Blink
U.V.U.K Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And the sin is back in medicine.
Beltway goes around.
Monuments are thinking.
Beltway burns down.
Monuments are sinking.
And it's on.
We'll sleep on ice when this bed is on fire.
We'll sleep all nice but instead of retire,
We'll kick those lights out.
This party is on fire.
We'll kick these lights out.
Your party is on fire.
The lyrics of U.V.U.K's song Blink appears to be a commentary on the state of society and the chaos that surrounds us. The opening lines "Inside the convex lens we all crash new jet planes tonight" could be interpreted as a metaphor for the world we live in. The convex lens can be seen as a representation of the magnified view we have of our world and the crashing jet planes could symbolize the constant turmoil and destruction that we experience. The next line "And the sin is back in medicine" suggests that even in the field that is supposed to bring healing and comfort, corruption and wrongdoing can still exist.
The chorus "We'll sleep on ice when this bed is on fire. We'll sleep all nice but instead of retire, We'll kick those lights out. This party is on fire" seems to convey a sense of rebellion and a desire to act in the face of chaos. The metaphor of sleeping on ice while the bed is on fire indicates a sense of detachment from the chaos, yet the next line "We'll sleep all nice but instead of retire" implies that there is still work to be done. The line "We'll kick those lights out" suggests confrontation with the system that perpetuates chaos, which is dubbed as a fire.

I can't wait for Cascadas version. Big mistake on you Robbins Entertainment for releasing them from their recording contract... Especially after their smash hit Evacuate The Dancefloor
