- Blue Lips Lyrics / with translationsHe stumbled into faith and thought, God this is all there is
The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe
And all the Gods and all the worlds
Began colliding on a backdrop of blue
Blue lips, blue veins
He took a step but then felt tired, he said I'll rest a little while
But when he tried to walk again he wasn't a child
And all the people hurried fast, real fast
And no one ever smiled
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
He stumbled into faith and thought, God this is all there is
The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe
And no one saw and no one heard, they just followed lead
The pictures in his mind awoke and began to breed
They started out, beneath the knowledge tree
And they chopped it down to make white picket fences
And marching along the railroad tracks
They smile real wide for the camera lenses
They made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe
And all the Gods and all the worlds
Began colliding on a backdrop of blue
Blue lips, blue veins
He took a step but then felt tired, he said I'll rest a little while
But when he tried to walk again he wasn't a child
And all the people hurried fast, real fast
And no one ever smiled
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
He stumbled into faith and thought, God this is all there is
The pictures in his mind arose and began to breathe
And no one saw and no one heard, they just followed lead
They started out, beneath the knowledge tree
And they chopped it down to make white picket fences
And marching along the railroad tracks
They smile real wide for the camera lenses
They made it past the enemy lines
Just to become enslaved in the assembly lines
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away
Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color
Blue, the most human color
Blue lips, blue veins
Blue, the color of our planet from far, far away

When we try to interpret the meaning, Regina Spektor's 'Blue Lips' ponders disillusionment and the loss of innocence in an ever-evolving world, taking 'blue lips and veins' as symbols for the iciness and disconnect of today’s society. The lyrics speak mainly of despair, angst, social commentary, reflection and solitude. However, the song simultaneously highlights faith and doubt, alienation and isolation, loss of innocence, destruction of nature, dehumanization and conformity as well as the fragile human condition. The lyrics depict existential questioning, societal critique, and use of imagery that may be complicated for the younger audience. The consistent reference to 'blue lips, blue veins' might be taken as indicating death or decay which could be frightening to children. Further more, the use of imagery and metaphor, for instance, 'gods colliding' and 'knowledge tree being chopped down,' introduce concepts more appropriate for the adults. Thus, the overall tone and content imply a PG-13 rating to ensure that parents know the material before letting kids of a younger age to have access to it.
