Blur
Ambleside Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stab myself in the back motivation lacks
To keep your feet down on the tracks
Lost your purpose down the rabbit hole
The bags under my eyes don't
Have much room to hold
More baggage, can you stand it?
This cloud ran out of rain
I want to feel something even if it's pain
Does it all feel the same?
Left or right lane
We're swerving the wrong way
You're digging deeper collision
Toward the keeper blurred vision
You're digging deeper decisions
I'm digging deeper division
Lost your purpose down the rabbit hole
The bags under my eyes don't
Have much room to hold
More baggage, can you stand it?
Is your carriage crash landing again?
This cloud ran out of rain
I want to feel something even if it's pain
Does it all feel the same?
Left or right lane
We're swerving the wrong way
We're always the wrong way
You take a hold of me left your soul for me
Fall asleep and fall behind and
The lyrics to Ambleside's song "Blur" delve into themes of self-sabotage, internal struggle, and feeling lost. The opening lines, "Slipping through the cracks, Stab myself in the back, motivation lacks, To keep your feet down on the tracks," suggest a sense of feeling overwhelmed and unable to stay focused and motivated. The singer feels like they are constantly self-destructing and betraying themselves despite wanting to stay on the right path.
The next lines, "Lost your purpose down the rabbit hole, The bags under my eyes don't, Have much room to hold, More baggage, can you stand it? Is your carriage crash landing again?" allude to a deeper sense of being lost and losing sight of one's goals. The baggage symbolizes emotional burdens and past mistakes that weigh heavily on the singer, making it difficult for them to move forward and find their purpose. The mention of a crash landing suggests a repeated cycle of self-destruction and failure.
The chorus further explores the feeling of being trapped and stagnant: "This cloud ran out of rain, I want to feel something even if it's pain, Does it all feel the same? Left or right lane, We're swerving the wrong way." The cloud running out of rain indicates a lack of hope or positivity in the singer's life. They express a desire to feel something, even if it means experiencing pain, as it would be better than feeling nothing at all. The use of the metaphor of swerving in the wrong direction suggests that they are constantly making misguided choices and straying from the right path.
Overall, "Blur" portrays the struggle of feeling lost, lacking motivation, and continuously making self-destructive choices. The lyrics reflect a sense of longing for purpose, emotions, and a way to break free from the cycle of self-sabotage.
