Bittersweet & Blue
Above & Beyond Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Kept in a box of memories
And when I feel breakable
I take it out
And look into your eyes
Hoping you'd tell me what do to
Give me some guidance
Your voice was strong, and beautiful and wise
Look at the cloudless day
You captured me smiling
A fantasy life, you say
Is our silver lining
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Oh, oh
Bittersweet and blue
Maybe I left it late to say
You were my hero
Rising the falling sun
Whistling Elvis, striding through the snow
The thought of a weekend far away
Lasting forever
But when the day had come
The final bell concealed a body blow
Look at me now, you'd say
Drowning in sorrow
I guess I got lost today
But there's always tomorrow
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
This is your life
Bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue
This is your life, dreams can come true
But like your memories of me
They'll be bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Bittersweet and blue
Oh, oh
Bittersweet and blue
In Above & Beyond's song "Bittersweet & Blue," the lyrics describe a person who is reminiscing about a loved one who has passed away. The person keeps a photograph of the loved one in a box of memories and takes it out when feeling vulnerable, looking into their eyes for guidance. The loved one's voice was "strong, and beautiful and wise," and they provided comfort whenever the person needed it. The chorus states that dreams can come true, but memories of the loved one will always be bittersweet and blue. The second verse mentions missing the loved one and the thought of a weekend far away lasting forever, but the final bell conceals a body blow. The loved one was the person's hero, whistling Elvis and striding through the snow. The last chorus repeats that dreams can come true, but memories of the loved one will always be bittersweet and blue.

I've got a photograph of you
I have a physical reminder of our past relationship
Kept in a box of memories
I keep it stored away with my other sentimental items
And when I feel breakable
When my emotions are too much to handle
I take it out
I retrieve the photograph and look at it
And look into your eyes
I see your face and remember our time together
Hoping you'd tell me what do to
I wish I could hear your advice and guidance again
Give me some guidance
I need direction and support
Always unshakeable
You were always confident and unwavering
Your voice was strong, and beautiful and wise
I remember the way you spoke to me, with such grace and intelligence
Look at the cloudless day
Remember when we were happy and carefree
You captured me smiling
You took a photo of me when I was happy
A fantasy life, you say
You used to talk about a perfect life for us
Is our silver lining
But that dream has a positive aspect, even if it's not real
Maybe I left it late to say
Perhaps I didn't express my love and appreciation for you soon enough
You were my hero
You were inspiring and admirable to me
Rising the falling sun
You faced challenges with bravery and hope
Whistling Elvis, striding through the snow
You had an energetic and joyful spirit
The thought of a weekend far away
We used to imagine escaping from our problems for a while
Lasting forever
It felt like that happiness could never end
But when the day had come
When reality caught up with us
The final bell concealed a body blow
Something painful and unexpected happened that changed everything
Look at me now, you'd say
If you could see me now
Drowning in sorrow
I am struggling to cope with life without you
I guess I got lost today
I feel directionless and adrift
But there's always tomorrow
I hold onto the hope for a better future
This is your life, dreams can come true
Life is full of possibilities and opportunities
But like your memories of me
But just like our relationship and memories
They'll be bittersweet and blue
There will be a mixture of happy and sad feelings associated with them
Bittersweet and blue
These feelings are complex and difficult to describe
This is your life
Ultimately, life is what you make of it

Reason of why music saved my life.
You saved me from my own self.
Saved me from my dark pas and dark hour.
Saved me since my dad died.
Saved me when ex wife cheated on me.
Saved me on going full berserk on drugs.
Saved me on from myself.
Saved me. Simply as that

The rise and the fall of sun
We sing always striding through the snow

The final bow and seal bottom floor
Look at me now, you'd say
Drowning in sorrow

This song needs to be heard. This song is an absolute masterpiece, and it’s one of the best lyrics Tony has written. Everything from Richard Bedfords beautiful voice to the subtle and brilliant chord progression. This is one of the greatest Above & Beyond tracks ever released. I hope the club mix and remixes do it justice
@summerisonthursday5239
I know ❤
@victorerickson9770
update: club mix is a banger. It's an {oviously) different vibe from this origianal, but they keep the vocals intact. It still tugs my heartstrings given the context. No one prepares you for losing a parent.
@felixbarragan5968
I know it's not just me... BUT THIS SONG IN A DARK ROOM AND PLAYING IT AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE... STRAIGHT TEARS!!?!?
Please tell me I'm not the only one..
