Blues
B.B. On Mars Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The strangest thing is where I am
And also who I am right now
I cannot recall what happened
It seems to be a blur to me
Nothing is what I want in life
So who changed my philosophy
The existential crisis
Removed my body from my mind




Overall Meaning

In the song "Blues in 2-3" by B.B. On Mars, the singer is expressing confusion and disorientation about their current state of being. The opening lines suggest a disconnect between their physical location and their sense of self: "The strangest thing is where I am / And also who I am right now." They then reveal that they have no memory of how they arrived in this state, as if their past has been wiped clean: "I cannot recall what happened / It seems to be a blur to me." This disorientation has led to a profound sense of dissatisfaction and ennui, as if they are lost in their own existence: "Nothing is what I want in life / So who changed my philosophy."


The final line, "The existential crisis / Removed my body from my mind," is particularly telling. It suggests a fundamental schism between the singer's physical self and their sense of self. In other words, they feel disconnected from their own body and mind. This is a common theme in existentialist thought, which emphasizes the individual's struggle to find meaning and purpose in an often confusing and absurd world. The singer's experience of disconnect and disorientation is therefore a symptom of this struggle, a reflection of the broader existential crisis that we all face.
