“Born To Be Blue” is track seven on Eileen Alister’s debut album, “Honeymoon in a Motel”. The track was the last single to release before the album.
The song is about the struggle of feeling blue and messed up when you’re loving someone who seems so sane and normal.
[Verse 1]
The voices in my head have sharp teeth
Bite deep when I least expect it
They go under my skin 'til I feel paper-thin
And I calm down the dial of the cockpit
And I swear that I love you, hate to see you cry
But best believe you're not made for my chaos
You're a fine straight line, I'm full of knots
So I act like a dick, push you off my sinking ship
Make it easy for you to find the exit
'Cause I tend to greet people with goodbye
[Chorus]
I'm just damaged goods, would change it if I could
I get dark, oh, I'm too blue for someone as bright as you
I'm just damaged goods, would change it if I could
I'm like rain in Malibu, I'll ruin everything for you
[Post-Chorus]
I'm born to be blue, what if I'm born to be blue?
Born to be blue, am I born to be blue?
[Verse 2]
Well aware that I self-sabotage shit
Oh, I'm making my bed in a casket
God, you're so angel dust, I'm so covered in rust
I can't let you get hit by my bullets
Hide, you can be the target of my knives
[Chorus]
I'm just damaged goods, would change it if I could
I get dark, oh, I'm too blue for someone as bright as you
I'm just damaged goods, would change it if I could
I'm like rain in Malibu, I'll ruin everything for you
[Bridge]
Born to be blue, what if I'm born to be blue?
Born to be blue, am I born to be blue?
Born to be blue, what if I'm born to be blue?
Born to be blue, am I born to be blue?
[Chorus]
I'm just damaged goods, would change it if I could
I get dark, oh, I'm too blue for someone as bright as you
Still in the burning woods, I'd stop the fire if I could
Born to be blue, am I born to be blue?
I'm just damaged goods, would change it if I could
Born to be blue, am I born to be blue?
[Outro]
I'm born to be blue, what if I'm born to be blue?
Born to be blue, am I born to be blue?

“Born To Be Blue” is out and I feel everything but blue about it!!!
Feeling too messed up, twisted, blue and broken to be loved by someone who seems so bright, sane, and capable is something I’ve always struggled with. This song kind of wrote itself, straight from the pit of me into your eardrums....
