"The Blue Blanket" is not really about a specific occurrence, but rather a familiar situation.

It’s about that feeling of exhaustion and uncertainty after an argument with a lover. When everything has been said, but nothing has been taken back. When both have made accusations but neither have made any apologies.

When all that’s left is to make up, and both understand that it has to happen and it will happen but neither are ready to make it happen just yet.
