Blunderbuss Lyrics

Cover art for Blunderbuss lyrics by Jack White

I think it's about two people who are having an affair that's turning into real love, and everybody knows and obviously see it as immoral. He's asking why it has to be such a bad thing- why is it a crime to feed their need for each other?

My Interpretation

Interesting take, but no. This song is about Jack White's brother that passed away. He's spoken of it in interviews. When he was younger, the brother would take him to the movies. Nothing too mystical about this song, just talking about his relationship with his brother, but in a very introspective and very beautiful way.

No, Vortex is definitely right. The album Blunderbuss is dedicated to his brother, this song is obviously about an affair.
