Blame
Embracing the Flames: Confronting the Dead End of Blame
Lyrics
Well I know that blame is a dead end game
Expressing the recognition that blaming others leads nowhere.
But I lay it all on you
Taking responsibility for placing blame on someone.
Now look what you made me do
Highlighting the consequences of the other person's actions.
Was I something to run from
Questioning if the speaker was something undesirable to be avoided.
Any semblance of trust just gone
Noting the loss of trust in the relationship.
When your eye fell on something new
Referring to the moment when the partner's attention shifted to someone new.
Couldn't wait just a day or two, well
Expressing impatience with the partner's quick decision.
You could have had all that you wanted
Suggesting that the partner could have had everything they desired.
Yeah I'd never try to hold you back, no
Clarifying the speaker's lack of intention to hold the partner back.
Instead you took all that brightness we accrued
Describing the partner's actions as taking away the happiness they had built together.
And you marked it indelibly, oh yeah
Metaphorically referring to the partner staining the positive memories.
You painted it black, woah oh
Symbolizing the transformation of positive experiences into negativity.
Blame, it's a dead end game
Reiterating that blame is a futile and destructive pursuit.
And I'm gonna play anyway for you
Committing to playing the blame game despite its futility.
Oh this rage set a fire in my veins
Describing intense emotions, possibly anger, resulting from the situation.
So I'm gonna burn this to the ground and start anew
Deciding to metaphorically burn down the past and start anew.
ooh ooh it's a dead end game
Reiterating the futility of blaming others.
Ooh Blame wooh, wooh oh
Repeating the word "Blame" with melodic emphasis.
Now i can see I'd set my eyes on a wild wild animal
Realizing that the partner is untamed and unpredictable.
And you well you built yourself a cage, oh
Describing the partner's self-imposed confinement.
And though I never laid a hand on any tool
Explaining that the speaker's admiration led to the partner isolating themselves.
It was my adoration, finally locked you away, woah oh
Emphasizing the impact of the speaker's emotions on the partner's confinement.
Blame, it's a dead end game
Reiterating that blame is a futile and destructive pursuit.
But I'm gonna play anyway for you, oh
Committing to playing the blame game despite its futility.
This rage set a fire in my veins
Describing intense emotions, possibly anger, resulting from the situation.
Now I'm gonna burn this to the ground and start anew
Deciding to metaphorically burn down the past and start anew.
Ooh ooh it's a dead end game
Reiterating the futility of blaming others.
Ooh Blame wooh oh oh oh oh
Repeating the word "Blame" with melodic emphasis.
In the end who's to say what was right or wrong
Raising the question of determining right or wrong in the relationship.
When our days they were counted down all along, oh oh
Reflecting on the inevitable end of the relationship.
Yeah you yelled it out from the start but I was deafened by
Acknowledging that the partner warned about the relationship's challenges.
The beat of my own heart
Being oblivious to the partner's warnings due to the speaker's emotional involvement.
It's a dead end game, ooh blame, ooh woah
Reiterating that blame is a futile and destructive pursuit.
Blame wooh blame, ooh, woah
Repeating the word "Blame" with melodic emphasis.
