Blue Cheese
Chez Ali Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mind proceeds with the thought
That there's some other guy who isn't I
tear my eye, broken down on his timeline
My stomach runs on fumes,
nothing there but rotten perfume,
it isn't me to lose my cool like this

With a smile, you turn the knife

Spill my guts on the floor
But wait, hold that thought
I don't wanna hear about this anymore

Brown eyes, drown the white stains
With ease like the flick of a brush
Lost our touch, but how long
Must I wait till we're done
Was it foolish to believe,
hearts and miss ya" meant a thing
If it isn't me, then why'd do me like this

You smile, and turn the knife
Spill my guts on the floor

But wait, hold that thought
I don't wanna hear about this anymore

Overall Meaning

In Chez Ali's song "Blue Cheese", the musician is lamenting about a past romantic relationship that has gone bad. The opening lines suggest feelings of jealousy and insecurity, as the artist believes there is another man involved with his former lover. The lyrics then describe the turmoil and distress he feels - his stomach is running on empty and he can only smell the pungent aroma of decay. Despite his frustration, the artist knows that losing his temper won't solve anything.

However, the chorus of the song strikes a more confrontational tone. The artist accuses his ex-lover of turning the knife in his emotional wounds with her words, which spill his guts out onto the floor. The brown eyes mentioned in the second verse suggest a possible identity for the ex-lover. The line "hearts and miss ya" in the same verse alludes to sentimental platitudes that are exchanged between ex-partners out of guilt, but which ultimately mean little. The artist suggests that he's been hurt deeply by his ex-lover's behavior, and that he doesn't want to hear any more of her lies.

Overall, "Blue Cheese" can be interpreted as a cautionary tale about the importance of being honest in relationships. Chez Ali suggests that people can hide their true intentions behind empty words, and that it's important to pay attention to actions rather than just words.
