I Blame Myself Lyrics

Is it because you know my name?
Or is it because you saw my face on the cover?
Either way it's all the same,
It's like talking to a friend who's trying to be your lover

Underneath it all
I know it's not your fault
That you don't understand
I blame myself

How could you know what it feels like to fight the hounds of hell?
You think you know me so well
How could you know what it feels like to be outside yourself?
You think you know me so well
I just want you to realize I blame, I blame myself
Blame, blame, blame, myself
I blame, I blame, blame myself,
For my reputation

I'm just a face without a choice
I trust you'd never like to guess what I think above the shoulders
10 years old without a voice
I feel like nothing's really changed
Now we're just a little older

Underneath it all
I know it's not your fault
That you don't understand
I blame myself

How could you know what it feels like to fight the hounds of hell?
You think you know me so well
How could you know what it feels like to be outside yourself?
You think you know me so well
I just want you to realize I blame, I blame myself
Blame, blame, blame, myself
I blame, I blame, blame myself,
For my reputation

I blame myself (x4)

How could you know what it feels like to fight the hounds of hell?
You think you know me so well
How could you know what it feels like to be outside yourself?
You think you know me so well
I just want you to realize I blame, I blame myself
Blame, blame, blame, myself
I blame, I blame, blame myself,
For my reputation

i think its about fame

how in fame you're kind of looked at as an image or character rather than the person you really are, and people assume they know you.

Cover art for I Blame Myself lyrics by Sky Ferreira

regretting a failed relationship,

blaming herself cause the other won't accept any blame on their part.

Cover art for I Blame Myself lyrics by Sky Ferreira

I think it has something to do with the fact that she was sexually assaulted when she was younger and she "stopped talking" to people. The sexual assault really affected her and now even as an adult she has a hard time developing relationships with people and she's basically telling them "It's not you, it's me" and she blames herself for it.

I also think it's about that he is not understanding that she was depressed and has been abused when she was younger and this is ruining her life still.

Is it because you know my name? Or is it because you saw my face on the cover? Either way it's all the same It's like talking to a friend who's trying to be your lover

  • it's just fake, a friend who is trying to be your lover is never gonna be completely honest to you and they will just tell you what they think you want to hear.

Underneath it all I know it's not your fault That you don't understand I blame myself

  • she is depressed and he doesn't get it

How could you know what it feels like to fight the hounds of hell?

  • depression, the horrible voices in your mind telling you that you suck

How could you know what it feels like to be outside yourself?

  • when you are really low people often have out of body experiences You think you know me so well
  • but this is a part of her that he just cannot understand

I just want you to realize I blame, I blame myself I blame myself for my reputation

  • she has been feeling cheap because of what happened

I'm just a face without a choice

  • she had no say in what happened A choice you'd never like to guess what I think above the shoulders
  • nobody cares about anything else than her body 10 years old without a voice I feel like nothing's really changed
  • people still treat her like a sexual object Now I'm just a little older
