Out of the Blue (Lyrics)

by Sean Allen   Jun 21, 2006


[Verse #1]
I'd be the first to say I was lacking
manners and social niceties;
strolling through life, like many a man,
doing whatever I pleased.

[Verse #2]
I'd always rely on others:
I'd wheedle, mooch, and I'd plead
for anything I knew that I wanted--
for all that I could ever need...

[Chorus]
But then out of the blue
I ran into you
and like an artist, you chiseled the stone;
and every last change
will forever remain--
now I'm sculpted to stand on my own.

[Verse #3]
You fell upon me like a seraph--
though from Heaven or Hell I don't know--
but whether from His kingdom up high
or the deepest depths below...

[Chorus]
Your appearance was out of the blue;
I ran into you
and like a painter of great artistry,
you may now be gone
but I'll always belong
in the scene that you painted for me.

[Verse #4]
And now when I start to feel weak
I remember your words still ring true,
"You can rely on peace from inside."
Though you disappeared out of the blue,
I'll always possess the moments we had,
and I'll draw my strength from them too.

    Fantastic, hunny. I like the change in the chorus, that fits perfectly into the synchronisation that I imagined the tune to be (sorry.. lol).. Very subtle. It left me wanting to hear it as you intended when you wrote it.. Well done. xx

    Judging lyrics compared to poetry is so hard, because I could never figure out the rythym you have in your head. I wouldn't know if the syllables were all in tact. So my critique is,

    "But then out of the blue"
    [I didn't see much need for the word 'then']

    "for anything I knew that I wanted--
    for all that I could ever need..."
    [Didn't see much need for the word 'that' in either line]

    But you never know, it may sound great in a song. Haha, awesome stuff.

    Out of curiousity, do you sing or play an instrument?

    Wow. is all i can say really.. every poem you write just leaves me speechless! this was so metaphorical and amazing.. i loved how you repeated the words "out of the blue" i felt they really added flavor to the poem.. i also like the idea that she sculpted you as if you were a work of art.. this is a very original idea.. loved it! 5/5
