Blow Out
Suburban Riot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Well you can use it in the courts
He feels like getting condemned, for acts of sex with young men
Oh, regardless of how painfully short
But we are singing, there ain't too much on our minds
The back is brimming, with people having a time
I think there's trouble coming ashore
But that's a passing fad, us kids aren't sad anymore
We are on the verge
Of the blow out of all time
But that is none of our concern
Hey__
Your daddy says he's never met me
And that my, reputation is such
That he don't want me around, taking you on the town
Well I can promise that we did touch
(Thank you, sir!)
Can you drive me, drive me home?
My girl is drunk, and I'm alone
The road is further than before
A miracle to touch my door
We have forgotten, forgotten how to dance
A cardboard cutout, in an awkward stance
Delivering a message to you
To shake your ass ma'am, when you are in my room!
The Suburban Riot's song Blow Out discusses youth culture and the party scene. The song implies that the youth do not worry about anything and simply like to have a good time. They do things on impulse and only live in the moment without any concern for the future. This is shown in the lines "We are on the verge of the blow out of all time," which could be interpreted as a potentially dangerous and destructive event, but the young people do not care. They are not concerned about consequences and just want to enjoy themselves. The lyrics imply that this lack of concern could be problematic, as there are signs of instability and trouble brewing. However, the youth remain indifferent, as is demonstrated in the line "But that's a passing fad, us kids aren't sad anymore."
Moreover, the song touches on the topic of consent in sexual relationships. It highlights that younger people are often taken advantage of and pressured into sexual acts by the older people who should know better. This is shown in the line "He feels like getting condemned, for acts of sex with young men, oh regardless of how painfully short." It suggests that the consequences of this traumatic experience can be long-lasting and can go undetected for years.
In conclusion, the Suburban Riot's song Blow Out is an ode to youth culture, but also highlights the struggles that young people face. Against the backdrop of a wild party scene, the song touches on topics of consent and the consequences of youth living without considering the potential danger of their actions.

@zen-kun
remember spamming this back in the day thinking it's just some cool music video showing how crazy jinx is for no reason at all, but watching arcane and knowing her backstory now hits different
@HNblaz
Wow it's weird to see you here
@leodrk3955
yo zen long time to see
@Neochill1992
After watching the end of arcane, this music video not only hit different, but also makes so much more sense
@ThuongNguyen-lq6oo

@TheFabulousRBK
Let's be real here; we see she's off within the first minute of Arcane.

2013: "Meet Jinx! The chaotic comedy in its finest."
2022: "She is the embodiment of consequences created by corrupted society."

2013: I'm a freaking force of nature!
2022: I am a monument to all of your sins
@TinkerGrape
No she is pure evil by nature
@ShadzeriosFIN
@@TinkerGrape It depends which version of Jinx you are referring to. League of Legends Jinx is still a ball of chaotic comedy, but the Arcane Jinx was someone who witnessed terror and abuse during her childhood, which caused her to become what LoL Jinx is because she lead herself to believe that she is not worthy of being rescued. Thus fully favoring and adoring the no longer stable version that she is. This song resembles both versions of Jinx in a sense. The childish mind that Jinx has, the chaos and destruction that she has been surrounded for all her life and becoming that very destruction that threatens the many lives in the present time. "Powder" was Jinx's previous name before she gave it away. Whenever Jinx refers to "Pow Pow" she means her younger-self who would have never agreed or wanted such destruction to happen.
