Thoughts
Christopher Blake Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm pouring my soul into the things I do
And they say I'm living in the clouds
Well, maybe I'm just high off loving you
But it hurts when I see
Your body on my newsfeed, all the children going thirsty
Off the love that's unrequited, all alone into the night
Oh it's true
I'm drowning in the light, that keeps my darkness right beside me
While I'm working on my demons
Keeping track of all my schemes and my victories too
I think about it when the love runs low
Lover, lover, let me know
I think about it when the love runs low
Baby girl let me know
But it hurts when I see
Your body on my newsfeed, all the children going thirsty
Off the love that's unrequited, all alone into the night
I know she wants me to see, wants me to bleed
Oh it's true
I'm drowning in the light, that keeps my darkness right beside me
While I'm working on my demons
Keeping track of all my schemes and my victories too
I think about it when the love runs low
Lover, lover, let me know
I think about it when the love runs low
Baby girl let me know
The lyrics in Christopher Blake's "Thoughts" express the emotional turmoil of being lost in a cloud of love and feeling overwhelmed by the endless stream of negative news that floods our screens every day. As the artist muses, the weather is getting him down and he struggles to find solace in his endeavors. The line, "Maybe I'm just high off loving you," captures the feeling of being so consumed by love that it can be intoxicating, but ultimately only offers temporary relief from the outside world's problems.
The song shifts from discussing love to the struggles of the real world and the pain we feel when we see the suffering of others. The artist mourns the current reality of children going hungry, thirsty, and the fact that their love remains unrequited. The line, "I know she wants me to see, wants me to bleed" suggests the influence of someone who wants the artist to understand and empathize with those suffering around them. Despite this, the artist talks about drowning in the light, being consumed by the positivity that surrounds him but struggling to reconcile this with the demons that he is battling personally.
Ultimately "Thoughts" captures the experience of many people caught in a constant flood of negativity and trying to find meaning and hope while acknowledging the reality of the world's pain. The artist is searching for a way to balance his personal demons, the pain of the outside world, and the intoxication of love.

Keeping track of all my schemes and my victories too
I am documenting both my plans and accomplishments
I think about it when the love runs low
I reflect on these struggles when I am feeling unloved
Lover, lover, let me know
I am requesting that my lover keep me informed of their feelings
Baby girl let me know
Again, I am asking my partner to communicate with me and share their emotions
