Blank Space
Daniel Jang Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Nice to meet you, where you been
I could show you incredible things
Magic, madness, heaven, sin
Saw you there and I thought
"Oh, my God, look at that face!"
You look like my next mistake
Love's a game, wanna play?
New money, suit and tie
I can read you like a magazine
Ain't it funny? Rumors fly
And I know you heard about me
So hey, let's be friends
I'm dying to see how this one ends
Grab your passport and my hand
I can make the bad guys good for a weekend

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Cherry lips, crystal skies
I could show you incredible things
Stolen kisses, pretty lies
You're the King, baby, I'm your Queen
Find out what you want
Be that girl for a month
Wait, the worst is yet to come, oh no

Screaming, crying, perfect storms
I can make all the tables turn
Rose garden filled with thorns
Keep you second guessing like
"Oh, my God, who is she?"
I get drunk on jealousy
But you'll come back each time you leave
'Cause, darling, I'm a nightmare dressed like a daydream

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya
Boys only want love if it's torture
Don't say I didn't say, I didn't warn ya

So it's gonna be forever
Or it's gonna go down in flames
You can tell me when it's over
If the high was worth the pain
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane
'Cause you know I love the players
And you love the game

'Cause we're young and we're reckless
We'll take this way too far
It'll leave you breathless
Or with a nasty scar
Got a long list of ex-lovers
They'll tell you I'm insane




But I've got a blank space, baby
And I'll write your name

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Daniel Jang's song "Blank Space" narrate the story of a woman who falls in and out of love easily. The song starts with the woman meeting a new love interest and suggesting that she could show him "incredible things" such as magic, madness, heaven, and sin. She then reveals that she has a reputation for being crazy according to her ex-lovers, but she's not afraid because she has a blank space in which she can write her new love interest's name.


As the song progresses, the woman warns her new love interest about her tendencies to have toxic relationships, saying that "Boys only want love if it's torture." Still, the woman expresses confidence in her ability to make things work this time around, promising to take her new love interest to places they've never been before.


Overall, the lyrics portray a chaotic and complicated love life that the woman seems to embrace despite the potential consequences. The chorus repeats the idea that this love story will be either "forever" or it will "go down in flames."

Ever since I discovered your videos a few years ago, my dream to learn violin has strengthened. This year for my birthday I finally got my first violin at 16 years of age. It's a little late to begin learning but I aspire to be as good as you some day. I want to thank you for giving me the motivation to follow through with my dream, I didn't think I would have been able to do it, I've always doubted myself but listening to you play violin has really inspired me and given me that extra push I needed. Your work gives me goosebumps and I can only hope that one day I can make people feel the same. You play with such emotion and I can tell from your facial expressions and how you play that you enjoy what you do, and by doing that you're such a massive inspiration. Again, thank you so much and keep up the good work lovely, I hope some day that I can meet you and thank you in person for how much you have helped me. <3

Lucia Andersen

Good Luck

I accidentally bump into one of your videos, which is your cover of "rude" by magic and guess what, i'm already a fan. 😄 I watched your other videos and you never fail me. I'm already thinking to learn how to play violin. Your videos give me chills whenever I play them. Keep up the good work!
