Bülow Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Till I hear the tone ring
Volume up, I don't want to miss a damn thing
Last night, I fucked up
Hope to God it ain't no last fight
Can't sleep, yes it's gonna be a long night
See you twirling in my sundress
Did no one ever tell you?
Your eyes match the sunset
I'm running to find you
But you know where I left you
Did no one ever tell you?
Your eyes match the sunset
I see the horizon still
The sun from the sky
And it burns my eyes
But I can't look away
It's in my heart like a grain of sand
Let it slip through your fingers
I can't look away
Mmmm
The song Sundress by Bülow is a sad, introspective reflection on a failed relationship. The opening lines indicate a sense of restlessness and anxiety, with the singer waiting anxiously for a phone call. Volume up, the singer is determined not to miss out on any information or opportunity to reconnect with the person on the other end of the line. However, the next lines suggest that their attempt at reconciliation may have failed, with the singer expressing regret for their actions, fearful that they may have damaged the relationship beyond repair. Unable to sleep, there is a sense of despair that permeates the lyrics.
In the chorus, Bülow compares the beauty of the person she is missing to the natural beauty of a sunset. She sees the person twirling in a sundress and describes their eyes as matching the sunset. The nostalgia and longing in this imagery convey a deep emotional attachment to the person she misses. The chorus also suggests that Bülow is searching for the person. She runs to find them but knows where she left them, which could be interpreted as a literal sense of direction or a metaphorical sense of a point in their relationship where things went awry.
Overall, the song Sundress by Bülow is a poignant portrayal of heartbreak and regret, with a bittersweet sense of hope and longing woven throughout.

I’ve been a fan since the first time I saw Not a Love Song and have played that video hundreds of times - and listen to everything she releases. This girl is singlehandedly bringing good pop back. And now we find out she can SING!!!!! 🎉🎊💥🎉 Food for you Megan for evolving and (literally) finding your own voice, trying something new. I still love the euro-pop Bulow but love this folksy Bulow too. 💕
