The song "Bye Bye Baby Blue" by The Undertones tells the story of a woman who stands out from the societal norms and expectations of her time. The lyrics describe her as a modern girl with sophistication, someone who does not want to be ordinary. As the years go by, she finds herself caught in a challenging situation, possibly a troubled relationship. Despite the difficulties she faces, she does not want to hurt anybody. The chorus, "Hello lady driver, Bye bye baby blue, Put love under pressure, See what it can do," suggests that love is being tested and put to the test in this relationship. The song also touches on the idea that individuals can dream of something different, something beyond their current circumstances. The line, "And if I dream I have to dream of something, That's doesn't mean I have to dream of you," implies that the narrator desires something other than what the relationship has to offer. The reference to stains on the bed symbolizes the emotional scars or reminders left behind by the person who caused the pain. Despite the pain and turmoil, the song's message is not one of despair but rather a call to explore what love can endure under pressure. Overall, "Bye Bye Baby Blue" portrays the complex emotions and struggles faced by this unique and independent woman in a challenging relationship.
