Bels
Isa Reyes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sprinkle honeycomb on top
Grass gets greener: Other side
Sunlight streamin’
Pupils glide
“Bella, I'll be right back”
Ice cream for my feverish dreams
Melting into static feedback
Snoopy come home
Don't wanna be alone
Snoopy come home...
Featured
We planted a tree
Calloused hands from
Bible study
Blue chalk all up
and down his sleeves
201st street
FDR driving
K.F.C. I’m starving...
Anns avenue
Burning my tongue
To be like you
Altoids, minty mouth
But you faded all into blue
(into blue)
Lady English Lavender
Full moon rising
Saturn turns
Making peace with
Childhood lies
Cook my green eggs
at sunrise
Don’t forget my name
Don’t forget my name
It’d be such a shame
Bella
I'll be right back
Ice cream for my
feverish dreams
Melting into
static feedback
Snoopy come home
Don't wanna be alone
Alone
Snoopy come home
(outro)
The lyrics of Isa Reyes's song "Bells" are rich with images and metaphors that suggest a wistful and dreamlike mood. The opening lines describe the act of preparing food, chopping green peppers and sprinkling honeycomb on them. This is followed by a reference to the grass getting greener on the other side, which could mean a longing for something that is out of reach or a sense of wanting to escape from the present moment. This desire for escape is reinforced by the image of sunlight streaming and the pupils gliding, as if the singer is experiencing a sense of lightness and disorientation.
The chorus of the song centers around the character of Bella, who is being addressed by the singer. The repeated phrase "Snoopy come home" suggests a yearning for companionship and a fear of being alone. The lines "Ice cream for my feverish dreams / Melting into static feedback" create a surreal and unsettling effect, as if the singer is experiencing a feverish or delirious state of mind. The final lines of the song, "Don't forget my name / It'd be such a shame," add a sense of urgency and a desire for recognition or validation.
