Blackbear examines the wreckage of a relationship that both parties have already abandoned. The song moves between his perspective and that of Mike Posner, each voice circling the same dead centre: the mutual recognition that this is over. Where Blackbear catches his partner in small lies, Posner takes the longer view, tracing the relationship from its beginning in an L.A. bar through the slow corrosion of ego and ambition. The chorus strips away pretence with its title refrain, a statement so plain it almost sounds like relief. The track builds its case through specificity and restraint. Posner's verse carries the weight, moving from immediate hurt to a kind of weary clarity about how good memories become the worst ones when the person attached to them is gone. There is no grand gesture here, no melodrama; instead, a pair of men acknowledging that sometimes the obvious truth is the only honest thing left to say.
"obvious" is a track by blackbear, from the album drink bleach, released 17th June 2016. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 1 article about blackbear.
