Petals
Bedchamber Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
these hazy memories are gone
change is never fine I know
but where are you when I feel you near
maybe it's your glimpse and touch
keeps me undertow in your kiss
time is never asleep I know
moment passed it shows me who you are
moment passed it shows me who you are
moment passed it shows me who you are
now I'll leave the clouds away as you awake
The lyrics of "Petals" by Bedchamber convey the feeling of being lost in someone's presence, struggling to make sense of one's emotions and the changes they bring. The first two lines may refer to a relationship that has ended, leaving the singer with only fuzzy memories of what once was. Yet, despite the pain of change, the singer longs for the person they have lost and wonders where they are when they feel their presence around them. The following lines suggest that it is the person's touch that keeps the singer anchored, even though time never stops moving forward. However, the final lines imply a sense of resolution: "moment passed it shows me who you are/now I'll leave the clouds away as you awake." Perhaps the singer has come to understand who the other person truly is and is ready to let them go.
Overall, the lyrics of "Petals" evoke a sense of longing and vulnerability, as the singer grapples with the complexity of their emotions. The use of natural imagery such as "sailing" and "petals" creates a dreamy and emotive atmosphere, while the repetition of "moment passed it shows me who you are" emphasizes the idea of revelation and growth.
