Blurry
Toxic Moxie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

My mind will treat me in one of two ways
One of two ways
One of two ways
Cage me up or set me free
What'll it be, what'll it be

The state will treat me in just one way
Just one way

Just one way
Tie me down until I speak
How will I pay
How will I pay

It's too much for me to take
(It's too much for me to take)
It's too much for me to take
(It's too much for me to take)
It's too much for me to take
(It's too much for me to take)
It's too much for me to take!

Hear the sirens comin' for me
My chariot glides on an asphalt sea
Hear the sirens comin' for me
Normalcy is gonna set me free

Hey! Hey! Hey!

Hear the sirens comin' for me
My chariot glides on an asphalt sea

The jury will tell me in so many ways
So many ways
So many ways
No one's from here you're a thief and a spy
Where will stay
Where can you stay

It's too much for me to take
It's too much for me to take
It's too much for me to take
It's too much for me to take!

Hear the sirens comin' for me
My chariot glides on an asphalt sea
Hear the sirens comin' for me
Normalcy is gonna set me free

Hey!
Get a job!
What?

Hear the sirens comin' for me
My chariot glides on an asphalt sea
Hear the sirens comin' for me
Normalcy is gonna set me free

Come on and cage me
Feed and enrage me
Come on and cage me
Feed and enrage me
Come on and cage me
Feed and enrage me

Come on and cage me
Feed and enrage me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Toxic Moxie's song "Blurry" talk about the different ways in which our minds, the state, and the jury can treat us. The singer talks about feeling trapped and uncertain about their fate. The lyrics question whether they will be caged or set free, and how they will pay for their actions. The chorus repeatedly states "It's too much for me to take," conveying a sense of overwhelm and uncertainty. The lyrics then shift into a scene where the singer hears sirens coming for them, and their "chariot glides on an asphalt sea." The song ends with the singer repeatedly asking to be caged, fed, and enraged by the world around them.

Overall, the song seems to be about the feeling of being trapped and uncertain about what the future holds. The references to being tied down or caged hint at a loss of freedom, while the questioning of how to pay feels like an acknowledgement of something heavy and burdensome. The final plea to be caged, fed, and enraged is hard to interpret, but it may be a desire to be fully immersed in life, even if it's overwhelming and intense.
