The Deepest Blues Are Black Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Shame on you, seducin' everyone
You faded jewel, you diamond in the rough
You don't have to tell me, I know where you've been
Shinin' once again

[Verse 2]
Will you do the thing you've always done?
Tell me true, I think you know the one
One that makes me blurry, colors start to run

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Every time I wonder
I go under!

[Chorus]
The deeper the blues, the more I see black
Sweeter the bruise, the feelin' starts comin' back
All the deepest blues are black

[Verse 3]
How my mind is spinnin', and my head is goin' numb
Right from the beginnin', our endin' had begun
I can be your trouble, shiver into you

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Shakin' like the thunder!
Sinkin' under!
[Chorus]
The deeper the blues, the more I see black
Sweeter the bruise, the feelin' starts comin' back
All the deepest blues are, deepest blues are black

[Bridge]
When it comes closin' in
Reject, 'cause I gotta move
And the simple things get in the openings
Connect, become something new
To remove

[Chorus]
The deeper the blues, the more I see black
Sweeter the bruise, the feelin' starts comin' back
All the deepest blues are, deepest blues are black!
The deeper the blues, the more I see black
Sweeter the bruise, the feelin' starts comin' back
All the deepest blues are, deepest blues are black!

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

Genius Annotation

“The Deepest Blues Are Black” is a song of bitter rejection. A little obvious fact on color, if you make a shade darker, it will eventually turn to a neutral black. The color black represents death and sorrow, and often sickness too.
