The song "The Blame" by Highway 101 is about a relationship that has come to an end and both parties are trying to find someone to blame for it. The lyrics suggest that neither the narrator nor their partner were entirely at fault, as both have their own perspectives and truths. The chorus includes the lines "It's a game that's played by fools, And it only has one rule, It's not whether you win or lose, It's how you lay the blame." This can be interpreted as a commentary on how people often try to shift blame onto others instead of taking responsibility for their own actions. Throughout the song, there are references to how the relationship was not perfect, but both parties did what they could to keep it alive. In the end, however, it becomes clear that it's time to say goodbye. Overall, "The Blame" is a melancholic song about the end of a relationship and the tendency for people to look for someone to blame instead of accepting that relationships can sometimes just come to a natural end.
