Blurred Lines
Verse 1
Tough spot
They’re callin him a liar
Distraught
They say he was a father
Flip a coin, head or tails, what would you believe?
Too much
But way too little time to grieve
Maybe i don't even know what’s real or fake
How can i be like this when there’s lives at stake?
Gotta make a change one day at a time
Gotta put in the work to do what’s right
Pre-chorus:
It’s normal to act and feel this way
When differences split us, night and day
But hear me say
Hook:
There is so much to learn
There are voices to be heard
I don’t know about you
But i won't wait til lines are blurred
Trust me when i say
The whole world is what we make
So I don't know about you
But i won't wait til lines are blurred, the lines are blurred
Verse 2:
Skyscrapers
Are shinin' up above on high
Green paper
Is rushin, they don’t even try
but it’s black on the ground and everything beneath
Like bright lights
Shine only when it’s dark outside
“Blurred Lines” is a statement about observing from different perspectives and standing up for what we think is right. A lot of times, information is filtered by windows that make us only see the beauty in our society and not the grays that lie within: the conflicts between social economic classes and the choices between right and wrong. The protests in Hong Kong these years as well as the Black Lives Matter movement in the US/all around the world has inspired me to write this song to empower those to take action and believe in the power of being united for the same cause. Instead of arguing for what I think is right or wrong, I want to instead encourage everyone to stand against what they think is wrong and fight for what they believe is right to shape the community that they want to live in. In the song, I highlight that this back and forth between right and wrong is difficult, but it is nevertheless important because we are the ones who are responsible and in control to improve the world that we live in.
