Song Meaning of “I Blame You” by Plug In Stereo
“I Blame You” by Plug In Stereo tells the story of a tumultuous relationship where one partner blames the other for the state of their relationship. The opening line “You were never mine to take” sets the tone for the song, indicating that the two were never truly in sync. The singer expresses guilt at their unwillingness to admit their true feelings and the fear that if they ever do, it may just be too late.
The chorus deals with the realization that responsibility for the downfall of the relationship lies with both of them and it’s not just one person’s fault. It’s hard for them to look beyond the blame they lay on each other and acknowledge their own actions that caused the tension.
The lyrics become increasingly desperate as the singer pleads to find a way to mend the broken relationship, even though they know it’s too late and that their actions have ultimately resulted in the downfall of the relationship. The song ends on a hopeful note, with the singer admitting they have to let go and accepting that that it’s time for them to move on.
