blinding lights is a song about the experience of being a fanyu lmaoooo in this essay i will

(aka it’s 2 am why not give you my own personal exegesis)

“I've been on my own for long enough”
yuzuru drought part i: plz come back from the war

“Maybe you can show me how to love, maybe”
how to love the hellsport that is fs, which we all know is a big maybe

“I'm going through withdrawals”
yuzuru drought part ii: we have seen some shit and it’s time for a rewatch party

“You don't even have to do too much”
literally just five seconds of white wall please anything PLZ

“I'm blinded by the lights”
show lights obviously

“No, I can't sleep until I feel your touch”
here feel your touch is clearly a metaphor for the way it feels when yuzuru appears on your screen, electrifying as physical, tangible touch

“when I'm like this, you're the one I trust”
judges who there’s only yuzuru

“The city's cold and empty (oh)”
bc it’s ass o’clock and you’re up watching fs

“No one's around to judge me (oh)”
bc everyone else is asleep

“I can't see clearly when you're gone”
yuzuru drought part iii: back with a vengeance

repeat refrain etc bc being fanyu is a cycle of purest pleasure and the depths of pain
