At a New York concert, in March 2016, media guests were asked to check in under aliases that they had received with their ticket confirmations.
Brutal
Dean Blunt Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Said, it has gone away and I’m still here
Now, I can’t do my thing without you near
'Cause you have gone away without me there
Yeah
We’re coming to the end, my friend yeah
When you recall my name, I’ll never be there
You think you're better off, yeah
We can't evolve
'Cause you have gone away and I’m still here
Girl if you see my face, I’ll die to be there
You will fall from grace without me there
And I will find my place without you here
The lyrics to Dean Blunt's song "Brutal" convey a sense of longing and loss in a relationship. The singer acknowledges that their partner has moved on, leaving them behind, and expresses the difficulty of moving forward without their presence. The repeated phrase "It has gone away and I'm still here" reflects the singer's feelings of abandonment and being stuck in a state of longing. They admit that they cannot fully embrace their own identity or pursue their passions without their partner near.
The lyrics also touch upon the idea of the relationship coming to an end. The line "We're coming to the end, my friend" suggests an impending breakup or separation. The singer resigns themselves to the fact that their name will no longer be remembered, emphasizing the lack of presence and significance they feel in the absence of their partner. The mention of the partner giving themselves to someone else further heightens the feelings of betrayal and inadequacy.

It has gone away and I’m still here
Even though it has departed, I remain present
Said, it has gone away and I’m still here
I repeat, it has left and I remain
Now, I can’t do my thing without you near
In the absence of your proximity, I am unable to function as usual
'Cause you have gone away without me there
Because you departed without my presence
Yeah
Indeed
We’re coming to the end, my friend yeah
We are approaching the conclusion, my companion
When you recall my name, I’ll never be there
If you remember me, I will never be present
Yeah you gave your ass to someone else
Yes, you surrendered your body to another individual
You think you're better off, yeah
You believe you are in a more advantageous situation
We can't evolve
We are unable to progress and develop
'Cause you have gone away and I’m still here
Because you departed and I remain
Girl if you see my face, I’ll die to be there
If you have a glimpse of my countenance, I would be willing to perish to be with you
You will fall from grace without me there
Without my presence, you will lose favor and approval
And I will find my place without you here
In the absence of your existence, I will discover my purpose and location
