Gray Matter
You Blew It! Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know you don't have problems
Expressing your opinions
But we could talk this through
And find something other than
Gossip for you to cling to

I'm starting to realize
That I'm wasting my time
Defending
Every single circle that you're spinning

I wouldn't say you have a way with words
Just a mastery of making sure that they're heard

You're a connoisseur of dirt
Celebrating its worth
Useless or not

I'm starting to realize
That I'm wasting my time
Defending
Every single circle that you're spinning

You can't tell me that you kiss your mother with that thing
You can't tell me that you kiss your mother with that thing

I'm starting to realize
That I'm wasting my time




Defending
Every single circle that you're spinning

Overall Meaning

In "Gray Matter," You Blew It! addresses a person who is a constant source of drama and gossip. The singer is tired of constantly defending this person and their actions, and suggests talking things out instead of clinging to the negativity. The line "I wouldn't say you have a way with words, just a mastery of making sure that they're heard" implies that the person is not skilled in communication, but rather skilled in making sure their voice is heard, even if it means spreading rumors or drama.


The chorus repeats the idea that the singer is wasting their time defending the circles of drama that the gossip-spreader is spinning. The final line "You can't tell me that you kiss your mother with that thing" is a pointed insult, suggesting that the person's words are so vile that they would not even want to come into contact with their own mother.
