The song Shades of Blue by Kacy Hill talks about the struggle of being in a relationship where one person is not giving the other what they need. The singer is left feeling undervalued and neglected, as if they are just a backup plan when their partner cannot find what they are looking for elsewhere. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been fooled by their partner's promises of change and hope that they will eventually pull them "out of the blue". However, it becomes clear that these promises were empty and their partner has continued to leave them feeling blue and powerless. The line "I can't keep surrendering my time" shows the singer's frustration with giving so much of themselves to a relationship that is not reciprocating. They are tired of constantly feeling blue and defeated, and want to move on from this toxic situation. Overall, Shades of Blue is a heartfelt song about the pain of being in a one-sided relationship and the difficulty of breaking free from it.
