Into Another
Blur Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It starts feeling now
It makes no inference of difference
It still won't see it's his
Faint from lack of air
It makes a whistle with a twistle
But no one can hear
I didn't stay long
I had to go away to stay
As long as I could
So I'm happy here
Cause here is where the heart is
I know you think that too
Into another
You and me
Am I dead?
Sleep in Harlow's bed
Into another
You and me
Am I dead?
Sleep in Harlow's bed
Listening to our tune
With headphone and volume on
I can read your lips
And in a clinical term
"I hear," it said
"Everything is beautiful, but nothing hurt"
Into another
You and me
Am I dead?
Sleep in Harlow's bed
Into another
You and me




Am I dead
Sleep in Harlow's bed

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Blur's song "Into Another" depict a sense of confusion and disorientation. The opening lines "It starts feeling now, it makes no inference of difference" can be interpreted as the singer feeling overwhelmed by their emotions and struggling to make sense of them. They continue by saying "it still won't see it's his," suggesting that despite their efforts, they cannot quite grasp the source of their emotions.


The second verse begins with the line "faint from lack of air," which could allude to the singer's feeling of suffocation or drowning in their emotions. They mention a whistle with a twistle, but no one can hear it, perhaps indicating the sense of isolation and disconnect they feel from others.


As the song progresses, it becomes clearer that the singer is seeking refuge in a relationship, with the lines "here is where the heart is, I know you think that too." They find solace in being with their partner and listening to music together, with the repeated lines "Into another, you and me, am I dead? Sleep in Harlow's bed."
