Robin Thicke – Blurred Lines lyrics

I must say, in a world of freedom of choice, freedom of speech, freedom of marital gender and every other freedom we can conjure up, this is most disturbing. A man writes a song and people want to chastise it with their personal belief as to what its lyrics convey. It's all a matter of interpretation. Only the man who wrote the song, truly, knows that answer. There has been a history of lewd lyrics shrouded by funky rhythms since long before the days of Tone-Loc (Funky Cold Madina), Aerosmith (Ten Inch Record, Lord of the Thighs) Alice Cooper (Feed My Frankenstine) and so on it goes. I can decipher, No, hidden messages of rape nor forced s** against anyone's will, just desire and wanton of a man vs girl/woman scenario. A song where the intentions may or may not be welcomed by her virtu's judgements; be it by alcohol impairments or fear of moral and ethical repercussions. I do, however, agree that the rap lines are vulgar and could have been just as impacting by using a better choice of vocabulary that could offer a bit more obscurity to the filth riddling desires of this protagonist's nefarious frame of mind and its fantasies. I also agree that, yes, we need to proffer more focus on them, that make censoring and other important decisions impacting this country's moral & family values and no, this particular song is not going to make or break those values; but it might be something to take into account the next time we as a country try to sit down and point fingers at what stems our societies disgruntled youth to the point of defiance, drugs and suicides; why they can't find lasting relationships with those they offered to spend there lives with and finally, what really tears brother from brother, country from countrymen and parents from child. Those are the "Blurred Lines" we should be reading between. Not the lewd lyrics of song; that, by the way, shouldn't even be available to children who could be induced or converted by its foul message. Pay attention to what your child is listening to, this you can take some form of immediate control over. You can't control the music, you can only hope to keep it out of your child's reach (Kinda like poison chemicals under your sink). As for the rest of the world, they are going to continue doing as they please. If it is unappealing to you, turn off the radio and listen to your own choice of music and let the others do the same, without prejudice. It's what our country's founded on as long as it remains "Our Country".
I look forward to a better peace, real peace. I just hope to be here when it arrives.

In addendum, I will add, reading the previous postings, written by the women of our time, I'd say that anyone concerned about offending our Lady's of America/World. Relax, they are out on the dance floors, across the country, shaking their hips and pressing their bottoms against the same type individuals that write these songs. Obviously, they find no disdaining afflictions made in the lyrics. So who are you defending? If they exist (other than Sept 26th, Unregistered) let them make protest to their cause. To many "Once in a While" Knights of Valiance in this world and not many lady's looking to be saved. They have proven to be amenable in unchaste situations, especially where intoxicants and scruples are accepted diversions from virtue. Remember, morals come afforded, not, to what greed. Can supply.

This song isn't anything like got to give it up. Blurred lines can get your behind sent to the morgue. Gotta give it up said nothig about no blurred lines, smackin' that a*, pulling hair, or givin' you something big enough to tear your a* in two. Now, every woman has a right to make her choices. But, every woman also has the right to say what she thinks of those choices.

This song is about drugging and raping a girl.
It's that simple. Anybody who finds this song acceptable has obviously never been raped or molested, nor do they know (or think they know
) anybody that has been. Think, people! The stuff in this song actually happens, frequently. How do you think the family of an Indian woman who has been gang-raped to death would feel about this? It's literally adding an insult to injury.

Whatever you think, the verdict is in, Pharrel and Alan stole the song from Marvin Gaye. Maybe Alan thinks that doesn't matter because he was out of his mind on drugs at the time. Yeah, great folks.

My question is this.
If this song was not sung by Robin Thicke, but another singer/rapper say. Jay-Z. Chris Brown. Would it have been given the same scrutiny and criticism that is being handed down to Robin Thicke?
I believe some folks are trying to make this more than it is because it's a catchy & hip song that is degrading to women being sung by a Caucasian singer.
Where is all the criticism, etc. For the same if not worse songs by jaz-Z, Chris Brown, and other non-Caucasian singers/rappers?
Maybe it's a sense of double standards and hypocrisy?
The song is a adult fun for those who take it for what it is, but there are those who feel they need to read into more than it is.
Our society is in a moral social decline, but singling out this song is not the core/major/primary reason.

