Roxy Music – Out Of The Blue lyrics

Roxy Music – Out Of The Blue lyrics

(ferry/manzanera)

All you cares
Now they seem
Oh so far away
All your fears
I fear I once shared
Now I know
There's a future
For all of us
Not so long ago
I was so scared
You seemed so sad
I could see
Through your twisted smile
So unsure
Always confused
Pale blue eyes
Gazing down
From your ivory tower
Through the haze
All broken and bruised
Then: out of the blue
Love came rushing in
Out of the sky
Came the sun
Out of left field
Came a lucky day
Out of the blue
No more pain
I don't mind
If it's only
A passing craze
Throwaway lines
Often ring true
If I were you
I would stay
For a little while
I you were me
Would you walk out
In style?

Straight forward song about the longing for God, and the wonderful joy and peace which is found when that longing is realized. When it does happen, it occurs as a flash, an unexpected joy. Out of the sky came the sun (son). The lyrics reflects this dynamic change. Once we realize that we are not alone in the universe and that we are loved unconditionally everything changes. Though we may not always walk with God the moment that flash encompasses us we we will never walk in the same way.

Roxy Music lyrics are always so sophisticated, you'd probably have to analyze each line, keeping each analyzation within your all encompassing interpretation. All I'm going to do is the all encompassing one.
It seems to be looking back on the past (possibly past love) at a time when fears about the future would torment, and realizing all things settle and life goes on. There is however still some lingering desire, though the worry/heartbreak has subsided, for things to have been different.
My interpretation seems close to how I feel about someone, though, so maybe I'm just throwing my own experience in. That's what I love about lyrics like this; there's definitely something the lyricicist successfuly conveys, but it's cryptic enough for it to relate to people on many different levels.
