I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
Best to keep things in the shallow end
Cause I never quite learned how to swim
I just didn't want to know
Didn't want (x4)
Close my eyes just to look at you
Taken by the seamless vision
I close my eyes
Ignore the smoke (x3)
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call an optimist, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you
Because I don't want to know
I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
I just didn't want
Mistook their nods for an approval
Just ignore the smoke and smile
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a perfect color for your eyes
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you
Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
While I just sit and stare at you

Review about Blue love | Reviewer: blue eyes | 11/27/09
I think this song is talking about a man in love with his best friends woman and she too longs for him. He sees it in her eyes and knows she wants him too but he knows this could never happen so they both just dream.
Her Past | Reviewer: Backlash | 9/17/09
You are all wrong. What the song is about is a girl with a past. They man loved her and thought she was one way, but in her past she was different and had been lying to the man so he would love her. As the relationship went on she started making mistakes and showing her true self. He eventually started finding out about her past, like how she used to slut around and so forth, hence "i didnt want to know" and he has to close his eyes to look at her because she is not the same anymore even though he wants her to be the girl he first fell in love with. Jason's review is totally correct for this song (scroll up to read it). He wants to stay in the shallow end, as in not dig deep into her past, because he doesnt know if he can handle knowing the truth about his girl.
Think | Reviewer: Anonymous | 8/16/09
The cd is called the thirtheenth step an ovious refrence to a hanging ( thirteen steps to the galows) and people turn blue when they suffocate so the song is about a girl who committed a crimeang was hung the smoke is from burning the body and he has to close his eyes to rember her
no no no. | Reviewer: dave | 8/5/09
This song is about a friend or lover who tries to look past the addiction of their friend/lover.
"I didn't want to know
I just didn't want to know
Best to keep things in the shallow end
Cause I never quite learned how to swim"
This is saying that he would rather not know that they had addiction problems, and that he never learned how to deal with it properly.
"Close my eyes just to look at you
Taken by the seamless vision
I close my eyes
Ignore the smoke"
He can't face the person with the addiction without closing his eyes, he can't deal with reality. He ignores the smoke (the marijuana or w/e)
"Mistook their nods for an approval
Just ignore the smoke and smile"
This to me is one of the best lines in the song. To me it says that the family of the person with an addiction problem is nodding in disappointment, but the person with the addiction sees them as approving it.
"Call it aftermath, she's turning blue
Such a lovely color for you"
Aftermath of the addiction, she's dieing, but he still tries to look past it and make light out of the bad situation.
So basically this song is about a person who has addiction problems, and their loved ones. The loved ones are trying to forget about the addiction, and make light out of the bad situation. The person with the addiction doesn't see what they're doing wrong since no one is confronting them, they are just looking past the addiction.
A perfect song | Reviewer: Nyarlathotep | 7/13/09
I have to agree that this song details loss and weakness, but like most good songs you can read almost anything you want into the lyrics. I believe it was said that all good songs are like that and this is true. Total respect...
Liz' take | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/13/09
I think its a song about wanting to be in denial. Something bad is happening to this person which is killing this person (in metaphor or maybe literally), either way he knows about what is happening and he thinks its well deserved (such a lovely color for you..). He justifies himself by saying that he's never known how to confront or deal with problems (ill just lay here in the shallow cuz I dont know how to swim).
Jason's view | Reviewer: Anonymous | 5/2/09
I believe "Best to keep things in the shallow end cuz I never quite learned how to swim" refers to his fear of dwelling into unfamiliar waters, that is to say he refuses to accept things that make him uncomfortable.
"I close my eyes just to look at you" means he cannot face reality therefore still sees her as she was and not as what she has become.
"Just ignore the smoke and smile" He ignores his denial and delusions (his own setup of smoke and mirrors)
"Taken by the seamless vision" Consumned and convinced by the unconstructed and pure illusion.
It seems the main theme is denial and his incapability to help her. Well that's my view, sorry if it was too long guys.
this is it | Reviewer: Anonymous | 4/27/09
she is sad.. he knows it.. yet he cannot give her what she wants from him.. because what she wants is not within the person he is.. yet he still loves her.. much as he can.. truth be told they will both suffer until he finds the true cure that will work for both of them..
they hurt each other..
they need each other..
and they are doing the exact same thing..
like yin and yang
they are saying "call it aftermath, shes turning blue"
the girl in the song overdosed on drugs. Turning blue is an aftermath.
the man in the song was too high to do anything. the song is directed toward a friend of the bands.
Calling out too much | Reviewer: Anonymous | 9/11/08
The sound of the song is kind of hypnotic. Like spiralling in a circle kind of weird way. Anyways I think in the chorus I think he is saying "Calling out too much, she's turning blue". This could go with the denial of addiction and overdose by the old Cry Wolf. The addicted person is calling out for help but everyone is in denial of it, or they think it's a false alarm.
