Jorja Smith - Blue Lights (Lyrics on screen)
Музыка
“Blue Lights” is the debut single from Jorja Smith. The song is questioning why you should have a guilty conscience if you’ve done nothing wrong, with a fitting sample from Dizzee Rascal’s 2007 single “Sirens” from his Maths + English album.

It’s crazy how much this song relates to what’s going on to all these recent events yet was just an emotional bop a few years ago

Put headphones in and..... "Gun crime into your right ear" actually goes into your right ear. And "drugs and violence into your left ear" also goes into your left side!!!

@@leodouble3922 it does have a deep meaning. For example, in the beginning you think that she is talking about police stopping black people, which is a common thing, but that they shouldn't fear if they did nothing wrong, but, in the end, you figure it out that she was just trying to calm him down so he wouldn't be catched by the crime he did commit, by pretending that he didn't do nothing wrong by not running when the police passes by. Also explains the first verses, it's not that she wants peace with the police like you're supposed to think, but rather that she will be trying to convince the friend that the police isn't a threat if he acts like it isn't and he will get away with the crime. But she also questions if by doing that it doesn't make her an Accomplice, that's why she says "I've got blood on my hands but I don't know where's it's from"

Real, bro
My interpretation of the lyrics is that music has such a great affect on you and in this case she's referring to *young black boys* and how they listen to *violence* and *drugs* and *subconsciously get involved with crime by listening to it*. So it starts of with a boy who listen to crime but is still a "good boy" and then ends with him in trouble by the law..
I am pretty sure this song is more than just about having a guilty conscience. I feel like its about young black men who live with the everyday fear of being stopped by police for a crime they haven't even committed. And its like they live with this guilty conscience because they are put in the stereotypical light of being convicts.

From the genius website an annotation written by Jorja herself: It was based on two of my friends. One of them left their bag at my house, and I’m really nosey. I found their bag, and I picked it up, and it was really light. I was like, “What the hell has he got in this bag, like this? Why’s he got this pouch and there’s nothing in there?” I opened it, there was a knife in there. I pulled out this knife. It was a flicky one, and I got it out as well. I was like, “Fuck.” I actually had to put it back. “I don’t want to tell my dad, I don’t want to tell anyone about this knife.” Then I put it back in the bag. Gave him his bag back and never told him. Then I wrote this song, because I was just imagining if he did something. He’s the tall black shadow. I’m writing this song in perspective of his friend, who I was. His character was a person that wouldn’t have done anything, because they’re such good friends. I was just imagining if, the tall black shadow did do something, and he was asking his friend like, “Can you cover up what I’ve done? You’ve got my back in all of this?” That’s how I wrote the story.

here's what Jorja herself wrote on genius.com for those who say don't make this about color: "Part of my coursework was to do a little documentary, and I was looking at police versus grime music. I just went around interviewing kids at school asking them what they thought of the police. These little boys, mostly it was black kids that I was interviewing, people of color. Well everyone, but that was the main focus. These 11-year-olds, I was like, “Oh, what do you think of the police?” They were like, “Fuck the police! I hate them.” And I was like, “What have you done?” “Nothing, but I hate them,” And I was like, “It’s sad,” you know?It’s sad because we’re kind of … It’s instilled in us to have, well fear the police. You know? That’s what I was writing the song about. And it was about walking around with this guilty conscience, even though you haven’t done anything wrong."

"Not long ago you were miming to the "Shook Ones", Now this really is part two cause you're the shook one" Holy shit that's a good lyric...no such thing as halfway crooks.

This is deep . It's a song to the generation now 13 to 20 years old getting mixed up with the wrong lot . Pier pressure from ya so called mate s who think it's great to be a knife carrier and you the 1 who ends up taking the blame coz you made a pact. It's deep and something of a message . Keep safe kids for yaself and ya family.... And don't run if ya did nothing wrong ...blue lights ...are not bad .
