Blonde
Maisie Peters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(I'll fuck your life up as a blonde)
Nothin' more frightenin' than a woman scorned
And a box of bleach
You said I'd never change, I bet you never thought
I'd go so extreme
I lost a couple of inches and then a couple more
Baby, if you thought that I was trouble
Then you're gonna hate what's comin' next
Kinda like your worst nightmare but double
Is that an angel? No, it's your ex
Remember how you screwed up when I was a brunette?
I don't think you knew just what you'd done
Whoa, I'll fuck your life up as a blonde
(I'll fuck your life up as a blonde)
I'm goin' Gwen Stefani, I'm goin' Courtney Love
I'm heading out of your league
I'm gonna make your friends say, "Man, you messed that up"
And I would have to agree
Had some emotional baggage, oh, but I cut it off
Starting with you and every single thing you said to me
Ending with you just wanna talk but I'm just never free
Baby, if you thought that I was trouble
Then you're gonna hate what's comin' next
Kinda like your worst nightmare but double
Is that an angel? No, it's your ex
Remember how you screwed up when I was a brunette?
I don't think you knew just what you'd done
Whoa, I'll fuck your life up as a blonde
(I'll fuck your life up as a blonde)
La-la-la-la-la

I'll fuck your life up as a blonde (boy, you're super upset)
I'll fuck your life up as a blonde
You'll rue the day you did me wrong
I'll put your name in all my songs
I'll twist the knife, it will be fun
Fuckin' your life up
Baby, if you thought that I was trouble
Then you're gonna hate what's comin' next
Kinda like your worst nightmare but double
Is that an angel? No, it's your ex (it's your ex)
Remember how you screwed up when I was a brunette?

The song "Blonde" by Maisie Peters is a fierce and empowering anthem about transformation and revenge. The lyrics depict a woman who has decided to reinvent herself, both physically and emotionally, after a painful breakup. She boldly declares that she will "fuck your life up as a blonde," symbolizing her newfound confidence and power.
The opening line, "I'll fuck your life up as a blonde," sets the tone for the rest of the song. The singer is reclaiming her independence and asserting her ability to wreak havoc on her ex-partner's life. The use of the word "blonde" acts as a metaphor for her new identity, representing a change that will surprise and unsettle him.
Throughout the song, Maisie refers to the man's past mistakes and how he underestimated the consequences of his actions. She mentions her previous hair color as a brunette, suggesting that he failed to recognize her worth and the extent of her strength. Now, as a blonde, she plans to exceed his expectations and prove that she is more than capable of moving on and thriving without him.
The lyrics also make references to influential female artists like Gwen Stefani and Courtney Love, who are known for their empowerment and fearlessness. By aligning herself with these iconic figures, Maisie portrays herself as a force to be reckoned with, ready to take on the world and make her ex-regret his choices.
Overall, "Blonde" is a bold and unapologetic anthem of female empowerment and revenge. It celebrates the power of personal transformation and sends a message that women are capable of turning their pain into strength and resilience.
