Nina Nesbitt's lyrics poignantly delve into the struggles of self-doubt and the relentless pursuit of acceptance. In "Black & Blue," she portrays the emotional toll of constantly seeking validation and battling internal demons, which often leaves her feeling bruised and exhausted. The repetitive nature of her confrontations with these issues is symbolized by the refrain "until I'm black and blue," suggesting a cycle of emotional self-harm driven by an inability to accept compliments or believe in her own worth. This track serves as both a personal confession and a universal reflection on human insecurity, highlighting our often self-destructive quest for external approval.
Black & Blue
Lyrics
Oh, I've been low, losing my head
Underwater, out of breath
Healing bruises in my brain, oh-woah
And all I want is their respect
But I can't take a compliment
It seems so stupid but I can't help it
When these voices take their effect
Oh, and I make myself, myself believe it
It's like I, I almost need it
Fighting with all of my demons, yeah
Until I'm black and blue, blue
I don't know why I do
Never seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue, blue
And maybe I'm afraid
I can't seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue
I've got these dreams, I've got this vision
My mind won't give me the permission
Whenever good things, they come a-knocking
All I want is to let them in
I try to make myself, myself believe it
God knows how, how bad I need it
'Round and 'round, I tear myself apart
Keep on going
Until I'm black and blue, blue
I don't know why I do
Never seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue, blue
And maybe I'm afraid
I can't seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue
Until I'm black and blue
'Til I'm black and blue, blue, mhm
Until I'm black and blue, blue
I don't know why I do
Never seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue, blue
And maybe I'm afraid
I can't seem to let it go
Until I'm black and blue
