Veto Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We've been over this a hundred times
And I'm tired now
Yes, I'm tired now
We've been sitting here
We've been talking now for hours on
And I'm tired now
Yes, I'm tired now
You are nothing without that someone
To keep you from blackin' out
I've been walking here
I've been walking here for hours now
And I'm tired now
Yes, I'm tired now
When you see this place
The things I say rewind and play again
And I can't find the cord to pull the plug
So I loop forever, loop forever, loop forever
You are nothing without that someone
To keep you from blackin' out
You are nothing
without that someone to keep you grounded and prevent you from losing control. The singer is tired of going over the same issues with their partner, and they've been sitting and talking for hours. The repetition of being "tired now" could signify emotional exhaustion from the constant arguing or the lack of progress in their relationship. When the singer mentions "looping forever," it could be interpreted as feeling trapped in the same cycle or loop of problems, unable to break free from it. The line "And I can't find the cord to pull the plug" could symbolize a desire to end the relationship but feeling unable to do so, perhaps due to fear of being alone or codependency.
Overall, "Blackout" seems to be about the struggles of a failing relationship and the need for an anchor to prevent one from losing control or giving up. The song reflects the raw emotions and weariness that come with fighting for a love that may no longer work.

We've been over this
We have previously discussed this matter
We've been over this a hundred times
We have had this conversation multiple times
And I'm tired now
I am currently fatigued
Yes, I'm tired now
Affirming my current exhaustion
We've been sitting here
We have been stationary and conversing
We've been talking now for hours on
We have been engaged in conversation for several hours
You are nothing without that someone
You are not complete without a particular individual
To keep you from blackin' out
To prevent experiencing unconsciousness or memory loss
When you see this place
Upon observing this location
The things I say rewind and play again
My words repeat in your mind
And I can't find the cord to pull the plug
I cannot end this situation
So I loop forever, loop forever, loop forever
I am stuck in a never-ending cycle
I've been walking here
I have been traveling on foot
I've been walking here for hours now
I have been walking for many hours
You are nothing
You have no worth or significance
