About This Track

'Blur' by Thrice is an alternative track from the album 'Major/Minor' (2011). The lyrics move through a jittery, night-bound sense of being trapped in shifting perception: a shuttered moment that will not close, light trails that mislead, and an approaching nemesis framed as something inevitable. There is a recurring pressure in the lines, culminating in the fear of destruction, as the speaker asks why it is happening at all. Musically, the writing matches that fractured, anxious logic, with images that feel half-recognised and urgently unresolved.

"Blur" is a track by Thrice, from the album Major/Minor, released 5th September 2011. The track is 3:14 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 2 articles about Thrice.

Lyrics

Blur

The shutter opens but never closes,
I am waylaid, in light trails.
Endless moments, overlaid and burned across
A melee of scattered braille.

This image is a night-terror transforming
Without the hope of morning.
My nemesis, I feel it coming for me, and it means to destroy me.

Why does this keep happening?
I try to close my eyes but I can't blink
And the world keeps moving on, black and white blur into one.

Hieroglyphic, indecipherable, opaque; the meaning escapes me.
Dry and lidless, are my eyes.
Asleep, awake - reading the slurred debris.

This image is a night-terror transforming
Without the hope of morning.
My nemesis, I feel it coming for me, and it means to destroy me.

Why does this keep happening?
I try to close my eyes but I can't blink
And the world keeps moving on, black and white blur into.

Why does this keep happening?
I try to close my eyes but I can't blink
And the world keeps moving on, black and white blur into one.
