April
BLOWSOM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

A man driving alone, along the highway
A kid throwing a stone but in a nice way
An other situation that he finally faces
He smiles and goes away, slower than April

A man driving alone, along the highway
He's got troubles and worries, but in a nice way
That situation when the minutes are ages

He cannot get it away of his body

He turns on the radio,
Barely listening to the song
He lights up a cigarette, left arm out in the air

He turns on the radio,
Barely listening to the song
He lights up a cigarette, left arm out in the air

I'll get away with that,
Slower than April I'll give away with that, slower than April

I'll get away with that,
Slower than April I'll give away with that, slower than April

Overall Meaning

The song April by BLOWSOM is an introspective piece that speaks to the challenges and anxiety of daily life. The opening lines of the song give the listener a sense of desolation - a man driving along the highway, trying to escape his troubles. However, his journey is interrupted by a random encounter with a kid who throws a stone in a "nice way". This unexpected moment of kindness uplifts his spirit, and he continues on his way with a smile on his face.

The next verse describes the struggle of dealing with problems that seem to stretch out endlessly, where time seems to slows down as a result. The man turns on the radio to distract himself but is barely listening to the song. He lights up a cigarette, left arm out in the air, symbolizing a moment of freedom and detachment from his issues. Despite these efforts to escape, his troubles persist.

Line by Line Meaning

A man driving alone, along the highway
He's got troubles and worries, but in a nice way

A kid throwing a stone but in a nice way
A small pleasant gesture amidst his troubles

An other situation that he finally faces
Another challenge he confronts

He smiles and goes away, slower than April
He faces it with a smile and takes his time to leave, like the slow transition of seasons

He turns on the radio, Barely listening to the song
Seeking a distraction, but not fully engaged

He lights up a cigarette, left arm out in the air
Trying to find comfort in a familiar habit

I'll get away with that, Slower than April I'll give away with that, slower than April
He will overcome his problems, but it will take time and patience
