Black And Blonde
Unraveling the Middle Child's Struggle: "Black And Blonde" Meaning Explored
Lyrics
What's that sound?
Expressing curiosity about a mysterious sound
What's that sound?
Repetition of the inquiry into the unidentified sound
What's that sound?
Continuation of the curiosity about the enigmatic sound
You got me hanging on
Feeling emotionally invested or attached to something
And listen to confessions on the telephone
Listening to confessions through the telephone
Hear me now
An urgent plea to be heard
Hear me now
Repetition of the plea for attention
Hear me now
Continued request to be heard
You beat me black and blonde
Experiencing physical harm, possibly symbolic of emotional pain
Somebody tell me what the hell is going on
Seeking understanding of a confusing situation
God save the middle child, she's never what she seems
Calling for divine intervention for someone misunderstood
Can't blame the middle child, she's drowning in her dreams
Recognizing the struggles of the middle child in their aspirations
Dumb me down
Expressing a desire to be perceived as less intelligent
Dumb me down
Repetition of the desire to be dumbed down
Dumb me down
Continued expression of the desire to be less intelligent
You got the wrong address
Being in the wrong situation or context
I'm a mortar and a pestal not a garlic press
Metaphorically describing oneself as a mortar and pestle
Beware the middle child she'll bring you to your knees
Warning about the potential harm caused by the middle child
She's just a little child who's fallen in between
Describing the middle child as a young individual caught between extremes
Save the middle child, she's never what she seems
Reiterating the plea for understanding and empathy for the middle child
Can't blame the middle child, she's drowning, in her dreams
Recognizing the drowning or overwhelming nature of the middle child's dreams
Hear me now
An urgent plea to be heard, similar to earlier lines
Hear me now
Repetition of the plea for attention
Hear me now
Continued request to be heard
You beat me black and blonde
Reiterating the experience of physical harm, possibly emphasizing it
Somebody tell me what the hell is going on Now
A call for clarity and understanding about the current situation
Beware the middle child she'll bring you to your knees
Reiteration of the warning about the middle child's potential harm
She's just a little child who's fallen in between
Repeating the description of the middle child caught between extremes
Save the middle child, she's never what she seems
Reiterating the plea for understanding and empathy for the middle child
Can't blame the middle child, she's drowning
Emphasizing the drowning nature of the middle child's struggles
She's drowning
Repetition of the drowning imagery for emphasis
A ring in my ears, from playing too loud
Experiencing a lingering effect from intense or loud activities
I hear the ocean, I hear the crowd
Hearing the ocean and the surrounding crowd, possibly signifying external influences
