The Bloom
Wesley Joseph Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′m out here searchin' for somethin′, searchin' for somethin' (ah)
And Lord knows you′re glowin′, Lord knows you're glowin′ (ah)
Summer passed me by, but I'm still standin′ outside
Wool over my eyes, but you're glowin′ so, I know where I'm goin', ooh huh

Drown in my potion (soakin′) walkin′ 'round my ends (strollin′)
Cuttin' my loose ends, knowin′ I'm sunk in the deep end (throwin′)
Stones at your window sill, (I'm in) something I can feel (I'm in)
Something I can feel and I′ve missed that natural feel




It suited me (when you′re asleep) in those dreams (facin' the sea)
I can′t leave (until you see) what this could be (oh-oh-yeah)
So, I'm stood outside your room, the same way that I used to do
I made somethin′, you should see the view
We could take something on a trip for two

But nothin' feel the same way it (used to do, it used to do, it used to do)
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
But I′ll wait for you, stay for you, 'til the flowers bloom

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Wesley Joseph's song "The Bloom" depict a person who is in search of something and finds comfort in the glow of another individual. The first few lines convey a sense of longing and searching for meaning in one's life. The singer acknowledges the attractiveness of the person they are talking about, emphasizing the fact that their glow is noticeable and has an effect on them. It seems like the singer is lost and unsure of their direction in life, with the summer passing them by, but they are still standing outside.


The second verse talks about how the singer is indulging in their sorrows by drowning in their potion and walking around their ends. They describe themselves as having cut loose ends and as someone who is in deep water, struggling to keep their head above the surface. The singer throws stones at the person's window sill, hoping to catch their attention. They want to feel something real, something they have missed for a long time, and they see that in the person they are singing about.


The chorus repeats the idea that nothing feels the same as it used to, but the singer will wait for the person until the flowers bloom. This line implies that the singer will wait patiently for the person to come around and start a new chapter with them. The underlying message of the song is that life is like a bloom; it has a time and a season, and if we are patient and cling on to hope, good things will come our way.
