Blank Page
Rockabye Baby! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴

Blank page is all the rage

Never meant to say anything

In bed I was half dead

Tired of dreaming of rest
Got dressed drove the state line

Looking for you at the Five And Dime

Stop sign told me stay at home

Told me you were not alone

Blank page was all the rage

Never meant to hurt anyone

In bed I was half dead

Tired of dreaming of rest

You haven't changed

You're still the same

May you rise as you fall

You were easy, you are forgotten

You are the ways of my mistakes

I catch the rainfall

Through the leaking roof

That you had left behind

You remind me

Of that leak in my soul

The rain falls

My friends call

Leaking rain on the phone

Take a day plant some trees

May they shade you from me

May your children play beneath

Blank page was all the rage

Never meant to say anything

In bed I was half dead

Tired of dreaming of rest

Got dressed drove the state line

Looking for you at the five and dime

But there I was picking pieces up

You are a ghost of my indecision





No more little girl

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rockabye Baby!'s song "Blank Page" paint a picture of emotional turmoil and introspection. The repeated mention of a "blank page" being "all the rage" suggests a sense of emptiness or a fresh start, a clean slate where something new can be written or created. The singer seems to be in a state of numbness or stagnation, feeling disconnected and uninspired in their current life circumstances.


The lines "Never meant to say anything / In bed I was half dead / Tired of dreaming of rest" convey a sense of lost communication and emotional exhaustion. The singer is struggling with their own thoughts and feelings, feeling trapped in a cycle of unfulfilled dreams and desires for peace. The imagery of driving to the state line and searching for someone at the Five And Dime implies a desperate search for connection or meaning.


As the lyrics progress, the tone shifts to a sense of resignation and acceptance. The singer acknowledges that things haven't changed and the other person remains the same, leading to feelings of being forgotten and making mistakes. The rain imagery symbolizes emotional weight and leakage, with the leak in the roof mirroring the singer's own emotional vulnerability and pain.


The lyrics also touch on themes of letting go and moving on. The singer wishes for peace and growth for the other person, hoping that planting trees may provide a place for their descendants to find happiness and shelter. The repetition of the phrase "Blank page was all the rage" reinforces the idea of starting anew and leaving behind past hurts and regrets, ultimately finding closure and forgiveness in the face of unresolved emotions.


In the final lines, the singer confronts the ghost of their own indecision and the memories of a past relationship that no longer holds power over them. The imagery of a "leaking rain on the phone" suggests a distorted connection and communication breakdown, highlighting the distance and emotional barriers that have emerged. The song ends with a sense of finality and growth, with the singer moving forward from their past and embracing the unknown future.
