Blah Blah Blah
Usken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can’t put mye yes down
You grab hold of my brain
Can’t fly away
If only you could be a song
But until now you’re just a honk
Try focus on your words
Understand your world
Talk about TV shows
Tragedy sucks my soul
Your cat, your bird and your make-up,
I really don’t care
If only you were a song
But you are just a honk
I feel your breathe freezing my skin
See your mouth shooting my mind
Your tongue moving like a snake
Your voice swirling (a)round me
So please, please, please, stop sounding like
Blah, blah, blah, blah
If only you were a song
But you are just a honk
In Usken's song "Blah Blah Blah," the lyrics convey a sense of frustration and desire for escape from a monotonous and uninteresting conversation or relationship. The singer feels overwhelmed by the presence of the other person, as indicated by the line "You grab hold of my brain." This person's words and actions are not engaging or stimulating enough, and the singer longs for them to possess the depth and emotional connection that can be found in music.
The repetition of the phrase "If only you could be a song, but until now you're just a honk" emphasizes the singer's yearning for something more meaningful from the other person. They express a desire for the person to focus on their words and try to understand their world, highlighting a lack of genuine connection or empathy in the relationship.
The lyrics further illustrate the singer's disinterest by mentioning trivial topics such as TV shows, a cat, a bird, and make-up. The mention of tragedy sucking their soul suggests that the singer longs for more profound and meaningful conversation, as these superficial topics fail to provide any fulfillment.
The metaphorical imagery in the lyrics describes the negative impact the other person's presence has on the singer. They feel suffocated and trapped, with the other person's breath freezing their skin and their voice swirling around them. The repetitive plea to stop sounding like "blah, blah, blah" reinforces the notion that the singer finds the other person's words tedious and unengaging.
Ultimately, the singer's frustration arises from a desire for a deeper, more meaningful connection that is lacking in their current relationship. They long for the other person to become someone who can evoke emotions and capture their attention like a song, rather than being uninteresting and unstimulating - a "honk."
