Obvious
Blink 182 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think you used me again
Should we try this before we give up and move on
And pretend to restore what we have and hold on
At times like these
It's obvious
I saw you again
I know you fucked him again
Are you leaving me here with the taste of the end
At times like these
It's obvious
At times like these
It's obvious
I saw you again and again and again
There's some room to move on, to move on, to move on
And I saw you again and again and again
How do we fix this if we never have vision
I saw you again and again and again
There's some room to move on, to move on, to move on
And I saw you again and again and again
How do we fix this if we never have vision
I saw you again and again and again
There's some room to move on, to move on, to move on
And I saw you again and again and again
How do we fix this if we never have vision
I saw you again and again and again
There's some room to move on, to move on, to move on
And I saw you again and again and again
How do we fix this if we never have vision
The lyrics of Blink 182's song Obvious appear to be a conversation between two people who have been in a relationship, but now find themselves in a difficult situation. The singer has seen the other person again and suspects they have been used, and furthermore, that they have been cheated on with someone else. The person is left questioning whether they should try to work things out or give up and move on.
The lines "Can you comfort yourself with a sense of revenge, are you leaving me here with the taste of the end" suggest that the singer is struggling with feelings of betrayal and hurt, and is looking for some kind of resolution. They seem confused and unsure of what to do, both wanting to move on and wanting to fix things, but not knowing how to do so. The repetition of the line "at times like these, it's obvious" further emphasizes the confusion and frustration of the situation.
Overall, the song seems to be exploring themes of ambiguity and existential uncertainty. The singer is grappling with the problems of relationships, trust, and human nature, and ultimately, is left without any clear answers or solutions. The song seems to be both a lament and a plea, expressing the pain and confusion of a difficult situation, but also urging us to reflect on our own lives and our own struggles.

I saw you again
I encountered you once more
I think you used me again
I believe you manipulated me once more
Should we try this before we give up and move on
Shall we attempt to salvage our relationship before completely abandoning it?
And pretend to restore what we have and hold on
And feign mending our bond and holding onto it
At times like these
It's obvious
During situations such as these, it's apparent
I know you fucked him again
I am aware that you engaged in sexual activity with him again
Can you comfort yourself with a sense of revenge
Can you find solace in seeking retribution?
Are you leaving me here with the taste of the end
Are you departing and leaving me with the bitterness of the conclusion?
There's some room to move on, to move on, to move on
There is space to advance, to advance, to advance
How do we fix this if we never have vision
How do we repair this if we lack perception?