My interpretation of this song is a description of the ultimate hook-up, while intoxicated. (Blurred lines) -We all know that being inebriated can often release or trigger repressed sexual inhibitions. He then goes on to explain that he is captivated while heavily intoxicated by a "good girl" or innocent girl who is very attractive to him sexually. Innocent; yet s***. She secretly wants to have s** with him just as much as he does. But, pretends to not want it because she is a "good/ladly like girl" so random s** is not appropriate-but she secretly really wants it. That is what he says when he tells her in her ear "I KNOW YOU WANT IT" in reference to the D#$% and at this point, he has no problem with giving it to her. He is not just talking about reg s**, he is talking about wild/rough beastly type of s**. Even says he will put it in other forbidden places. When he said he learned that from Jamaica. It makes me believe that he is talking about the sexual stamina and performance of Jamaican men. #Neverhadtheexperience of a Jamaican, but I have heard that they are great lovers.

Most people will think this is nuts, but to me the song is clearly referencing the fallen angels mating with women. I don't understand the "far from plastic" line, unless our technology is far more advanced than we know and somewhere transhumanism already exists, complete with plastic robot females. If so, that theory helps to support the idea of blurred lines, as in the fem-bots so resemble real women that the fallen ones are getting confused and restless bc while they are under strict orders not to touch human women, there's no such rule with fem-bots. Final thought - Pharrell's verse "what do they make dreams for, when you got them jeans on?" try substituting "GENES" for "jeans" and you get a different meaning.

My interpretation of the song is that it's total filth. It's not music in any sense of the word, but porn with a tune. Ask yourself. Is this what you want your kids listening to? It's no talent crap like this that is helping to destroy the young people in this country.

Yeah I don't have a problem with Thicke's parts. From what I read he's basically saying "Hey the guy you're with is an asshole. So why don't you come with me, I'll treat you right and I'll even give you better sex." and "the blurred lines" I think refers to when is it okay to sleep with another guy's girl? Does him being an a* to her make it okay? So not the most progressive lyrics but I don't think it intends to sound rapish or for the male to sound completely dominating. But then the T. I. Part. Makes him sound a bit like the guy that Thicke is trying to get her away from. Plus obligatory "my penis is huge" and "I'm a pimp" lyrics.

Just heard the song for the 1st time last week at a club in Mexico and have been enthralled since. I looked it up when I got back to the States ----- with my 5 year old. I am listening to the lyrics, watching the video and I am horrified that I have my son there. The song is awesome but the lyrics were a shocker. I hadn't heard of Robin Thick (but knew Alan had to be his dad). I loved Marvin Gaye's song (one of my all time favorites) and I analyzed them both. I am not seeing it. Blurred Lines is original, no doubt, and frickin' cool. Both songs evoke strong emotions; Gaye's is very sensual and Thick's is highly sexual. I am almost 50 and away from bars and radios (obviously) but this song made me feel like I am missing out. I love the contrived wholesomeness of the dancers and the overall coolness of every aspect of the song! The lyrics are just a sign of this generation and the music is extremely sexual - this being no exception.

Are you kidding me, already? Demeaning? Give me a break! It's a fun and s*** song! If you don't think for a minute that a woman loves to be the "hottest bitch in this place", you are truly effed up and have no life! I am a mom of twenty-something sons! Don't you have anything better to do with your life than to sit around and try to "analyze" a song! Jfc. It's a song! Pick on your government if you want to get analytical!

Oh come on. They were all flirting that is it. Get over it. Woman are sexual beings whether you want to think so or not. I saw no indication of the men considering using violence toward the woman. Were they hoping to persuade them. Ah yeah. In case you've never been on a date that is how it works. If no one ever tried to make the move there would be no matches. I see nothing but charm and good looks and dancing making the girls confused. And they are confused because we have to play a game also which is a silly ritual.

Loved it first time I heard it, and I'm 75 years old. Always loved a song with a good beat and cleverly done. It makes me want to get up and dance and rock. Downloaded mp3 format to cds and play it on my stereo at home and also blast it in my Lexus. Once the melody gets in your head, it's hard to dismiss it. I have no problem with the lyrics; I just like the song and the beat. Also, Robin isn't hard to look at!

I love this song, sorry I don't raise my kids or live my life to the lyrics of a song, to those that do feel this song and others like it may be he cause of the moral decline in this country, sorry again your wrong, its people that leave society's beliefs to raise their kids what actors and singer do, what they read in the papers instead of being a parent, your the problem. Now I'm going to listen to some musc!
