Blue In The Dark
Bearings Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wonder, tell me do you wonder?
Tell me, do you let your mind
Slip away at night?
Underneath this feeling, a reminder
I've been tryna find some time here
See what you're all about

Ooh, bring me home
And ooh, decompose
Right here (Right here)
Forever

Take my heart and make it feel
Take my soul and make it real
'Cause I was bright, yeah, I was pale and blue
Starry-eyed by every thought of you
Take my hand before I go
Take it all 'cause I'm a ghost
Wish it was something that I said to you
But some rest is all I need

But I'm afraid, afraid of the light
I'm feeling the pain, the worst of my life
And worms will eat my flesh
'Til earth is all that's left
Bleeding and breathing

Take my heart and make it feel
Take my soul and make it real
'Cause I was bright, yeah, I was pale and blue
Starry-eyed by every thought of you
Take my hand before I go
Take it all 'cause I'm a ghost
Wish it was something that I said to you
But some rest is all I need

The brightest blue in the dark
I feel it falling apart
The brightest blue in the dark
I feel it falling apart

Take my heart and make it feel
Take my soul and make it real
'Cause I was bright, yeah, I was pale and blue
Starry-eyed by every thought of you
Take my hand before I go
Take it all 'cause I'm a ghost




Wish it was something that I said to you
But I know that some rest is all I need

Whenever I have friends over I play music in the living room off of my tv, and this song NEVER fails to make everyone stop what they're doing, snap their heads around to the tv to see its name, and save it for themselves no matter their genre interests. That's how you know a song is just different.

@hbade

That modulation during the bridge makes that somber feeling hit hard. Little details like that are the difference between a good song and a GREAT song.

@CharlieBees

That modulation. My heart sinks into my guts.

@stevesoo8484

Wait, he's a literal ghost and all he was waiting for before he went was to make sure she was OK?!? Oh, man, this song is too amazing.

@trendom8164

I never thought of it that way and when he is sitting at the bus stop he can’t leave because he needs to know that she is fine

@trendom8164

At the start when he is looking at his watch he is waiting for her

@deedercakes

😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

@llary

Is it just me or is there something really nostalgic about this song. Reminds me of early 2000s driving around the mountains listening to Frou Frou and Senses Fail.

@brendanfisher

How has your life panned out since then?

@tylerdaniels2758

You know, I got into a car accident a few months ago and totalled my car. It really hurts me hard but I love this music video. And I've listened to this song over and over again
