Forget It
Blood Orange Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Not yet complete
And your steaming ice
Follow me poor me
Poor you poor us
A fuss a fight
So I sat outside outside
I am not your savior
Baby Girl
I am not your savior
I am not your savior
What to do for when
We meet
I'm incomplete
And your freezing eyes
Wow me poor me
Poor you poor us
What's wrong with a little task
I am just a boy
I am so lonely
I am not your savior
I am not your savior
Baby Girl
I am not your savior
I am not your savior
I am not your savior
I am not your savior
Baby Girl
I am not your savior
I am not your savior
I am not your savior
Oh no
Honey, I am not your savior
Oh No
I am not your savior
Baby Girl
I am not your savior
Hurry x6
I am not your savior
Oh No
I am not your savior
Baby Girl
Hurry
I am not your savior
Oh no
I am not your savior
Baby Girl
I am not your savior
Hurry x6
I am not your savior
The lyrics to Blood Orange's Forget It seem to convey a sense of internal struggle and anxiety. The first verse describes feeling unique but incomplete while acknowledging the presence of a troubled relationship. The repetition of "poor me" and "poor us" suggests a feeling of helplessness, while the line "so I sat outside" creates an image of isolation and introspection.
The second verse continues to explore the complexity of the relationship, describing a sense of awe but also feeling incomplete and lonely. The repeated assertion "I am not your savior" seems to suggest a desire to break free from the burden of being someone else's solution or source of happiness, while also perhaps acknowledging a feeling of guilt or duty towards a partner. The repeated use of "Baby Girl" adds a sense of intimacy to the lyrics, and the urgency of the repeated "hurry" at the end of the song adds a sense of desperation or urgency.
Overall, the lyrics suggest a complex and troubled relationship, with a protagonist struggling with his own identity and sense of self-worth, while also grappling with the expectations and demands of a partner. The repetition of certain phrases and the use of short, simple sentences create a sense of emotional intensity and immediacy, reflecting the raw emotions that the singer seems to be experiencing.
