"The Narcissist" lyrics

"The Narcissist"

Looked in the mirror
So many people standing there
I walked towards them
Into the floodlights
I heard no echo (no echo)
There was distortion everywhere (everywhere)
I found my ego (my ego)
I felt rebuttal standing there
Found my transcendence (transcendence)
It played in mono painted blue (painted blue)
You were the pirot (the pirot)
I was the dark room (the dark room)

I'm going to shine a light in your eyes (in your eyes)
You'll probably shine it back on me
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs

I saw the solstice (the solstice)
The service station on the road (on the road)
I took the acid (the acid)
Under the white horses (the road)
My heart it quickened (it quickened)
I could not tear myself away (myself away)
Became addiction (addiction)
If you see darkness look away (look away)

I'm going to shine a light in your eyes (look away)
You will probably shine it back on me
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs

Oh glorious world (glorious)
Oh potent waves valleys gone wild (potent waves)
Connect us to love (us to love)
And keep us peaceful for a while (for a while)

I'm going to shine a light in your eyes (for a while)
You will probably shine it back on me (for a while)
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs

I'm a shine a light in your eyes (in your eyes, in your eyes)
You will probably shine it back on me (in your eyes)
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs
But I won't fall this time
With Godspeed I'll heed the signs

"The Narcissist" is the lead single from the Blur's album "The Ballad Of Darren", the band's first full-length in eight years following 2015's "The Magic Whip". The song was premiered on the 19th of May, 2023. Damon Albarn told about their new music, "This is an aftershock record, reflection and comment on where we find ourselves now."
Graham Coxon commented on this track, "The older and madder we get, it becomes more essential that what we play is loaded with the right emotion and intention. Sometimes just a riff doesn't do the job."
