Hidden Meaning :Blurred Lines

Blurred Lines the song was the number one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 this year. It is also the number one song /hit on the Billboard R&B Songs and has been one of Robin_Thicke’s most successful songs in his career. Blurred Lines is known worldwide, but did you know what the song really means? Well urbandictionary.com  meaning of blurred lines is the "lines" are personal boundaries a person designates in his/her sexual life. They usually only appear "blurred" to men who don't comprehend the meaning of "no." That’s a shocker right! You would never think a song that has a catchy beat could mean something that most people don’t think about when they are singing the song.

             I really did like this song I thought it was a good song because of its catchy tone and how it sound easy-going and laid-back can make the song get stuck in your head easily. Liking the song or not, it’s about rape. Rape is a very teaching subject to talk about; most times you don’t hear people talking about rap as an east-going or laid black topic in any situation. The fact that most people think of Blurred Lines as jest a song and will listened to it multiple times and never once think about rape or harassment means that most people don’t care what they listen to and don’t know. The fact that Robbin Thicke's intentions to write a song about rape and all of these people hearing it on the radio are singing it unaware that what they are describing is rape, which is the hidden meaning behind this song that most people don’t know when they are sing it.  

            There are many opinions of what people think about blurred lines, some people interpret the meaning of the song completely different and think that it’s not about rap. When I first heard it and was surprised when I read some of the reviews that talked about rape. I usually have no problem jumping in a conversation about woman's rights and rape culture, but I genuinely think the meaning of this song has been misconstrued. It bothers me how we can have real issues concerning gender discrimination and rape out there, yet this song is the primary focus of discuss. Whether this song is about rape, date rape or sexual harassment, I will leave to your interpretations but honestly I find this song gross, disgusting, degrading, belittling and low to women and if people can’t understand that, then they must not care how women should be treated.
