| George Ezra – Blame It on Me Lyrics | 10 years ago |
|
The song is about a relationship where one person wants it to advance in some way, while the other person is more hesitant. An important thing to notice in this song is tense. The verses are past tense. The pre-chorus is in present tense. The chorus is in future tense. The first verse just describes them being interested in each other. The first pre-chorus introduces the dilemma. The second verse describes how they found love "Found ourselves some treasure" but her fear "threw it all away" The pre-chorus now makes more sense. The chorus says, very figuratively, that if things go wrong she can "blame it on me." "Dancing alone" = bad breakup / "Sun's beating down" = intense heat or fighting, bad breakup / "When I lose control" = if he messes up / "The veil's overused" = keeping secrets from each other, lose trust The pre-chorus is repeated to remind her of the request and ground the song in the present The third verse provides the clearest narrative. They found love "caught in the tide of blossom, caught in the carnival" but as things progressed "her confidence (is) forgotten" Pre-choruses and choruses are repeated to continue his argument/plea and to fill in the rest of the time in the song |
