Mika talked about this song in an interview:
“My favorite song is "Blue,” because it is the most romantic song. It challenges your preconceptions. And it plays on so many different levels. Blue is about gender, sexuality. It’s about the idea that you’re only okay if you’re so fucking upbeat and smil...
Blue Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Blue is a feminine color (Ooh)
Blue is deep and bold (Ooh)
Blue is like no other (Ooh)
As sacred as it's old (Ooh)
Blue like the ocean's water (Ooh)
But you're blue when it falls as rain (Ooh)
Blue for your sons not your daughters (Ooh)
Blue not for pleasure but pain (Ooh)
[Refrain]
All this to say
That it's okay
No matter what life throws at you
I will always love the blue in you
[Verse 2]
I don't trust rainbows (Ooh)
Made by the sun (Ooh)
For a friend of many (Ooh)
Is a friend of none (Ooh)
Coming out of nowhere (Ooh)
But quick to end (Ooh)
Like any other fair-weather friend (Ooh)
[Refrain]
All this to say
That it's okay
No matter what life throws at you
I will always love the blue in you
[Verse 3]
Green is pretty useful, too
But not as deep and dark as blue
Red like the flame that burns in you
But the hottest part of it is blue
Yellow beams its joyful power
But bite a lemon, it tastes sour
Why are humans cruel to you?
You faithful friend, you truthful blue
[Refrain]
All this to say, that it's okay
No matter what life throws at you
I will always love the blue in you
