Whoever, ah, 'translated' that first version up there is very brave, but a dictionary and machine translation can only go so far if you don't know particles and can't conjugate. I have some notes on the double entendres as follows, but be warned that these may be SPOILERS for some of the story lines.

The title is written like "Deep Blue" (Azure) but pronounced like "Truth" or "Real Situation" (the larger picture outside of each continuum, the larger continua that only the Observers can recognize).

The forest, woods, etc. (representing something you can get lost in, like the following LABYRINTH). Written "black and blue" but sung as "rivalry"; it's referring to both the rivalries between Ragna (Black) and Jin (Blue), and the internal struggle with the Black Beast (black) with Ragna's Azure (blue) (as noted by Hakumen). That Ragna's Azure is blue in color is ironic because his operative colors appear to be red and black.

"Reeling in" and "fumbling" are very close to each other in Japanese, hence the hidden meaning. Look up "the red string of fate". Naturally, "Fate" and "destiny" and so on are common themes in BlazBlue.

Written "unmei" and sung "sadame"; they have very close meanings, but one is closer to "inescapable destiny" and the other is closer to "fortune" or "providence". The juxtaposition between the two is ironic.

"The Straying Blue RAGNAROK" and "Birthless Blue LABYRINTH" reference the Azure and its Grimoires.

No more translation requests, video game songs are just... silly.
