C.N.BLUE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
New year but the same old you
Autumn comin’ and she feelin’ the blues
From afar, girl, I’m rooting for you
She get her tattoos removed
New phone but the same old you
Sugar daddy went and paid for the coup
I’m away, but I’m rooting for you
But you’ve got my respect
She dipped her home too young to drink
So she could go and chase a check
A couple things she did she did
So she could go and pay the rent
But now she’s got some sugar daddies
Putting diamonds on her neck
Don’t let them tell you that you not accomplished
I know some people that’s in debt
Cuz they ain’t see their options
A couple died along the way
And more dealing with problems
I see you grinding
And I admire you getting commas
She get her tattoos removed
New year but the same old you
Autumn comin’ and she feelin’ the blues
From afar, girl, I’m rooting for you
She get her tattoos removed
New phone but the same old you
Sugar daddy went and paid for the coup
I’m away, but I’m rooting for you
I can see you changing back
All your family wonder where you at
Leaving everybody in the past
I just hope you find your way back
I can see you changing back
All your family wonder where you at
Leaving everybody in the past
I just hope you find your way back
C.N. Blue's song "Tattoo" tells the story of a young woman who is trying to make her way in the world. She has made some mistakes along the way, but she is determined to succeed. The song begins with her getting her tattoos removed, which is a symbol of her trying to move on from her past. The chorus repeats the line "new year but the same old you", which suggests that while she is trying to change, she is also still the same person at heart.
The second verse talks about her past experiences, such as starting work before she was old enough to drink and doing things she wouldn't normally do to pay the rent. However, she now has "sugar daddies putting diamonds on her neck", which implies that she has found a way to make money without compromising her morals. The lyrics "don't let them tell you that you're not accomplished" show that the singer supports the woman's choices and recognizes that she has worked hard to get where she is.
In the bridge, the singer acknowledges that the woman has changed and has left some people behind. He hopes that she will find her way back to herself but recognizes that it is ultimately her choice.
Overall, "Tattoo" is a thoughtful and sympathetic portrayal of a woman who is trying to navigate her way through life and make her dreams come true.
