Everyone has their own interpretation of "art"; whether that be song, dance, a painting.. whatever. As adults, we can all agree that this song is about sex. Someone has made a connection about the lyrics in this song and common phrases rapists have said to their victims before, during or after the attack. I do see a connection, I really do believe the blurred line is getting mixed messages from messages from someone and not knowing exactly.. and the song is about convincing her. I've analyized the lyrics words for word, and well here's what I interpret:
Verse 1, Robin Thicke, pretty much says if you can't tell I want you, "maybe I'm going out of my mind".
Bridge, Robin Thicke, is taking about how she's going through problems in her relationship. The woman was engaged, hanging out at the bar, and he's saying you don't him and that married life, have fun. ..with me lol
Hook, is taking about how she's a good woman wanting that married life and what not. You're a real woman, far from plastic. The woman's saying no, I don't want sex but a I want to have a good time. I hate these mixed messages. The way you dance with me says you want me. You must want me, I know you want me.
Verse 2, I think means he's saying he's allowed to at least check her out & fantasize because of how good she looks. He feels lucky she hugs him, and because she hugs him, she must want to fug him, right? Or no maybe he's just suggesting it again.
Verse 3 with TI, I think he's trying talking about what a "big balla" he is. Wants to travel the world with her, or at least from Malibu to Paris. And again he's trying to convince her to leave her square dude that wants marriage and what and hang out with a pimp like me. We can also do some anal.
Breakdown, is saying let's go so hard it hurts. Oh you like laying on your back? Cool!
Verse 4, he gets the girl. Talking about his weed from Jamaica and more traveling. And now he's happy he's got a good girl who cooks and shit.
Hey hey hey
I don't know if persistency is key in this situation, most people call that sexual harassment. Law doesn't apply to the wealthy tho
