If you can't read from the same page
Maybe I'm going deaf
(Hey, hey, hey)
Maybe I'm going blind
(Hey, hey, hey)
Maybe I'm out of my mind
OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you
But you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature
(Everybody get up)
Just let me liberate you
(Hey, hey, hey)
You don't need no papers
(Hey, hey, hey)
That man is not your maker
(Hey, hey, hey)
And that's why I'm gon' take a good girl
(Everybody get up)
I know you want it
(I know you want it)
I know you want it
You're a good girl
Can't let it get past me
You're far from plastic
Talk about getting blasted
I hate these blurred lines
I know you want it
(I know you want it)
I know you want it
But you're a good girl
The way you grab me
Must wanna get nasty
Go ahead, get at me
(Everybody get up)
What do they make dreams for
When you got them jeans on
What do we need steam for
You the hottest bitch in this place
I feel so lucky
(Hey, hey, hey)
You wanna hug me
(Hey, hey, hey)
What rhymes with hug me?
(Hey, hey, hey)
OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you
But you're an animal, baby it's in your nature
(Everybody get up)
Just let me liberate you
(Hey, hey, hey)
You don't need no papers
(Hey, hey, hey)
That man is not your maker
(Hey, hey, hey)
And that's why I'm gon' take a good girl
I know you want it
(I know you want it)
I know you want it
You're a good girl
The way you grab me
Must wanna get nasty
Go ahead, get at me
Hey, hey, hey
(Hey, hey, hey)
Hey, hey, hey
The lyrics of Max Schneider's song Blurred Lines depict the stereotypes of male dominance and female submission, and the blurred lines between empowerment and objectification. The chorus itself represents the blurred lines of consent, as the singer assumes that a "good girl" wants to engage in sexual activities with him. Throughout the song, he tries to "liberate" and "domesticate" the woman, as if her autonomy and agency do not exist. By using the line "you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature," he reduces her to a primal instinct, denying her human dignity and respect. Moreover, the singer breaks the fourth wall by asking "What rhymes with hug me?" and implies that the audience should pay attention to his sexual advances.
The verses convey the singer's realization that he might not perceive reality accurately. He says, "Maybe I'm going deaf/Maybe I'm going blind/Maybe I'm out of my mind," suggesting that his mental state is not stable. The lyrics also question the social construct of marriage and commitment, as the woman does not need "no papers," and the man is "not your maker." They imply that relationships can be purely sexual, without any emotional bond.
