Repetition
Blur愀 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

So sure, so sure you are
Nothing can,touch you know
I need to know
Did you think of me?
But you're forgetting me now

Slow down, don't be so
Eager to let me go

Realize it could change you
It could change your mind

Try, try, try
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again?
Try again

Slow down, don't be so
Eager to let me go
I need to know
Did you think of me?
But you've forgotten me now

Try, try, try
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again?
Try again, try again, try again

Try, try, try
Try, try, try
All things remain the same
So why try again?
Try again, try again, try again

Try, try, yeah
Try, try, yeah

Overall Meaning

The song "Repetition" by Blur seems to be a conversation between two people in a relationship. One person is confident in their feelings and believes that nothing can shake them from their position. They appear to be so sure of themselves that they forget about their partner who is questioning their place in the relationship. The partner is unsure of where they stand with their loved one and they have to ask if they ever think of them.

The chorus "All things remain the same, so why try again?" seems to be the partner's frustration of being stuck in a relationship where they feel ignored or forgotten. They are trying to reason with their loved one and hoping that they will change their mind about the relationship.

Overall, "Repetition" appears to be a song about a relationship where one partner is confident and the other is questioning their place in it. It's about the frustration that can come from feeling forgotten and ignored, and the hope that things will change.
