bubble gum
Clairo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But it's obvious I wanted to
Bubble gum down my throat and it's a curse
But my luck couldn't get any worse
'Cause I swallowed the bubble gum
Oh, and these seven years will be pretty dumb
Pink flowers grow from my skin
Pepto Bismol veins and I grin
You look so nice in your shirt
It's sad because it just hurts
I'd do anything for you
But would you do that for me, too?
'Cause I swallowed the bubble gum
Oh, and these seven years will be pretty dumb
Oh, pink flowers grow from my skin
Oh, Pepto Bismol veins and I grin
Oh
Oh
Oh
In Clairo’s song “Bubble Gum”, the lyrics portray a sense of frustration and self-loathing. The song starts with an apology for not being able to kiss the person she wanted to. The lyrics later disclose that the reason behind it is the discomfort of having bubble gum stuck in her throat. The bubble gum can be symbolic of a regretful decision that she has taken, which she is having trouble digesting.
The lyrics continue with the realization that the gum she swallowed could result in seven years of bad luck. The “pink flowers growing from her skin” and “Pepto Bismol veins” depict a sense of self-disgust and the internal damage caused by her wrong decision. However, she still grins through it all, as she continues to hide behind her facade of happiness.
The song then takes a turn as she starts admiring the person she is singing to, complimenting their appearance. However, she ends the song with a plea, asking if the person she likes would do the same for her, even though she has made mistakes in the past. This could be a form of an apology and a request for forgiveness.

Sorry I didn't kiss you
I regret not kissing you
But it's obvious I wanted to
It was clear that I had the desire to kiss you
Bubble gum down my throat and it's a curse
I have an addiction to bubble gum that is causing problems
But my luck couldn't get any worse
Things can't go more wrong than they already have
'Cause I swallowed the bubble gum
I made the mistake of swallowing the bubble gum
Oh, and these seven years will be pretty dumb
It's a myth that swallowing bubble gum will stay in my stomach for seven years and make me dumb
Pink flowers grow from my skin
A metaphor for strange things happening to my body due to the bubble gum
Pepto Bismol veins and I grin
A metaphor for the color of my veins and attitude despite the strange things happening to me
You look so nice in your shirt
I find you attractive in your shirt
It's sad because it just hurts
It's painful to have feelings for you
I'd do anything for you
I am willing to do anything to make you happy
But would you do that for me, too?
I wonder if you feel the same way and would do anything for me
Oh
A vocalization of emotion
Oh
A vocalization of emotion
Oh
A vocalization of emotion

[Verse 1]
Sorry I didn't kiss you
But it's obvious I wanted to
Bubblegum down my throat and it's a curse
But my luck couldn't get any worse
[Chorus]
'Cause I swallowed the bubble gum
Oh, and these seven years will be pretty dumb
Pink flowers grow from my skin
Pepto Bismol veins and I grin
[Verse 2]
You look so nice in your shirt
It's sad because it just hurts
I'd do anything for you
But would you do that for me, too?
[Chorus]
'Cause I swallowed the bubble gum

Pink flowers grow from my skin
Pepto Bismol veins and I grin
@pxsitixn
yes im sad
- not from a girl
but from losing friends
losing my social life to a game
disappointing my family
fighting with my family
failing school
not going to school
and bad mental health
idc about any girls i just want true happiness.

Some random friendly words of hope: ( You know, you'll always regret hate comments )Just so you know, the universe and me will be supporting you (and everyone along on this journey) no matter what. If you want to have comfort and need help please NEVER be afraid to ask for help or call a crisis hotline, it could change your life for the best, happy moments may not become so rare, and there is no shame in getting help, you're not alone, it is very normal.
Every grain of grass has a purpose, and I love you, and you have people who love you. Feeling nothing is never feeling happiness or comfort or relaxation or love or pleasure, so keep on living with us in this beautiful life we are so very blessed to be in together. Be grateful for your pain, it makes you stronger.
If this message can help ANYONE, I'm so grateful I tried, either way, Much Love <3
<3 PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE TO ANYONE <3

I love how everyone is talking about their love life and life in general.
I love the fact that other people are experiencing that pain, but it's like a beautiful pain in a way. But to be completely honest, I'm so jealous.
I'm jealous that others get to feel emotions I'll probably never get.
That emotion when you feel so safe around a person
That emotion of knowing your their number one
That emotion of feeling truly loved
That emotion of anger when you get betrayed.
I find these emotions a perfect set to build up who you will be in the future
People keep talking over me or ignore me and they wonder why I dont talk much
People only come to me when they need something, or when they have no one else to talk to.
All I do all day is lay in my bed and complain that I don't have this or that, complain about how life is doing shit for me. But when I actually do something that benefits mental health, there is always that one person that tells me some shit that puts me down.
Is it me? What am I doing wrong.
And too be completely honest again. I'm typing this to get attention like the bitch I am. But at the same time I dont want it.
I'm sure some ppl will relate but they probably have it worse than I do.
But I hope you are having a great day/night.
You are so perfect if you dont think you are. You had the decency to read this and that makes you so nice. Drink water eat your food. And please stay safe.

Worst feelings in the world:
Getting ghosted
Getting blocked for no reason
Doesn’t know if you hurt someone’s feelings for not
Last good byes
Doing something one last time
You feel like crying but you can’t
Feeling like your emotional and there’s nothing inside of you
@ana-ce6ti

- blueberry
- strawberry
-sour apple
