Black is the New Blonde
Megosh Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Callused tips softly close the lover's eyes; it leaves no room for future.
He chokes her.
This glimpse of gold is far from over.
And I feel like I can touch the sky when I feel you cold like a dead whore.
And I swear I've heard this once before.
And I swear I heard this once...(before)
One little girl that you throw in this world is gunna be, eventually, exampled to blue.
I'll lick your wounds to save the taste of you, and I'll be your friend but in the end, the price paid is you.
Light the torches quickly!
We will try to find the body engaged in foul play last night!
And I feel like I can touch the sky when I feel you cold like a dead whore.
And I swear I've heard this once before.
And I swear I heard this once...(before)
One little girl that you throw in this world is gunna be, eventually, exampled to blue.
I'll lick your wounds to save the taste of you, and I'll be your friend but in the end, the price paid is you.
The price paid is you.
It's obvious, you will find candles held to the sky.
This turbulence we're heading towards...
Clouded eyes flood the morgue.
And I swear I've heard this once before.
And I swear I've heard this once...(before)
One little girl that you throw in this world is gunna be, eventually, exampled to blue.
I'll lick your wounds to save the taste of you, and I'll be your friend but in the end, the price paid is you.
The price paid is you.
The price paid is you.
The price paid is you.
The price paid is you.
The price paid is you.
The price paid is you.




The price paid is you.
The price paid is you.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Megosh's song Black is the New Blonde can be interpreted in various ways depending on one's perspective. It seems to describe a toxic and abusive relationship where the singer is enraptured by their partner's darkness and dysfunctionality. The line "Callused tips softly close the lover's eyes; it leaves no room for future" could suggest that the singer's affection may be contributing to the destructive behavior of their partner. The next line, "He chokes her" explicitly references physical abuse, implying that the singer is in a cycle of harm and addiction with their partner.


The line "One little girl that you throw in this world is gunna be, eventually, exampled to blue" could signify the tragic transference of trauma from one generation to another. The singer takes responsibility for their own participation in the relationship by saying "the price paid is you," suggesting that they are aware their involvement is harmful and may ultimately come at their own expense. The song concludes with the repeated refrain "The price paid is you," which may suggest the inevitability of suffering and damage from toxic relationships, reinforcing the warning to steer clear of such partnerships.
