As we hang from the vine
We swam on the thin red line
I'm asleep in the deep
Asleep in the dark black sea
I call out your name
All I hear is the pouring rain
When you came into view
I realise it's not you
You disappeared into the steam
You disappeared into the steam
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
'Cause I waited so long
The night fades away
I'm dipped in the deep dark clay
And I'm raising my voice
Sinking with all my teeth
I'm hiding the storm
The storm with the bright green glow
And I'm holding my knife
It's sure to make them leave
You disappeared into the steam
You disappeared into the steam
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
When the wait is so long
Time has caught up with me
Taking all my energy
Time has caught up with me
Taking all my energy
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
When the wait is so long
We swam on the thin red line
I'm asleep in the deep
Asleep in the dark black sea
I call out your name
All I hear is the pouring rain
When you came into view
I realise it's not you
You disappeared into the steam
You disappeared into the steam
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
'Cause I waited so long
The night fades away
I'm dipped in the deep dark clay
And I'm raising my voice
Sinking with all my teeth
I'm hiding the storm
The storm with the bright green glow
And I'm holding my knife
It's sure to make them leave
You disappeared into the steam
You disappeared into the steam
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
When the wait is so long
Time has caught up with me
Taking all my energy
Time has caught up with me
Taking all my energy
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
'Cause I waited so long
To watch it all leave
When the wait is so long

First I wanna start off with the song's title which as explained by Brann Dailor in an interview: "One of the guitar riffs sounded like a Joe Walsh riff… but blue" so it really hasn't anything to do with the song's meaning, except that person in the song is blue or depressed seemingly. For me, this song is about a period of darkness in ones life where the effects of that darkness have began to show on them. They have tried to hide it away from others by pushing them away (You disappeared into the steam) but those who really know the person already realized that they were coming apart at the seams. (I'm hiding the storm The storm with the bright green glow And I'm holding my knife It's sure to make them leave) This stanza is about how far the person is going to hide their inner strife - holding a knife to keep others away from him (make them all leave), he wants very much to be alone in his suffering.
