Consequences
Blank & Jones & Julian & Roman Wasserfuhr Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a pink coat
And she was real nice on
The eyes you know
But she said "I don't love you"
Why you gotta say it so loud?
If you let me in we can think
Of better ways to make
Decorate your face
And go cry in a beautiful place
Well isn't it a shame
Its ok, nothing matters anyway
I hear you got the blues
But refuse to be shaking them loose
Instead I shift some things
Like my weight
And the way that I look
Well yeah I get it
Cause you're busy and cool
But that's a sham
That I can't understand
Had a jabber with your dad
Then I'm breaking the news
Said I'd change the situation
But I can't reach you
I'm copacetic
Gonna pack-in the dream - she said
"It's so pathetic
That you're making a scene"
Well it's a part of living
There's some palaver with it
But go get done forgetting
And shy away loving
Decorate your face
And go cry in a beautiful place
Well isn't it a shame
It's ok, nothing matters anyway
I hear you got the blues
But refuse to be shaking them loose
Instead I shift some things
Like my weight
And the way that I look
The lyrics of "Consequences" by Blank & Jones & Julian & Roman Wasserfuhr explore themes of rejection, self-expression, and the complexities of relationships. The song tells the story of a narrator who had a job and a girl. The girl, described as wearing a pink coat and being nice on the eyes, tells the singer that she doesn't love him. The singer wonders why she had to say it so loudly and proposes finding better ways to communicate, suggesting a potential reconciliation.
The lyrics then shift to the idea of decorating one's face and crying in a beautiful place, as a way to cope with the pain and shame. The idea of nothing mattering implies a sense of resignation or apathy. The singer acknowledges hearing about the girl's blues but sees her refusal to let go of them as an obstacle to moving forward. Instead, the singer talks about shifting things, like their weight and appearance, perhaps implying a desire to change and adapt.
The verse about being busy and cool might suggest that the girl is preoccupied with her image and status, which the singer finds difficult to understand. The mention of having a conversation with the girl's father and trying to change the situation implies a willingness to make an effort to salvage the relationship. However, the girl dismisses the singer's attempt, calling it pathetic and accuses them of making a scene. The singer understands that such conflicts and misunderstandings are part of life, but encourages the girl to forget and move on, while still being open to love and affection.
Overall, "Consequences" portrays the emotional turbulence and challenges faced in relationships, while also highlighting the importance of self-expression and personal growth.

I had a job and a girl
I used to have a job and a girlfriend
With a pink coat
My girlfriend used to wear a pink coat
And she was real nice on
She appeared to be very pleasant when it comes to
The eyes you know
Her physical appearance, specifically her eyes
But she said "I don't love you"
However, she told me that she doesn't have romantic feelings for me
Why you gotta say it so loud?
Why did she have to announce it in such a public manner?
If you let me in we can think
If she allows me to be a part of her life, we can contemplate
Of better ways to make
Various improvements we can make in order to
A use of your mouth
Utilize her communication skills effectively
Decorate your face
Enhance your appearance
And go cry in a beautiful place
Find a picturesque location to shed tears
Well isn't it a shame
Isn't it unfortunate
Its ok, nothing matters anyway
But it's alright, nothing really holds significance
I hear you got the blues
I understand that you're feeling down or sad
But refuse to be shaking them loose
But you're determined not to let those feelings go away
Instead I shift some things
Instead, I change a few aspects
Like my weight
Such as my body weight
And the way that I look
And my overall appearance
Well yeah I get it
Well yes, I understand
Cause you're busy and cool
Because you're occupied and fashionable
But that's a sham
But that's a false pretense
That I can't understand
Which I struggle to comprehend
Had a jabber with your dad
Had a conversation with your father
Then I'm breaking the news
Then I'm delivering this message
Said I'd change the situation
I promised to alter the circumstances
But I can't reach you
But I can't connect with you
I'm copacetic
I am calm and content
Gonna pack-in the dream - she said
I will give up on the aspiration, she mentioned
"It's so pathetic
"It's incredibly sad
That you're making a scene"
That you're causing a public disturbance"
Well it's a part of living
Well, it's a natural aspect of life
There's some palaver with it
It involves some unnecessary fuss
But go get done forgetting
But just forget about it and move on
And shy away loving
And avoid expressing love
