Blame Games
Tedy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You told me "It's my way or the highway
This is not a discussion"
A man in the mirror stands beside me
And he's going on and on
I'd rather be a friend than an enemy
Now I'm getting out my head
And then without a chance it's taking over me
Crawling in an in-between
Nothing's really what it seems
Silence getting over me
I will be your fantasy

Who else would you call when there's no one to blame?
Be at ease, be at ease, blame it on me
Don't be shy, don't you cry
Blame it on me
Always cold, always far from reality

Now that you run, you feeling lonely
I thought this was your prison
You come apart, and then it's on me
How do you need my permission?
Why won't you blame your indecisions?
It's not my fault that you hold your breath in
Hold them down and then you fall apart
Run from your problems until they run you through the ground

What'd you say to my love, (???) not over me yet
I'm innocent and now it's here for me, yeah
You need me more than I need you and now we're (???)

Who else would you call when there's no one to blame?
Be at ease, be at ease, blame it on me
Don't be shy, don't you cry
Blame it all on me
Always cold, always far from reality

How do I make it through the crowd when I've fallen?
So pretty love, but it's over now that you're flying

Who else would you call when there's no one to blame?
Be at ease, be at ease, blame it on me
Don't be shy, don't you cry




Blame it on me
Always cold, always far from reality

Overall Meaning

The song "Blame Games" by Tedy talks about the complexity of relationships and how blame is often used as a coping mechanism. The lyrics discuss how one person in the relationship sets strict rules and decides the direction of their relationship, which the other person is not happy with. The line "I'd rather be a friend than an enemy" highlights the singer's willingness to compromise and make things work. However, despite all efforts, they find themselves stuck in an in-between phase, where nothing is quite what it seems and silence takes over.


The chorus "Who else would you call when there's no one to blame? Be at ease, be at ease, blame it on me. Don't be shy, don't you cry, blame it on me" emphasizes the struggles of taking responsibility in a relationship. While the singer tries to make things work, their partner doesn't take responsibility for their own indecisiveness, and instead of finding a solution together, prefers to blame the other person. The song highlights how tiring and destructive this behavior can be, leading to a sense of loneliness and feeling trapped.


Overall, "Blame Games" is a song about the struggle of communication, compromise, and taking responsibility in a relationship. It emphasizes the importance of acknowledging one's own faults and taking ownership of their actions to make things work.

@rimaalsekait

Great Song! He's like the male version of Sia, especially in the chorus when he says "Who else would you call when there's no one to blame" Reminded me of (Sia - Move Your Body) In the intro when she says "Poetry in your body you got it in every way"

@diabloaka
