True Blue Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
A quick shoutout—just her announcing herself.

[Chorus]
She’s saying the other person was always loyal and real, and she was too. There’s a sense of mutual honesty and emotional depth between them. Even though the relationship wasn’t perfect, they both stayed true to who they were in it. The phrase “true blue” repeats like a mantra, showing how important that kind of sincerity and connection was for her.

[Verse 1]
She starts by describing how she tried to hold back her emotions and desires, pushing things down to avoid fully expressing herself. There’s a feeling of struggling with identity and how society views her. She once thought her inner self was “blue” or pure, but realized it wasn’t—it was always more complicated. She talks about feeling like her father and not being proud of that, even trying to change her appearance to hide the resemblance. She looked like someone else on the outside but was still carrying emotional baggage inside. Then she reflects on her past relationship. It was confusing because what she thought was love was really shaped by the abuse she knew growing up. That made the love she received feel comforting, even if it wasn’t perfect. She held on longer than she should have, hoping to prove to herself it was real. In the end, she realizes she didn’t truly understand love, and that made things messy. But now, looking back, she forgives both the person and herself. She believes that person was doing the best they could, based on what they knew at the time, and that gives her peace. It’s not about wanting them back—it’s about understanding and letting go.

[Chorus]
She repeats the message that both of them were real with each other. Even through pain, confusion, or change, that truth stays constant. This chorus feels deeper now, like it carries both appreciation and a hint of sadness. She’s saying she stayed loyal to the connection and is acknowledging that they both gave what they could. That phrase “true blue” becomes a symbol of what they shared—honesty, vulnerability, and a kind of emotional loyalty that still matters to her.

[Verse 2]
She imagines seeing this person again someday and hopes they’re doing better—happier, stronger, lighter. She would cheer them on from a distance, showing love without needing anything back. She compares their growth to a snake shedding its skin, letting go of past mistakes and pain. They’ve both won and lost things, and they’ve built their own chosen family. There’s a line about being battered but still standing, still open to love and connection. She’s willing to make peace with the past and do what it takes emotionally to let go. If they ever cross paths again, she wouldn’t cling—she’d see them as a stranger, with no expectations. It’s like saying goodbye while still caring deeply. Their bond was real, but now it’s faded into something different—just a beautiful memory of a shared experience that passed, like an eclipse.

[Chorus]
Once again, she’s repeating that core feeling of loyalty and emotional truth. It’s like a grounding point for the whole song. No matter how things ended or how much they’ve changed, what they had was real. The repetition feels comforting, like she’s reminding herself that even though they’ve moved on, what they shared mattered.

[Post-Chorus]
She’s reinforcing that message again—she was real, she was loyal, she showed up honestly. Saying it over and over feels like she’s trying to reassure herself or even release the last bit of emotion tied to it.

[Verse 2]
She remembers a specific moment in the car after Coachella when something important was said. In her mind, their story felt dramatic and intense, like a secret romance. But that intensity came with emotional pain—PTSD, anxiety, and confusion. Something triggered her emotions deeply, possibly connected to another woman’s story she saw, making her reflect even more. Despite all the messiness, what matters most is that she lost herself trying to be close to this person. She broke her own limits and worldview just to feel loved. Now she knows what she won’t do again. She also touches on how girls are often raised in a small, boxed-in way, made to feel like their world is limited. But she’s realized she’s not small, not weak—she’s grown out of that narrow view and found her own strength.
