“Blank Slate” is the fourth single from Joywave’s third album, Possession. According to lead singer Daniel Armbruster in the audio commentary accompanying the song on Spotify, “Blank Slate” is about “giving yourself over to another person […] and allowing yourself to be changed.”
[Verse 1]
Let me take a little bite
Help me zero out my mind
I've become electrified
Off onto another ride
[Chorus]
I'll be your blank slate baby, come on
I'll be your blank slate baby, come on
I'll be your blank slate baby, come on
I'll be your blank slate baby, blank slate baby
Blank slate baby, come on
[Verse 2]
Mold me to another form
Press me 'til I'm raw and sore
I'm the one you can't ignore

[Chorus]
I'll be your blank slate baby, come on
I'll be your blank slate baby, come on
I'll be your blank slate baby, come on
I'll be your blank slate baby, blank slate baby
Blank slate baby, come on

I'll be your blank slate baby, come on
I'll be your blank slate baby, blank slate baby
Blank slate baby, come on
[Outro]
Where do I go, when there's nowhere left to go?
(Baby come on)
Where do I go, when I'm lonely and lost?
What have I done, when I'm shaking without you?
(Blank slate baby, blank slate baby)
What do I do, I keep guessing
