Now all these people wanna keep on taking pieces of me
They take away everything, had everything that I needed
They held me down, let me drown
They spit me out right through the teeth
I can't pretend, ash in the wind, won't blow again
It was a breeze for you
These hurricanes inside of my brain, let it rain
Can't look away, you love the pain, you love the pain
Watchin' me bleed
You cut me down on my knees
No matter what you believe
I think we both can agree
That you can't blame it on me, yeah
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault
Blame it on me
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault
I couldn't breathe
Almost lost myself, couldn't stop myself, I did it all
You can't blame it on me
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault
Everyday's the same, yeah, I just watch 'em go
As I scrape away through the impossible
Yeah, I played the game but it was all for show
Tryna find my way, I nearly lost it though
Now I see dead people, most have no faith
Where did the time go? A watch with no face
They hit the ceiling but my roof likes space
I took my chances so won't you
Blame it on me
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault
Blame it on me, ayy
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault
I couldn't breathe
Almost lost myself, couldn't stop myself, I did it all
You can't blame it on me
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault, not my fault
It's all my fault that I'm addicted to the clothes
It's all my fault, I paid the cost, yeah
It's all my fault that I ain't givin' up my soul
It's all my fault
Watchin' me bleed
You cut me down on my knees
No matter what you believe
I think we both can agree
That you can't blame it on me
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault
Blame it on me
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault
I couldn't breathe
Almost lost myself, couldn't stop myself I did it all
You can't blame it on me, ayy
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault
Blame it on me, yeah
It's not my fault, it's not my fault, it's not my fault
The lyrics to Post Malone's song Blame It on Me express the frustration and exhaustion of being constantly criticized and judged by others, while also acknowledging the role that the singer has played in his own struggles. The first verse paints a picture of someone who used to consider themselves free, but now feels constantly burdened by the expectations and demands of others. These people have taken everything away from the singer, leaving him feeling hopeless and powerless. The line "ash in the wind, won't blow again" suggests a sense of finality and permanence to the singer's struggles.
The chorus, with its repeated refrain of "blame it on me," is a defiant rejection of the idea that the singer is solely responsible for his own struggles. He acknowledges that he has made mistakes and has a role in his own difficulties, but refuses to accept all of the blame. The line "almost lost myself, couldn't stop myself, I did it all" suggests a feeling of being out of control and unable to cope, but also a sense of agency - the singer made his own choices, but they were shaped and influenced by others.
The second verse continues to explore these themes, with the singer reflecting on the emptiness and futility of his life. He feels like he's going through the motions, playing a role that doesn't really represent who he is or what he wants. The image of a watch with no face suggests a sense of timelessness, as if the singer is trapped in a perpetual present. The final lines of the song offer a sense of empowerment and defiance, with the singer refusing to accept blame for everything. He recognizes that some things are out of his control, but is determined not to be defined by his struggles.
Overall, Blame It on Me is a song about the difficulty of navigating the expectations and demands of others, while also trying to stay true to oneself. It's a powerful statement of defiance and empowerment, urging listeners to take control of their own lives and not let others hold them back.
