Discover the story of the song > Blues Run The Game – Laura Marling

The protagonist is singing about how wherever she goes, she always feels sad and alone because of the "blues" or depression that follow her around. She turns to drinking and sinful behavior to cope, but it only makes her feel worse. She acknowledges that love is also a risky gamble, and she often finds herself crying when she's not sleeping or drinking. No matter where she goes, the blues always seem to catch up to her.
