The song Blanket Me by Hundred Waters is about a person who realizes that they have been unfairly blaming someone else for their problems when, in reality, that person is their comfort and support. The lyrics "Shame on you, shame on me, I blindly blame you when truly, you're my blanket, you're my skin, you're everything within" show that the narrator is coming to terms with their own faults and recognizing the importance of the other person in their life. The metaphor of a blanket is used to represent the security and comfort that the other person provides. The line "you're my guardian, I'm your sail, a boat in your harbor, gone under, capsized and sinking" paints a picture of a person who is lost and struggling, but is saved by the other person who serves as their protector and guide. Despite realizing how important the other person is, the narrator still finds it difficult to let go of their anger and resentment. The repeated line "So I try to shed you, it's not that easy" shows that the narrator wants to move on, but is still struggling to forgive and forget. In the end, the narrator pleads with the other person to continue to be their "blanket" and to provide the love and support they need to keep going.
