Draw Blank
Soa Lyrics

The lyrics of SOA's song Draw Blank communicate a sense of frustration with people who try to decode the singer's emotions and thoughts. The first two lines suggest that the singer feels that others believe that honesty is an integral part of relationships, but the singer wishes to keep their feelings private. The chorus, "You'll never know, I'll never show, I'm not a book you can read" emphasizes this decision to maintain a certain level of privacy around one's innermost thoughts and feelings. The second verse reiterates the singer's desire to keep their thoughts and emotions hidden, again implying that they do not wish to share their deep feelings with others who may not respect their need for privacy. In the final verse, the lyrics touch upon other's perception of the singer's personality and behavior, and how the singer wishes to stay true to themselves, even if others do not understand them.

Overall, the song Draw Blank is expressing a sense of frustration with the pressure people feel to be open and honest about their feelings, and the expectations of others that they can read people like books. The lyrics emphasize the singer's belief that they are entitled to keep certain aspects of their personality to themselves, and they do not wish to be scrutinized and judged by others.
