Blackout
Ro Danishei Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stop, I am fallin off the edge
Don't come closer
Keep your hands above your head
Or I'll pull the trigger
Don't you take another step
Or you'll regret it
In a minute you'll be dead
And I'll forget it

You reached for the door
I said no don't go
You talk real slow
But I can't hear you
The walls spinnin' into dust
Hit the floor
3,2,1 I'm gone out of control

Hush, hush, you're sayin too much
Just shut up, shut up, and love me up
Hush, hush, there's no need to rush
I just wanna touch one last time
Before you go, and I blackout
And I blackout, and I blackout
And I blackout

Wait, I am feelin good today
Don't mess it up
You keep getting in the way
Of my livin' up
Don't look at me like you
Think I'm insane
Step aside or you'll see me
Really crazy

You reached for the door
I said no don't go
You talk real slow
But I can't hear you
The walls spinnin' into dust
Hit the floor
3,2,1 I'm gone out of control

Hush, hush, you're sayin' too much
Just shut up, shut up, and love me up
Hush, hush, there's no need to rush
I just wanna touch one last time
Before you go, and I blackout
And I blackout, and I blackout
And I blackout

I open my eyes
I look at the floor
What have I done?
I'm not even sure

Hush, hush, you're sayin' too much
Just shut up, shut up, and love me up
Hush, hush, there's no need to rush
I just wanna touch one last time
Before you go, and I blackout
And I blackout, and I blackout
And I blackout

Hush, hush, you're sayin too much
Just shut up, shut up, and love me up
Hush, hush, there's no need to rush
I just wanna touch one last time
Before you go, and I blackout
And I blackout, and I blackout
And I blackout

Hush, hush, you're sayin too much
Just shut up, shut up, and love me up
Hush, hush, there's no need to rush
I just wanna touch one last time
Before you go, and I blackout




And I blackout, and I blackout
And I blackout

Overall Meaning

The song Blackout by Ro Danishei is a tale of passion and obsession that leads to self-destructive behavior. The persona in the song warns his/her lover to stay away or face the consequences of a trigger-pulled death. The singer seems to be struggling with inner demons and is on the verge of a breakdown, as he/she pleads with the love interest to love them one last time before they go and the persona blacks out. The verse "Wait, I am feeling good today, don't mess it up, you keep getting in the way" suggests that the persona is aware that their state of mind is fragile, and the presence of the lover is a hindrance.


The chorus reveals the persona's desperation for one final moment of love and passion before their inevitable blackout. The repetitions of "Hush, hush you're saying too much, just shut up, shut up and love me up" convey the urgency of the persona's request. The repeated "and I blackout" is a symbolic representation of the persona's loss of control and descent into madness, and the repetition of this phrase emphasizes how much the persona is struggling to maintain a grip on reality.
