The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Blue (Armed with Love)" by the artist "Wham!"

Contents

In the song "Blue (Armed with Love)", George Michael, through the persona of the lyrical hero, tells a story about his pain and despair after breaking up with his lover. Despite his outward success, he feels lost and alone, his world has dimmed, and he is slowly "dying" without love.

The hero begs his ex-lover to come back and save him from this emptiness. He acknowledges his weakness and inability to cope with grief on his own. The repeated phrase "Can't you see that I'm dying?" emphasizes his despair and the hope that his suffering will not go unnoticed.

The metaphor of being "armed with love" is key to understanding the song. The hero believes that only love can heal his broken heart. He begs his ex-partner to "take this heart" - to take responsibility for his emotional state, to become his salvation.

However, despite his pleas, the hero watches as his love "dies," which may symbolize his final acceptance of the breakup and the beginning of a difficult journey toward healing.

Every day it seems my smile's a little harder

And every day, I seem to laugh a little less

Living this way, it seems my sky's a little darker

You went away and left me lonely in success

(Can't you see I'm falling apart) [Repeat]

Can't you see what's happenin' to me

Take this hand and show my fingers where my heart is

Understand, you may just save me from despair

Watch this man, you'll see he can't stop what he has started

Take this hand, you'll see right now there's no-one there

(Can't you see I'm falling apart)

You laugh at me as I fall

(Can't you see I'm falling apart)

Just tell me, tell me, give me one good reason

Armed with love, I could save my heart

But on my own I just can't make it

I'm too weak to fight, so take it

Armed with love, I could save my heart

But instead I watch you die

Armed with love, I could save my heart

But on my own I just can't make it

I'm too weak to fight, so take it

Armed with love, I could save my heart

Tell me why am I so blue.
