Blackwaters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lights are low
We sing are hearts out
To electro
We′re turning heads
And taking smokes
From people that you used to know
She's a freak
And she wont get out my dreams
And I′m wasting
I can see, that Im losing all of me
Forget myself and dance like she's watching
Oh, Forget myself and dance like she's watching
And my heart dropped
Time will tell
The lights are on
Reflecting off everything
We′re swimming on acting so sweet
I wonder if she knows how I feel
Im a loser
She′s a freak
And she wont get out my dreams
And I'm wasting
I can see, that Im losing all of me
Forget myself and dance like she′s watching
Oh, Forget myself and dance like she's watching
And my heart dropped
The wind is blowing past the first sign of life in the morning
Oh and they say it gets easier
Oh, But I can′t fall asleep
Im a loser
She's a freak
And she wont get out my dreams
And I′m wasting
I can feel, that Im losing all of
Forget myself and dance like she's watching
Oh, Forget myself and dance like she's watching
Forget myself and dance like she′s watching
Oh, Forget myself and dance like she′s watching
And my heart dropped
The lyrics to Blackwaters's song "Forget Myself" describe a night out, possibly in a club, where the singer and their friends are singing their hearts out to electro music. The singer is clearly interested in someone they call a freak, who they can't get out of their head even though they consider themselves a loser. They feel like they are losing a part of themselves and wasting their time. The chorus suggests that they need to forget themselves and dance as if this person is watching in order to fully embrace the moment. The bridge references a restless night where the singer is struggling to sleep, possibly due to their thoughts about this person.
Overall, the song seems to be about feeling vulnerable and unsure of oneself around a person of interest. The need to forget oneself and fully embrace the moment could be seen as a desire to let go of these insecurities and just enjoy the experience. It's a relatable sentiment for anyone who's ever felt nervous or awkward in the presence of someone they find attractive.

Walking home
Returning home on foot
The lights are low
The street lights aren't very bright
We sing our hearts out
Singing loudly and passionately
To electro
To electronic music
We're turning heads
Attracting attention from others
And taking smokes
Stealing cigarettes from people they know
From people that you used to know
Taking cigarettes from people they were once acquainted with
I'm a loser
I feel like a failure
She's a freak
She's unusual or different
And she won't get out my dreams
I can't stop thinking about her
And I'm wasting
I'm losing time or not making progress
I can see, that I'm losing all of me
I can feel myself losing my identity or sense of self
Forget myself and dance like she's watching
Get lost in the moment and dance as if she's there watching me
And my heart dropped
My heart sank or I felt a sudden emotional change
Time will tell
We'll see what happens in the future
The lights are on
The lights in a building or room are turned on
Reflecting off everything
Shining on and producing reflections on all the surfaces
We're swimming on acting so sweet
We're floating on the good feelings and behaving in a positive way
I wonder if she knows how I feel
I'm unsure if she's aware of my emotions
I can feel, that I'm losing all of
I can sense that I'm losing my sense of self
The wind is blowing past the first sign of life in the morning
The wind is passing by the first indications of activity or wakefulness in the early morning
Oh and they say it gets easier
People say that things become easier with time
Oh, But I can't fall asleep
Despite this, I'm unable to fall asleep
Forget myself and dance like she's watching
Become lost in the moment and dance as if she's observing me
Forget myself and dance like she's watching
Get lost in the moment and dance as if she's there watching me
Forget myself and dance like she's watching
Become lost in the moment and dance as if she's observing me
And my heart dropped
My heart sank or I felt a sudden emotional change
