Blueprints
Dakota Blue Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I will finish what you started
But those blueprints dont look right to me
Details have been disregarded
Pay no mind to what you cant see

Nice try
Not quite
Step aside

You′re standing in my light

Secrets tend to lose their meaning
When concealed behind your teeth
Its a different form of stealing
Though in the end youre still a theif

Nice try
Not quite
Step aside
You're standing in my light
I′m a nice guy
Not quite

Squinting at the sight
Of your harsh light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Dakota Blue's song "Blueprints" capture a sense of determination and steadfastness in the face of adversity. The opening line, "I will finish what you started," suggests a sense of responsibility to see a project through to completion, even if the task at hand is difficult or the plans are imperfect. However, the following lines - "But those blueprints don't look right to me / Details have been disregarded / Pay no mind to what you can't see" - indicate that the road ahead holds unknown challenges and obstacles that may require flexibility and adaptation. The singer seems to be urging himself/herself on despite these uncertainties, though, as demonstrated by the repeated lines "Nice try / Not quite / Step aside / You're standing in my light."

Line by Line Meaning

I will finish what you started
I will complete the work that you have begun

But those blueprints dont look right to me
However, the plan of action you left behind seems to be flawed

Details have been disregarded
Important information has been neglected

Pay no mind to what you cant see
Ignore what you cannot comprehend

Nice try
You tried your best to deceive me

Not quite
But your efforts did not bear fruit

Step aside
Move out of the way

You′re standing in my light
You are blocking my view and preventing me from succeeding

Secrets tend to lose their meaning
Keeping information hidden can cause it to become insignificant

When concealed behind your teeth
When you refuse to speak about it

Its a different form of stealing
It is another way of taking something that does not belong to you
