Blue and Yellow Lyrics

and it's all in how you mix the two
and it starts just where the light exists
it's a feeling that you cannot miss
and it burns a hole through everyone that feels it

well you're never gonna find it
if you're looking for it
won't come...

    What I believe it means is tat the relationship is basically over and he has tried everything but he has done it enough. And he knows it hurts you but he knows tat it cannot be fixed so all he wants to do is be around you even though you aren't together. And in the end when your heart heals its the best feeling but you can't have tat feeling if your looking for it.

    Alright, let me get this through your heads. This song IS about BERT and QUINN's friendship. NOT ABOUT KATE! Bert and Kate didn't go out until after this record was even made. Bert was going out with Kelly Osbourne. So how can he write a song about a girl that didn't die by that yet? It maskes perfect sense that it's about Bert and Quinn, not Bert and Kate. Get facts right, if you don't know, look it up.

    Bert wrote the song about Quinn, and how Quinn helped him through his drug addictions and how they became such good friends. plus, blue and yellow go together so well, they make green!

    I think you are mostly all retarted...
    the song and other songs too are about Kate...
    On the CD dedication page it says all th times he lied about writing songs about her he reall y was....duh..its about her...
    I mean she died while she was pregnant with his kid why wouldnt he have wrote it about her...
    the other person who was nameless..who said the same thing..is totally right..

    This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

    This song is about Bert and Quinn's friendship, Bert and Quinn got into a fight and Bert wrote this song which made them closer ( rather waste some time with you(Quinn) )

    The song ISN'T about Kate. Those of you who know your "Used" history know that Bert was not dating Kate at that time (though they were friends)P but was in fact dating the ugly, the chubby, Kelly Osbourne.

    He dated her for a long while (they were named "ugliest couple"), and the song is about Bert and Quinn's friendship and how, as the band grew popular, they began to fall apart. This was Bert's appology for that and him telling that no matter what he always would rather have been around Quinn then pursuing the rock star life. More of a never ending friendship promise that will always be immortalized.

    It's obviously about love and not friendship..
    "Shoulda done something; but I've done it enough
    By the way; your hands were shaking
    Rather waste some time with you."


    He wants to spend time with who he loves..
    "You're never gonna find it if you're looking for it."
    You can't look for love; you never know when you're gonna find it.

    I think that this song sould be about a number of things. I agree with the interpretation that it's about Quinn and Bert's friendship.

    The last interpretation said that it was about his ex-girlfriend Kate. I disagree with that even though its a good idea because this song was on their self-titled album, which was released when she was still alive. He wrote that about her in the thank-yous in the newer album, "In Love And Death"

    This song is about love, but love of his girlfriend Kate who died carrying his child on a drug overdose. "In Love and Death" CD, Bert says, "no matter how much I ever told myself that I wasn't writing songs about you ALL THE TIME I really was snd will miss you forever, Kate," so when Bert says "it's all when how you mix the two" he's talking about drugs and how it feels and how it burns a whole through people. "You never would have thought in the end how amazing if feels just to live again" he used to be and addict but cleaned up and he is telling her how amazing it is to live again. and the feeling is so great as well as her feeling on drugs.when he says "should of done something but I've done it enough, by the way your hands were shaking rather wastes some time with you" he is saying she should helped more but he has enough and she didn't listen, her hands are shaking because she is on drugs and all we wants to do is waste time with her but she is gone. "Should of said something but I've said it enough, by the way my words were faded rather waste some time with you" he said it enough for her to quit but his words were faded because she didn't listen.

    It's about love. "It's a feeling that you cannot miss, and it burns a hole through everyone that feels it" Love can be so hurtful sometimes, and yet it can be the greatest thing in the world.

    "Should've done something but I've done it enough by the way your hands were shaking rather waste some time with you." This part still confuses me. maybe he had to go somewhere or do something that she doesn't like but he's tired of doing it and so he wants to only be with her.

    It's fucking about love. Bert says it himself live at one of The Used shows.

    This song in about drugs! Obviously! Blue and yellow are the colors he sees when he is on acid or some tyoe or drug, and then the experience that comes with it. He talks about introducing the drug to maybe a friend or a girlfriend and how it made her hands shake. then he talks about how he knows it is wrong to do the drugs and how he should have said or done something to stop it from going on (should have said something but I've said it enough) but he'd rather waste his time with her than waste it by himself on drugs.

    He talks about trying to quit and live his life (and you never would have thought in the end, how amazing it feels just to live again) And he talks about how the experience of drugs burns a hole through you and your life, but so does the experience of living, and you can't compare the two or try to find it because the feeling won't come your way when you're looking for it.

    I have a friend that I always talk with about song meanings. He has told me that this song is about jealousy. Easy logic to explain: Blue + Yellow = Green (which represents envy or jealousy) However, after scanning through the lyrics there are so many thoughts on what this song could mean.

    One of my first thoughts was that this song is about never knowing what will happen with this girl/boyfriend, and never worrying about what will happen. Ah.. yes so many possibilities.
