Blurred Lines - Daniel Jackson

Ok, so everyone is getting all up in arms about this song, but this is how I look at it personally. Music is art. The artist may have thought A but it inspired B. Visual art works the same. When I heard this song, I didn't think sexism or treating women poorly, I saw poor Daniel, trying to convince himself to talk to Adrienne, cursing his stupid thoughts as he went through his work day. 

Here is how I see it! 

"Blurred Lines"
(feat. T.I. & Pharrell Williams)

[Intro: Pharrell]
Everybody get up
Everybody get up
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

[Verse 1: Robin Thicke]
If you can't hear what I'm trying to say

(Daniel trying to talk to Addy over her music)
If you can't read from the same page

(Daniel and Addy going over translation at center table - him teaching her Ancient)
Maybe I'm going deaf,

(Daniel starting to think she is showing interest)

Maybe I'm going blind

(Daniel seeing her looking over at him)
Maybe I'm out of my mind

(Addy leaves with Cam and Ronon, Daniel head-desk)
[Pharell:] Everybody get up

[Pre-chorus: Robin Thicke]
OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you

(Ronon comes in, but Daniel remembers night she came to his apartment)
But you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature

(Addy fighting the big boys, Daniel trying NOT to stare)
Just let me liberate you

(I can be what you want)
Hey, hey, hey
You don't need no papers

(Daniel thinking military awards like Cam has)
Hey, hey, hey
That man is not your maker

(Adrienne having a super-feminist talk with Daniel) 

[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
And that's why I'm gon' take a good girl

(He thinks because HE really know Addy, better than the others)
I know you want it

(These next few are Daniel convincing himself that she feels the same)
I know you want it
I know you want it
You're a good girl
Can't let it get past me
You're far from plastic

(Here he is thinking of her organic food obsession)
Talk about getting blasted

(And here Monty Python shots)
I hate these blurred lines

(Because she is his assistant) 
I know you want it

(Back to telling himself he can do this, she wants this...)
I know you want it
I know you want it
But you're a good girl
The way you grab me

(Addy jumping and hugging Daniel)
Must wanna get nasty

(Daniel thinking he is a complete idiot; the nasty is like you are STUPID, she's NOT like that)
Go ahead, get at me
[Pharell:] Everybody get up

[Verse 2: Robin Thicke]
What do they make dreams for
When you got them jeans on

(Addy shows up at the bar Jack has dragged him to with her friends and his jaw drops)
What do we need steam for
You the hottest bitch in this place

(And now Addy is dancing and he just wants to throw her back and kiss her or escape)
I feel so lucky
Hey, hey, hey
You wanna hug me

(She comes to the table and hugs him hello)
Hey, hey, hey
What rhymes with hug me?

(Things you will NEVER get you idiot, why are you thinking this about ADRIENNE??)
Hey, hey, hey

[Pre-chorus: Robin Thicke]

OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you

(Ronon comes in, but Daniel remembers night she came to his apartment)
But you're an animal, baby, it's in your nature

(Addy fighting the big boys, Daniel trying NOT to stare)
Just let me liberate you

(I can be what you want)
Hey, hey, hey
You don't need no papers

(Daniel thinking military awards like Cam has)
Hey, hey, hey
That man is not your maker

(Adrienne having a super-feminist talk with Daniel) 

[Chorus: Robin Thicke]

And that's why I'm gon' take a good girl

(He thinks because HE really know Addy, better than the others)
I know you want it

(These next few are Daniel convincing himself that she feels the same)
I know you want it
I know you want it
You're a good girl
Can't let it get past me
You're far from plastic

(Here he is thinking of her organic food obsession)
Talk about getting blasted

(And here Monty Python shots)
I hate these blurred lines

(Because she is his assistant) 
I know you want it

(Back to telling himself he can do this, she wants this...)
I know you want it
I know you want it
But you're a good girl
The way you grab me

(Addy jumping and hugging Daniel)
Must wanna get nasty

(Daniel thinking he is a complete idiot; the nasty is like you are STUPID, she's NOT like that)
Go ahead, get at me

[Verse 3: T.I.]
One thing I ask of you
Let me be the one you back that ass to

(Stands up at bar where she is dancing heads that direction)
Go, from Malibu, to Paris, boo

(And nope, changes direction awkwardly to walk to bathroom)
Yeah, I had a bitch, but she ain't bad as you
So hit me up when you passing through
I'll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two

(All of this in bathroom, feeling SOO guilty for having these thoughts about her, it's wrong, STOP THINKING LIKE THIS)
Swag on, even when you dress casual

I mean it's almost unbearable

(Visions of yoga pants, he has to get out of here)
Then, honey you're not there when I'm
With my foresight bitch you pay me by
Nothing like your last guy, he too square for you

(Thinking what Addy said about Joshua, Daniel thinks I am so much better than that)
He don't smack that ass and pull your hair like that

(Leaving bathroom, confidence, swagger, stupid fantasies)
So I just watch and wait for you to salute
But you didn't pick

(And Addy is dancing with Ronon)
Not many women can refuse this pimpin'

(Why can't I even LOOK at her when she's dancing - UGH)
I'm a nice guy, but don't get it if you get with me
(I think that line kinda speaks for itself...) 

[Bridge: Robin Thicke]
Shake the vibe, get down, get up
Do it like it hurt, like it hurt
What you don't like work?

(Again, I see this as dancing, up and down as low to the floor and the don't like work is Daniel cursing himself for HIM not making the effort to just go out there, sitting back at the table with Jack)

[Pre-chorus: Robin Thicke]
Baby can you breathe? I got this from Jamaica

(Lab next morning, let's pull out a cool artifact she will squee over) 
It always works for me, Dakota to Decatur, uh huh
No more pretending

(I'm gonna tell her)
Hey, hey, hey
Cause now you winning

(I can do this)
Hey, hey, hey
Here's our beginning

(Reaches out to touch her arm)
[Chorus: Robin Thicke]
I always wanted a good girl

(He is fantasizing that she leaps into his arms) 
(Pharell: Everybody get up)

(He's showing her artifact, she looked excited, he is talking himself up)
I know you want it
I know you want it
I know you want it
You're a good girl

Can't let it get past me
You're far from plastic

(Here he is thinking of her organic food obsession)
Talk about getting blasted

(And here Monty Python shots)
I hate these blurred lines

(AND HE CAN'T) 
I know you want it

(Back to telling himself he can do this, she wants this...)
I know you want it
I know you want it
But you're a good girl
The way you grab me

(Addy jumping and hugging Daniel)
Must wanna get nasty

(Daniel thinking he is a complete idiot; the nasty is like you are STUPID, she's NOT like that)
Go ahead, get at me

[Outro: Pharrell]
Everybody get up
Everybody get up

(And Daniel sits back down. He gives up. She will never love him)
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
