Figure It Out
Royal Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just a kid like me
Trying to cut some teeth
Trying to figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
I'm still in here trying to figure it out
Getting hard to sleep
Blood is in my dreams
Love is killing me
Trying to figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
I'm still in here trying to figure it out
I let it go, 'cause I won't see you later
And we're not allowed to talk it out
I said I'd go, put myself on show
But I'm still trying to figure it out
I broke my shoe, tripped and fell on you
But you didn't know I planned it out
I said I'd go, yeah, I won't see you later
And we're not allowed to figure it out, oh
Nothing here to see
Just a kid like me
Trying to cut some teeth
Trying to figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
I'm still in here trying to figure it out
I let it go, 'cause I won't see you later
And we're not allowed to talk it out
I said I'd go, put myself on show
But I'm still trying to figure it out
I broke my shoe, tripped and fell on you
But you didn't know I planned it out
I said I'd go, yeah I won't see you later
And we're not allowed to figure it out
Yeah
The lyrics to Royal Blood's "Figure It Out" are about a person who is struggling to navigate their feelings for someone they are infatuated with. The song begins with a sense of aimlessness and yearning, as the singer describes themselves as "just a kid" trying to "cut some teeth" and figure out their place in the world. Throughout the song, the singer expresses their frustration with the object of their affection, describing them as a source of both heartache and inspiration. The lyrics touch on themes like unrequited love, longing, and the struggle to find one's identity and purpose.
The chorus is particularly powerful, repeating the phrase "trying to figure it out" as a kind of mantra. The singer has no clear solution to their dilemma, but they are committed to working through their struggles and finding a way forward. Ultimately, the song suggests that love and self-discovery are complex processes that require patience, resilience, and a willingness to face one's fears and uncertainties.

Nothing here to see
Just a kid like me
Trying to cuss and see
Trying to figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
And still I'm here
Trying to figure it out
Getting hard to sleep
But it is in my dreams
But it's killing me
To try and figure it out
Nothing better to do
When I'm stuck on you
And still I'm here
Trying to figure it out
I'll let it go 'cause I won't see you later
And I'm not allowed to talk it out
I said I'll come, I'll promise I won't show
But I see you trying to figure it out
I promise you, I'll take a bet on you
But you didn't know I planned it out
I said I'll go, yeah, I won't see you later
And I'm not allowed to figure it out
Nothing here to see

@LordofDiamondsMetal
Unbelieveable that the guitar is actually a bass...
@wkcchampion
Listen to Think for yourself by The Beatles. This kind of fuzz bass sound was already with us in 1965.
@andreasua5719
Actually is both things, he made this special instrument which plays as the same time bass and guitar, plus he sings...

@@andreasua5719 The bass isn't special, he just uses a combination of pedals, splitters and guitar - as well as - bass amps.
