Blurry
Crown the Empire Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A little closer than I needed
I'm so scared that I might be here alone
Take it all back now
To the places I tried leaving
Every map I follow leads to the unknown
I should know
Bend and break to see through the lines
Afraid to frame my life
I should know
But I'm scared I'm right
Bend and break to see through the lines
It's easier than saying goodbye
Why do I still feel so lost?
Why do I still seem out of place?
Everyone's out of focus
Everything blurry looks the same
Why do I still feel so lost? (So lost, so lost)
I feel so far away
Why do I still feel so lost?
Everything blurry looks the same
Why do I, why do I, why do I
Why do I, why do I
When I look back
I never seem to see things clearly
I'm dizzy, yeah, I've spun out of control
'Cause when I look back, now
To the lie I keep repeating
I'm so scared that I believe it
(I'm so scared that I believe it)
Why do I still feel so lost?
Why do I still seem out of place?
Everyone's out of focus
Everything blurry looks the same
Why do I still feel so lost? (So lost, so lost)
I feel so far away
Why do I still feel so lost?
Everything blurry looks the same (same, same, same)
Everything blurry looks the same (same, same, same)
I should know
But I'm scared I'm right
Bend and break to see through the lines
It's easier than saying goodbye
Why do I still feel so lost?
Why do I still seem out of place?
Everyone's out of focus
Everything blurry looks the same
Why do I still feel so lost? (So lost, so lost)
I feel so far away
Why do I still feel so lost?
Everything blurry looks the same
Why do I, why do I, why do I
Why do I, why do I, why do I still feel out of place
Why do I, why do I, why do I
Why do I, why do I, why do I still feel out of place
In Crown the Empire's song "Blurry," the lyrics express a sense of confusion and feeling lost in life. The song opens with the line "Take it all back, a little closer than I needed," indicating a feeling of discomfort with the current state of things. The singer expresses fear of being alone and a desire to return to familiar places they've tried to leave. However, despite following maps, they are still led to the unknown.
The chorus repeats the question "Why do I still feel so lost?" and emphasizes the feeling of being out of focus and everything appearing the same. The singer looks back at their past and recognizes they never saw things clearly, and now they feel dizzy and out of control. They admit to repeating a lie and being scared that they believe it.
The repeated line "I should know, but I'm scared I'm right" suggests that the singer knows deep down what they need to do to feel less lost, but they are afraid of taking that action because it may be difficult or painful. The song ends on a somber note, with the repetition of the phrase "Why do I still feel out of place?" conveying a sense of discontent and longing for clarity.
Overall, "Blurry" is a reflective and introspective song that deals with themes of uncertainty and searching for meaning in one's life.

My vision of the past is obscured
I'm dizzy, yeah, I've spun out of control
I feel overwhelmed and disoriented
To the lie I keep repeating
I continue to tell myself untruths
I'm so scared that I believe it
I'm frightened that my lies have become my reality
Everything blurry looks the same (same, same, same)
My confusion makes everything appear identical
Why do I, why do I, why do I still feel out of place
I'm questioning why I still don't feel like I belong

Honestly, never thought about that lyrics could hit me so hard. I was always scared and felt so sorry for people with mental illnesses and now Iām one of those people.. I think bands like CTE or Linkin Park and many other Bands are trying to help and show us, people with mental illnesses, that weāre not alone. Theyāre reaching out to us... so much respect for that, itās not easy
