Roy Blair Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Made in your God's image
Tippytoe to the window screen
I can hear you breathe
Last year got us feelin' mental
Out of reach, up on my sleeve
Had something for you since middle school
Think that'll stay
But I forgot amongst the smoke
We could lay down on the floor
If you're bored
Grab a hold of
The fact that we're grown
And we still don't got homes
Got you, but I still feel alone
Feeling close
I got, I got
I got, I got
What you wanted
And I
And I love it
Take it
Away
And I, and I
Take it, Take it
If we can be, we should be
If we were meant to
We could make it work
You're into zodiacs
So what's mine?
Tell me and kiss me at the same time
So I put that out
But I sat back down when you came out
Hey
We're both fucked up
But you know that
Livin' it up
Before we throw caps
And never talk again once you leave in June
Plus I go to summer camp in Kansas soon
And like they did in '92
We fell in love
Burnt the posters
Mixtapes that you gave me
All the memories we share, kinda hazy
Still got marks and bites on my lip
Whatever you on just don't trip
Whatever you want
When whatever is wrong
You can...
Talk to those other boys but don't talk first
Selfish, plus I know that my words hurt, hey
Sorry's hard, when all this weight's involved
This is the part I hate the most
Fuck that, I hate it all
And I
And I love it
Take it
Away
And I, and I
Take it, take it
Don't leave
The lyrics to Roy Blair's song Thunder reflect on the feeling of being lost, but hoping for more out of life. The opening line, "Who said we had limits? Please," sets the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer questions the idea of having boundaries in life. The line "Made in your God's image" also adds to this idea of questioning traditional beliefs and structures.

They reminisce on the past, as well as the present, acknowledging that they both have their own issues but find comfort in each other's presence.

The song ends with the plea "Don't leave," showcasing the singer's fear of losing the person they care about. Overall, Thunder is a song that reflects on the idea of being lost, but finding comfort in those closest to us.
