Blame
Unveiling the Shadows: Exploring Self-Blame in Tiago Iorc's 'Blame'
Lyrics
I got your message on the phone
Receiving your message on the phone.
It says -I'm feeling all alone
Your message expresses a sense of loneliness.
And I'm the one to blame, well
Accepting responsibility for the situation, acknowledging blame.
At least that's according to what you say
Indicating that the attribution of blame is based on your perspective.
But I think you're wrong
Disagreeing with the accusation, suggesting an alternate view.
We we're never meant to belong
Expressing that the relationship was not destined to last.
When you've got nothing to hold on
Describing a state of having nothing to grasp or hold onto.
You blame it all on me
Being accused of the situation when there is nothing to hold onto.
You need something to hold on, besides me
Expressing the need for something else to hold onto, besides the speaker.
It felt like turning into stone
Describing a feeling of becoming unresponsive or emotionally distant.
Made sure my feelings didn't show
Taking measures to conceal one's emotions.
How could I be accused
Questioning the validity of being accused.
When deep inside you always knew
Suggesting that despite external appearances, you knew the truth within.
That you could be wrong
Challenging the assumption that the speaker is at fault.
That I'd be long gone
Expecting the speaker to have moved on or left.
When you've got nothing to hold on
Reiterating the accusation when there is nothing to grasp.
You blame it all on me
Highlighting the need for someone or something else to be blamed.
You need something to hold on, besides me
Expressing the need for an alternative support, apart from the speaker.
