Figure It Out
Royal Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a kid like me
Trying to cut some teeth
Trying to figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
I'm still in here trying to figure it out
Getting hard to sleep
Blood is in my dreams
Love is killing me
Trying to figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
I'm still in here trying to figure it out
I let it go, 'cause I won't see you later
And we're not allowed to talk it out
I said I'd go, put myself on show
But I'm still trying to figure it out
I broke my shoe, tripped and fell on you
But you didn't know I planned it out
I said I'd go, yeah, I won't see you later
And we're not allowed to figure it out, oh
Nothing here to see
Just a kid like me
Trying to cut some teeth
Trying to figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
I'm still in here trying to figure it out
I let it go, 'cause I won't see you later
And we're not allowed to talk it out
I said I'd go, put myself on show
But I'm still trying to figure it out
I broke my shoe, tripped and fell on you
But you didn't know I planned it out
I said I'd go, yeah I won't see you later
And we're not allowed to figure it out
Yeah
The song "Figure It Out" by Royal Blood is a song that essentially deals with frustration and the feeling of being lost. The lyrics describe a young person who is confused and trying to find their way through the difficult journey of life. The opening lines of the song, "nothing here to see, just a kid like me, trying to cuss and see, trying to figure it out" captures this feeling quite well. The character is seemingly aimless, searching for direction, unable to sleep as they grapple with the weight of their questions.
The line "And still I'm here trying to figure it out" is repeated throughout the song, and emphasizes the idea that figuring things out isn't easy, but it is essential to making progress. The character acknowledges that they are "stuck" on someone, but there is "nothing better to do" than to try and work through their thoughts and feelings. The phrase "I'm not allowed to talk it out" adds to the sense of frustration and confusion, the suggestion that the person has nobody to turn to.
Ultimately, the song is about the struggle of growing up and trying to navigate the complex world around us. It has a sense of urgency to it, as if the character realizes that they need to figure things out and make progress before it's too late.

@LordofDiamondsMetal
Unbelieveable that the guitar is actually a bass...
@wkcchampion
Listen to Think for yourself by The Beatles. This kind of fuzz bass sound was already with us in 1965.
@andreasua5719
Actually is both things, he made this special instrument which plays as the same time bass and guitar, plus he sings...
@sebastianbruzzone4731
@Harvey Tomlinson No, it isn't

@schana96
@@andreasua5719 The bass isn't special, he just uses a combination of pedals, splitters and guitar - as well as - bass amps.
