Bittersweet
Aviators Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bittersweet memories
Left behind
And I can't reach what I'm trying to find

Bittersweet memories
Left behind
And I can't reach what I'm trying to find
Searching for something that will break me out
But it's hard to believe when I'm filled with doubt

Bittersweet memories
Lost inside of me
I'm still trying to find an escape
Give me some space to breathe
Right now it's too dark to see
I, I, I'm going to break

Bittersweet memories
Lost inside of me
I'm still trying to find an escape
Give me some space to breathe




Right now it's too dark to see
I, I, I'm going to break

The repetition of "Bittersweet memories left behind" emphasizes the painful contrast of memories that bring happiness, yet at the same time hold us back from moving forward. The inability to "reach what I'm trying to find" and the constant searching for something to "break me out" illustrate the feeling of being trapped in a cycle of reminiscing.


The line "it's hard to believe when I'm filled with doubt" speaks to the internal struggle of trying to find hope in a difficult situation. The singer acknowledges that they are "lost inside" and need "space to breathe" and escape from the hold of these memories. The repetition of "I'm going to break" reflects the hopelessness and despair that can come with feeling trapped and unable to escape.


Overall, the lyrics convey a message of the struggle to move on from past memories and the overwhelming feeling of being stuck in them. The chorus is a plea for escape, a desire to leave behind the bittersweet memories and find a brighter future.

Recollections that evoke both pleasure and pain


Lost inside of me
Buried deep in my thoughts and emotions

This has to be the best song I've ever heard. Its so calm and collective, yet it breaks down the strongest of emotions into something more manageable it helps me through emotionally stressful times. All I have to do is play this song and everything feels easier to handle. I love this song, thank you.

This is just a beautiful song throughout... so beautiful... the instruments, your voice, and just everything just tied together to make this amazing song... beautiful work, Avi.

+D'Kind Bill` “LB” Cipher, Oh, Aviators voice is really cool! Maybe one day he starts to sound films (articulate? I don't know which word better). Oh, it will be great if we'll hear one of him songs in modern film! :-3

And sorry if I mistaken in English grammar - I am russian. But I promise that in through years I'll up my speech level.

DJ Raywave ღ

Stin Sience Indeed.
Oh, yeah, that would be very cool. I can imagine this in a movie of some kind.

And it's alright. You're good.

5 min of preparation, 2 days of work, half ass effort... y'know you could've just said "We made this song to prove we can half ass our music and still make it sound better than anything you can come up with." You guys are beyond incredible!

You know what I like about you? You cover a whole bunch of genres of music instead of sticking to one. Not only that, but you do each genre very well!

I'm typing this comment as I listen to the song for the first time because I'm pretty sure by the time the songs done I'll find it too amazing to describe with words. It's a wonderful song and as I listen it only keeps getting better as it goes along.

Just saying, you are probably my favorite musician right now! You are just talented and I love the diversity!

Chadley Greenall

Yes, i can tell you wrote the lyrics in 5 minutes, but it's still a great song!

Badger's Den

I don't know why, but I like it that way... Just feels like a single thought, an instant of emotion...
