Blink
Love Seed Mama Jump Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If I close my eyes
Viewing color TV
Pictures drop out of the sky
I'm falling further than I've been
I know you're just upstairs from me
I'd rather be alone today
I sit and close my eyes
Seven stories high
I fly like I was made to
I try to visualize
A master of disguise
Where were you when I needed you?
My shadow's standing by the wall
I don't know if they can see it
Guess that's just as well for now
It seems the more I'm here
The faster that I disappear
I'm fading can you see me now?
I sit and close my eyes
Seven stories high
I fly like I was made to
Try to visualize
A master of disguise
And feel him steal your life away
But we will never die
And life will be more precious than you think
One hundred years go by
If I close my eyes or blink
I float above the streets at night
I vanish when the sun arrives
It's time to go to sleep
There's nothing here that feels like home
I really want to run away
What really makes a home?
I sit and close my eyes
Seven stories high
I fly like I was made to
I try to visualize
A master of disguise
Where were you when I needed you?
I sit and close my eyes
Seven stories high
I fly like I was made to
I try to visualize
A master of disguise
Where were you when I needed you?
I sit and close my eyes
Seven stories high
I fly like I was made to
I try to visualize
A master of disguise
Where were you when I needed you?
The lyrics to "Blink" by Love Seed Mama Jump seem to be expressing feelings of loneliness and disconnection from the world around the singer. The first verse talks about watching TV and feeling like the pictures are dropping out of the sky, as if they're not really connecting with him. He feels like he's falling further than he's ever been, and even though he knows someone is upstairs, he'd rather be alone. The second verse continues with these same themes, but also introduces the idea of being a "master of disguise," as if the singer is trying to hide his true feelings or identity from those around him. He also seems to feel like he's fading away, like he's disappearing and no one can see him. The chorus suggests that despite all of these feelings, life is still precious and valuable, even if it sometimes feels like time is flying by too quickly.
The third verse talks about the singer floating above the streets at night and then disappearing when the sun comes up, as if he's a ghost or a spirit that doesn't belong in the real world. He's looking for a home or a place where he feels like he belongs, but he can't seem to find it. The repetition of the third-verse lyrics at the end of the song emphasizes this feeling of being lost and searching for something that might not exist.
Overall, the song seems to be exploring the idea of feeling disconnected and adrift in the world, but still holding onto hope that something meaningful and worthwhile exists. The imagery of flying and disappearing suggests a desire to escape from reality or transcend it in some way, but the lyrics also suggest that true connection and belonging are hard to find and may require a masterful disguise to achieve.

One hundred years go by
Time can pass quickly when we don't pay attention
If I close my eyes
Taking time for ourselves to meditate and disconnect
Viewing color TV
The world is full of new technology and digital distractions
Pictures drop out of the sky
The constant influx of digital information can be overwhelming
I'm falling further than I've been
Losing touch with what's truly important
I know you're just upstairs from me
Our loved ones can be physically close, but emotionally distant
I'd rather be alone today
Sometimes we need space to work through our thoughts and emotions
Just sitting in my room
Taking time for self-reflection and introspection
I sit and close my eyes
Meditating to gain clarity and perspective
Seven stories high
Feeling elevated and empowered after meditating
I fly like I was made to
Feeling free and liberated from stress and anxiety
I try to visualize
Using visualization techniques to manifest our desires
A master of disguise
The ability to conceal our emotions when necessary
Where were you when I needed you?
Feeling let down by someone who didn't support us when we needed it
My shadow's standing by the wall
Our fears and doubts can loom over us
I don't know if they can see it
Being unsure if others can sense our anxieties
Guess that's just as well for now
Feeling relieved that our inner struggles are not visible to others
It seems the more I'm here
The longer we stay in our negative thought patterns, the harder it is to break free
The faster that I disappear
Spiraling into feelings of isolation and disconnection
I'm fading can you see me now?
Feeling unnoticed and invisible
But we will never die
Our memories and legacies will live on
And life will be more precious than you think
Realizing the value of life and cherishing each moment
I float above the streets at night
Feeling detached from the outside world
I vanish when the sun arrives
Hiding from the realities and pressures of everyday life
It's time to go to sleep
Looking forward to a temporary escape from our problems
There's nothing here that feels like home
Feeling disconnected from our surroundings and searching for meaning
I really want to run away
Feeling overwhelmed and seeking emotional refuge
What really makes a home?
Questioning the true meaning of belonging and comfort
