Other Notes	The "you" is Ms. Blue, since those lines are spoken to her by Mr. Blue; the "I" is also Ms. Blue, speaking of herself. And Ms. Blue is not named in the song, so I chose her name based on the fact that she is interacting with Mr. Blue. Ms. Blue is a scientist who seems to have been experimenting with electromagnetic radiation and accidentally given herself powers. She can traverse the line between matter and energy; as pure energy, she manifests as a fire, or she can exist in the vacuum of space. She can sense radar waves and hear frequencies only animals can. She can also send out waves of radiation, to calm others and communicate even past Earth's atmosphere. And she can manipulate light waves to render herself invisible, or maybe just become energy and be invisible that way. As energy, she can zip through the air, which means she can "almost... fly"-- in the way of a radio signal, not a bird. While dealing with all this, she is in a one-sided relationship with Mr. Blue, who sees all of her powers an extension of her feminism; evidently he is several decades behind with regard to women's rights: "I've heard of liberation, but you're in outer space." He calls her "arrogant," and says she is not "cool." She laments this, but still has a "warm desire" for him and even wants to meet his "crew" (does he have a yacht?). She wants to be with him, but on her own terms, as an equal: "Baby, let the one who love you come through/ Baby come through"... implying "for me, too." So she is stuck. She loves him, but wants him to accept her on her terms. He so doesn't like this about her that he is completely turned off. She still thinks he will come around for her, but she really needs to read the book He's Just Not That Into You. And she needs to find a person who can love her for all her self-empowerment... and powers.
