The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Whiteout" by the artist "Warpaint"

Contents

In Warpaint's song "Whiteout," the lyrical protagonist addresses someone seemingly in a state of confusion or denial. The line "And you wouldn't know it, but you're in top form" drips with sarcasm, hinting that this person is actually grappling with internal struggles.

The lyrics paint a picture of a complex relationship where one person yearns to break through the other's emotional barriers, craving intimacy and understanding ("You know I wanna know the secrets of your heart"). However, they are met with resistance, walls erected by the subject of their affection ("You lock it up so easily").

The recurring phrase "Not today" speaks to an unwillingness to be vulnerable, a desire to postpone a crucial conversation. The protagonist feels helpless, witnessing the object of their affection evade honesty ("You say something. Though I'm transparent to you...").

"Whiteout" itself serves as a metaphor for emotional unavailability. The "whited-out" state represents a blankness, where true feelings remain hidden. The repetition of this phrase, along with "You want this," emphasizes the deliberate nature of this closure. The lyrical protagonist recognizes that the other person chooses to remain in this "whited-out" state, perhaps even suffering from it themselves.

You wouldn't know it but you're really in your prime

Is there a question not answered in your mind?

Before you know the answer, you're running out of time

There is an anchor, I'll put it in my heart

You gotta do what's right for you, and do it from the start

Even when they wonder, they wonder where you are

You know what I want to know the secrets in your heart

And now I keep it low

There's just some things I don't need to know

Don't go tonight

Don't go tonight

You ought to know it, but it happens all the time

Is there a question? You treat it like a crime

And in the walls you weaken, and out the walls you climb

Oh, why is it not all that it seems?

You lock it up so easily

I wanna believe all that you say to me. Ooooh

You know what I want to rip it open and pull it out

And we'll take it low

There's just some things I don't need to know

Don't go tonight

Don't go tonight

White out

You want it, you want it out

White out

You want it, you want it all out

White out

You want it, you wanted it out

White out

Tonight

Don't go tonight

You're talking, though I'm transparent for you,

You like on my skin, always I skip

If you're feeling, touch you

I'm focused on the run

I'm focused on the run

But I feel like you wanted me to
