Blurry
Mary Halvorson Jessica Pavone Devin Hoff & Ches Smith Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And everyone's so fake
And everybody's empty
And everything is so messed up
Pre-occupied without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl
You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I'll protect you
From all of the obscene
I wonder what you're doing
Imagine where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well ya shoved it in my face
This pain you gave to me
Can you take it all away
Can you take it all away
Well ya shoved it in my face
Everyone is changing
There's none left that's real
To make up your own ending
And let me know just how you feel
Cause I am lost without you
I cannot live at all
My whole world surrounds you
I stumble then I crawl
You could be my someone
You could be my scene
You know that I will save you
From all of the unclean
I wonder what you're doing
I wonder where you are
There's oceans in between us
But that's not very far
Nobody told me what you thought
Nobody told me what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Told you when to runaway
Nobody told you where to hide
Nobody told you what to say
Everyone showed you where to turn
Showed you when to runaway
This pain you gave to me
You take it all
You take it all away
This pain you gave to me
You take it all away
This pain you gave to me
Take it all away
This pain you gave to me
The lyrics of Mary Halvorson Jessica Pavone Devin Hoff & Ches Smith's song "Blurry" express a sense of disillusionment and disconnection in the modern world. The first verse describes the singer's perception of everything and everyone as being "blurry" and "fake," and emphasizes their own feelings of emptiness and confusion. The second verse shifts to a more personal focus, where the singer longs for the company and protection of someone else, presumably a romantic interest. The chorus repeats the phrase "can you take it all away," which may refer to the singer's desire to escape from their own feelings of sadness and confusion.
The third verse again examines the broader state of the world, with the singer lamenting that "there's none left that's real" and urging the listener to "make up your own ending" and express their true feelings. The final repetition of "this pain you gave to me, you take it all away" seems to suggest that the singer is looking to this other person for both salvation and accountability.
Overall, the song paints a picture of a world in which truth and connection are hard to come by, and expresses a longing for a deeper sense of meaning and belonging.
