The song Black+Blue is about life situations in which we are very self-critical of ourselves. There is an essential difference between self-responsibility and self-criticism. Taking responsibility for our own mistakes is essential so that we can continue to develop and grow as a person. However, self-criticism can be destructive. These are the moments when we are allowed to ask ourselves: Would our best friend treat us the way we treat ourselves? Sometimes we can forgive ourselves and say: I did the best I could on that day or in that situation. And I forgive myself for the rest. And sometimes you simply can't help the situation you're in. Because the other person has completely different goals to you. "You're black and I'm blue. We'll never get what is true"
