The Blow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
you don't have to do that
rub up on me boy i love you enough
you won't loose my love just back away
you don't have to do that
rub up on me boy i love you enough
you won't loose my love just back away
take a weapon and aim it at someone you'll stay with
i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
watch where you point with that true love
fair: aim it up above
the sky is the only target wide enough to take it
when you aim at a heart all you ever seem to do it break it
i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
i guess i'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you
we know what not to expect it's about what we'll get out of you
The Blow's song "The Long List of Girls" is a complex take on unrequited love and the toxic patterns that can develop in these types of relationships. The repetition of the line "I guess I'm on the long list of girls who love the shit out of you" highlights the singer's awareness that they are not the only one who has fallen for this person, and they understand that they should not expect much from their love interest. The lyrics also suggest that this person may be using their charm and sexuality to keep multiple people interested without committing to any of them, which is expressed in the lines "you don't have to do that / rub up on me boy I love you enough / you won't lose my love just back away."
The song also points out how easily love can become a weapon, and encourages the singer to be cautious with their affections. The lyrics "watch where you point with that true love / fair: aim it up above / the sky is the only target wide enough to take it / when you aim at a heart all you ever seem to do it break it" suggest that love can be destructive, and it is important to aim it at something that can handle it.
Overall, "The Long List of Girls" is a thoughtful exploration of love, power dynamics, and self-care, as the singer navigates their feelings for someone who seems unable or unwilling to reciprocate their affection.
