blue (dark blue)

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning down

Dark blue (dark blue)

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning 'til there's nothing but dark blue..

Just dark blue

This flood (this flood) is slowly rising up swallowing the ground

Beneath my feet, Tell me how anybody thinks under this condition so

I'll swim (I'll swim) as the water rises up, the sun is sinking down

And now all I can see are the planets in a row

Suggesting it's best that I slow down

This night's a perfect shade of

Dark blue (dark blue)

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning (burning) down

Dark blue (dark blue)

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning dark blue

We were boxing

We were boxing the stars

We were boxing (we were boxing)

You were swinging for Mars

And then the water reached the West Coast

And took the power lines (the power lines)

And it was me and you (this could last forever)

And the whole town under water

There was nothing we could do

It was dark blue

Dark blue (dark blue)

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning (burning) down

Dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you

I said the room could be burning now there's nothing but dark blue

If you've ever been alone in the dark blue

If you've ever been alone you'll know (you'll know)

About this Song

Dark Blue by Jack's Mannequin explores themes of loneliness, isolation, and the search for connection. The song metaphorically uses the color 'dark blue' to convey a sense of deep melancholy and emotional turmoil. The narrator reflects on feeling submerged in a difficult and overwhelming emotional state, longing for someone to understand and connect with them. Key poignant moments include the repeated line 'Have you ever been alone in a crowded room?' which captures the paradox of feeling isolated even when surrounded by others. This lyric emphasizes the depth of the narrator's isolation and the complexity of their internal experience.
