The relationship has now progressed to some actual issues. It still isn’t over yet but now it seems increasingly likely to end soon.

This verse contains many of the same themes of the first verse though some have taken a new form:

• JAY Z references — represent myself
• blue — represents Blue, the love interest
• bluejay — represents the relationship itself
• alcohol (fire water) — represents detrimental conflict in the relationship
• death — represents end of the relationship
• money – represents our time left together

This verse contains 42 lines as opposed to the first verse’s 43 which is also part of the large theme that encompasses the entire song structure. This is explained later…

This verse is written from the point of view from a good point in the relationship. It hasn’t gone bad yet but I feel that the end is inevitable and near.

This verse introduces the main themes of the song:

• JAY Z references – represent myself
• blue – represents Blue, the love interest
• bluejay – represents the relationship itself
• color — desired outcome in the relationship
• light – represents positive and strong relationship
• darkness – represents negative and dying relationship
• fire – represents detrimental conflict in the relationship
• water – also represents detrimental conflict in the relationship
• sky/weather – serves as a mirror for our relationship’s current status
• death – represents end of the relationship

This verse contains 43 lines which is part of a larger theme that encompasses the entire song structure. This is explained later…

But now this higher learning got the Remy in me
Liquor’s invaded my kidneys

Chucking deuces, chugging D'USSE

On repeat, the CD of BIG’s “Me and My Bitch”
Watching Bonnie and Clyde, pretending to be that shit

When you’re blue, and got nothin to do
Welcome to the party life

Back to the Noah metaphor. I spend my days and nights at 40/40 Club living it up to try to satisfy my yearning. I’m partying like it’s my last day.

Eyes behind shades, this necklace the reason
All of my dates been blind dates

Blue giant - Wikipedia — Wikipedia

In astronomy, a blue giant is a hot star with a luminosity class of III ( giant) or II ( bright giant). In the standard Hertzsprung-Russell diagram, these stars lie above and to the right of the main sequence.

This goes back to the light/darkness motif. A blue sun represents being with Blue while a blue moon represents the impossible challenge of earning her love.

Since she is so bright, I need shades, but I wear blue shades which imposes a blueish tinge over everything. I literally see nothing but blue. However, if the sun goes down and there is no light at all, there won’t even be a blue tinge.

– Anything

I’d risk everything
For one kiss, everything
Yes I’d do anything (Anything?)
Anything for you

You’re a queen, you deserve the cream, everything that gleamed
Everything that shines, everything that’s mine

– (Always Be My) Sunshine

And you deserve to be my Sunshine
