Blindspott Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This time when I feel myself up in her
Even though I don't want to
And one side of me says kill her
But that just won't do
So I say we're through
So I say we're...
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
(I DON'T KNOW WHY)
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
(I DON'T KNOW WHY)
I think it's time to pack your things let's go
To a place where we both know
And don't worry, I'll drive real slow
Spend some time before we go
Spend some time before we go
So I way we're...
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
(I DON'T KNOW WHY)
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
(I DON'T KNOW WHY)
Get up in your face with a sickness a quickness
Dialect I inject, will we be up tongue kissing all night
To make you feel right
So I say we're through
It doesn't sink in to you, oh please don't make me hate you
But that just won't do, so I say we're through
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
(I DON'T KNOW WHY)
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me
(I DON'T KNOW WHY)
The lyrics to Blindspott's song Nil by Mouth are open to interpretation, but they seem to tell a story about a relationship that has gone wrong. There is a sense of confusion and frustration as the singer tries to figure out his own feelings towards his partner. He feels conflicted about his desire for her and the anger he feels towards her, and ultimately decides to end the relationship.
The chorus is a repeated phrase, "Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me," which seems to reflect the singer's frustration with his partner not understanding him or knowing him as well as she should. He then suggests that they leave and go somewhere they both know, potentially symbolizing a desire to start fresh or escape from their problems. The song ends with a final assertion that they are through and the repeated phrase of "Stop and stare what the fuck you don't know me."
Overall, the lyrics to Nil by Mouth are dark and introspective, offering a glimpse into the complexities of a dysfunctional relationship.

I think this song stucked in my brain for more than 20 years and suddenly something triggered my memory to look for it while I waiting for a cab at the lobby mall today. I don't even remember the song title but I quickly remember the bands name
