Blondes
Blu Detiger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Searching for somebody and I think it's you tonight
I'm too happy, it's annoying
Life is getting kinda boring (lala, lalala, la)
'Cause all I really want is for you to put me in a coffin
And then you'll lock it up and drop it, uh-huh
Five, six, seven, eight
They say that blondes, they have more fun (they have more fun)
Get what they want (get what they want), why am I so different?
I'm just sitting at home, feeling dumb and alone
Trynna flex on all my exes, trying on all of my dresses
I've been looking for something to make feel alive
Searching for somebody and I think it's you tonight
Pick me up, take me out, break my heart
Make it hurt, twist the knife, take my love
Say, "Hello", say, "Goodbye" (say, "Goodbye")
Donna Summer, give me hot stuff
Wanna dance in a hot tub, take a dip in a hot club
Penne, penne a la vodka
I wanna go out, I wanna go out
'Cause I can't stand what I'm about
And I'm like, "What the fuck?" Right now
Like chow
They say that blondes, they have more fun (they have more fun)
Get what they want (get what they want), why am I so different?
I'm just sitting at home, feeling dumb and alone
Trynna flex on all my exes, trying on all of my dresses
I've been looking for something to make feel aliveSearching for somebody and I think it's you tonight
Pick me up, take me out, break my heart
Make it hurt, twist the knife, take my love
Say, "Hello", say, "Goodbye" (hey)
I've been looking for something to make feel alive (yeah)
Searching for somebody and I think it's you tonight (oh, oh-oh-oh, oh)
Pick me up, take me out, break my heart
Make it hurt (make it hurt), twist the knife, take my love (take my love)
Say, "Hello", say, "Goodbye"
In the song "Blondes" by Blu Detiger, the lyrics depict a sense of restlessness and longing for excitement and fulfillment. The singer expresses a desire to feel alive and finds themselves searching for someone, possibly a romantic interest, whom they believe can bring that spark back into their life. The mention of wanting to be put in a coffin and locked up can be seen as a metaphor for intense emotions and a willingness to experience something intense and transformative.
The chorus of the song touches on the stereotype that "blondes have more fun," but the singer questions why they feel different and disconnected from this perception. Despite trying to project confidence and independence by flexing on their ex-partners and experimenting with different outfits, they still feel a sense of emptiness and loneliness while sitting at home. This highlights a theme of internal conflict and a desire to break free from monotony.
The reference to Donna Summer and wanting to dance in a hot tub or go out reveals a craving for escapism and excitement, as well as a yearning for a change in their current state of mind. The mention of penne a la vodka could symbolize indulgence and seeking pleasure in simple joys. The frustration and self-doubt expressed in the verse show a struggle with self-perception and a longing to shed their current identity for something more fulfilling and stimulating.
Overall, "Blondes" captures a complex mix of emotions such as longing, disillusionment, and a quest for authenticity. The singer's search for someone to make them feel alive, coupled with the conflicting feelings of wanting to be hurt and seeking love, showcases a yearning for intensity and connection. The repeated refrain of saying "Hello" and "Goodbye" may symbolize a cycle of seeking new beginnings and endings, hinting at a desire for change and a sense of renewal in the singer's life.
