Blank and White
Blank and White Revelations: Unveiling a Teenage Rebellion
Lyrics
As we need a 'Why'
Expressing a need for understanding the reason ('Why')
And I'll the 'Who' for an
Offering to be the identifier ('Who') in a situation involving an impending catastrophe ('Apocalypse')
Apocalypse 'how'
Describing a method ('how') for the apocalypse
If the world had one neck, my hands would be the 'where'
If the world had a single vulnerable point ('neck'), the speaker's hands would be there
And I would choke all of you down
Expressing a desire to exert control or harm on others ('choke all of you down')
I would choke all of you down
-I would choke all of you down
-Give me a picket sign
Requesting a protest sign
And make it blank and white
Asking for a sign that is devoid of content, possibly symbolizing emptiness or neutrality ('blank and white')
Like all those stupid teenage girls
Connecting the sign to the behavior of certain teenage girls, suggesting a specific type of sign for a future event
We are gonna to need them were we're going tonight
-All you fuckers vote beep beep beep
Mocking political engagement ('vote beep beep beep') and the mindlessness of certain activities
In drunk karaoke cars
-If it's too dumb to see, or say, you still sing it
-I'll just cue the applause
-Lets make sure the music is loud enough we won't even hear it end
Emphasizing the need for loud music to drown out unpleasant realities
Lets make sure the music is loud enough we won't even hear it end
-Give me a picket sign
Repetition of the request for a blank and white picket sign, emphasizing its significance
And make it blank and white
-Like all those stupid teenage girls
-We are gonna to need them were we're going tonight
-I want to celebrate
Expressing a desire to celebrate and profit from others' negativity and demise
I want to sell your hate
-Today's the day you're gonna fucking die
-I want to celebrate
-I want to sell your hate
-Your demons want to give you a proper goodbye
-All you fuckers vote beep beep beep
Reiteration of the criticism of mindless engagement and the speaker's control over applause
In drunk karaoke cars
-If it's too dumb to see, or say, you still sing it
-I'll just cue the applause
-Give me a picket sign
Repetition of the request for a sign, linking it again to teenage girls and an upcoming event
And make it blank and white
-Like all those stupid teenage girls
-We are gonna to need them were we're going tonight
-I want to celebrate
Continuation of the celebration and profit theme, referencing demons and a farewell
I want to sell your hate
-Today's the day you're gonna fucking die
-I want to celebrate
-I want to sell your hate
-Your demons want to give you a proper goodbye
-I want to celebrate
Further repetition of the desire to celebrate and profit from negativity and farewell
I want to sell your hate
-Today's the day you're gonna fucking die
-I want to celebrate
-I want to sell your hate
-Your demons want to give you a proper goodbye
-Give me a picket sign
Final repetition of the request for a sign, tying it to the destination for the night
And make it blank and white
-Like all those stupid teenage girls
-We are gonna to need them were we're going tonight
-Yeah [Repeat: x16]
Repeating the word 'Yeah' multiple times (16), possibly indicating enthusiasm or agreement
