Parabelle Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He shuts his eyes and picks a role
But I stole the pictures that you've taken
We'd hold still so we don't blur
All this space you're working on wrecking it
I hold my place, You're wrecking it
Be my death or be my savior
You just let me down you're on a roll
And I broke her heart in many places
You'd better slow it down so we don't blur
But all this space you're working on wrecking it
Hold my place, you're wrecking it
All this space you're working on wrecking it
I hold my place you're wrecking it
Feel the weight when it knocks you out
He lost it all when he lost his count
Just don't cause it's late and I don't want to waste my time (to be the one you are)
To feel it could never be this way
She knew who she was and she wasn't then
Just tell me it's too late cause I don't want to waste my time (to be the one you are)
With all the messes that you made
We'd never fall apart
All the words you couldn't take
You never let me down
Hold back hold back the ways
When you fall I fade
You said you'd never change you'd never change Bullshit
Who do you think you are
You played the part so well
But it's bullshit who do you think you are
My oh my
The song "Blur" by Parabelle is a heart-wrenching ballad that centers around a disconnected relationship. The opening lines, "Be a saint or be a sinner, he shuts his eyes and picks a role," suggest that there is disorientation, lack of clarity and confusion in the relationship. The lines "But I stole the pictures that you've taken, We'd hold still so we don't blur" convey a sense of nostalgia and a desire to return to simpler times. It is as if the singer is trying to hold onto some memories, something that is fading away.
The song then delves deeper into the theme of disconnection as the lines "All this space you're working on wrecking it, I hold my place, you're wrecking it" suggest frustration and agony in building an emotional connection. Furthermore, when the singer breaks the heart of their partner, there is a sense that something is beginning to fragment, and the lines "But all the space you're working on is wrecking it, hold my place, you're wrecking it" accentuate this feeling. The song portrays a battle between emotional detachment and the desire for emotional connection, conveyed through the repetition of "All this space you're working on wrecking it" which contrasts with "I hold my place, you're wrecking it."
Line by Line Meaning
Be a saint or be a sinner
Choose to be virtuous or wicked
He shuts his eyes and picks a role
He blindly chooses a character to play
But I stole the pictures that you've taken
I took the images that you have captured illegally
We'd hold still so we don't blur
We remain motionless to avoid blurring the picture
All this space you're working on wrecking it
You're ruining everything you're given
I hold my place, You're wrecking it
I stay put but you're causing chaos
Be my death or be my savior
Either kill or rescue me
You just let me down you're on a roll
You've disappointed me and you're continuing to do so
And I broke her heart in many places
I shattered her heart in various ways
You'd better slow it down so we don't blur
You should take it easy to avoid confusion or mistakes
Feel the weight when it knocks you out
The impact of the situation hits hard and knocks you down
He lost it all when he lost his count
He failed when he lost track of what he was doing
Just don't cause it's late and I don't want to waste my time (to be the one you are)
Don't start something now that it's too late and not worth my effort
To feel it could never be this way
Realizing that this situation could not have ended differently
She knew who she was and she wasn't then
She had an identity crisis and didn't know who she was
Just tell me it's too late cause I don't want to waste my time (to be the one you are)
Inform me that it's too late so I don't have to put in the time and effort to be what you want me to be
With all the messes that you made
You caused a lot of problems and mistakes
We'd never fall apart
Our relationship would never disintegrate
All the words you couldn't take
All the things you couldn't handle hearing
You never let me down
You never disappointed me
Hold back hold back the ways
Restrain yourself from your usual behavior
When you fall I fade
When you fail, I become less noticeable
You said you'd never change you'd never change Bullshit
You claimed you wouldn't change, but that's a lie
Who do you think you are
What kind of person do you believe yourself to be?
You played the part so well
You acted your role convincingly
But it's bullshit who do you think you are
But that's not who you truly are, so who do you believe yourself to be?
My oh my
An expression of surprise or shock
