Thank You
Evans Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Render hate to cure the warth as we
Find new ways we define duality
Desperate to relate, rewrite me
Fire finds me
Dubt burns without defense
Wired brindly, well
I can't go back in time tonight
I see the ashes of my life
Thank you, hate you
Been caged inside my only life and I blame you
Escape you (Hear the truth inside to find it)
Hate you, I just wanted to thank you
Chasing shattered passing memories
Right or wrong I need the company
Comfort me, come between confront me
Fate is not afraid it's the enemy
Liars find me
Words come without regret
Wired blindly, well
Here I go again
I can't go back in time tonight
I see the ashes of my life
Thank you, hate you
Been caged inside my only life and I blame you
Escape you (Hear the truth inside to find it)
Hate you, I just wanted to thank you
Shielding then using the words of an enemy
Truth is the lie in disguise
Pleasing then choosing the words for a remedy
Keeping your ghost in my eyes!
I can't go back in time tonight
I see the ashes of my life
Thank you, hate you
Been caged inside my only life and I blame you
Escape you (Hear the truth inside to find it)
Hate you, I just wanted to thank you
The lyrics of Evans Blue's "Thank You" capture the emotions of someone who has been hurt by another person but has also grown and learned from the experience. The song explores themes of duality, moving on, and finding strength in difficult situations. The lines "Building shaping shallow fallacy, render hate to cure the warth as we, find new ways we define duality" suggest that we often construct false realities and turn to hate to overcome the pain, but it is only through embracing the contradictions within ourselves that we will find true understanding.
As the song continues, the singer speaks of chasing "shattered passing memories" and acknowledges that they need company, even if it may not always be the right kind. The lines "Shielding then using the words of an enemy, truth is the lie in disguise" suggest that we often try to protect ourselves by using the tactics of those who have hurt us, but this only leads us further into confusion. The chorus repeats the words "Thank You" and "Hate You," implying that the singer is both resentful and grateful towards the person who has caused them pain.
Overall, "Thank You" is a powerful exploration of complex emotions and the struggles that come with navigating difficult relationships. It encourages listeners to dig deep and find meaning in both the good and bad experiences of life.
