Blackline Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He likes his danger to wander away.
And all I can do is just point this life nowhere.
And all I can say is just wandering thoughts full of grey.
And I would bleed out from my eyes to see you.
And if you ever come again, I'll follow.
Follow you until the end, I'll follow.
She likes to say love
And I like to make it.
But what can I do
When she looks,
With those eyes?
The more I can feel love,
The more she can take it.
I'll give it with roses
From wandering fields full of grey.
In the lyrics of the song Wherever by Blackline, the singer expresses his helplessness and frustration over his inability to direct his life in a meaningful direction. The opening lines illustrate the emotional conflict between the two characters he speaks about. The first woman hides her anger behind soft covers, while the second man enjoys being in danger. The singer feels lost and powerless in this scenario. He can only wander aimlessly with his thoughts full of gray. The singer longs to see one of these characters so badly that he would bleed out his eyes to do so. He promises to follow them to the end of the world if they ever returned.
The singer seems to be in a complicated situation with the woman he speaks of. She likes to talk about love, and he likes to make it, but here the singer seems to feel used. The singer feels that the more love he feels, the more she takes it from him. Despite this, he tries to give her love, possibly by gifting her roses from fields full of his wandering thoughts. By the end, the singer seems to have come to terms with the fact that he can't control everything in his life, including love, which makes him feel gray and amorphous.
