Blossom
Bipolar Sunshine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Understand you're my bright light
You're stunning, you, you're stunning, you
As I lay to rest knowing that your heart's on my chest
Then we had that one night
Where we all fell through, where we all fell through
As I lay to rest without your heart on my chest

It was a blossom day, it was an awful night

What happened here, I couldn't tell you
I've done Chardonnay, I've done half a bag
I put violence, I put fire
Dying away you call, you call
Dying away, you call, you call
Your show's off, new stuff, new stuff
Time to move forward and just don't be my wife anymore.

Understand you're my bright light
You're stunning, you, you're stunning, you
As I lay to rest knowing that your heart's on my chest.
Then we had that one night
Where we all fell through, where we all fell through
As I lay to rest without your heart on my chest.

It was a blossom day, it was an awful night
What happened here, I couldn't tell you
I've done Chardonnay, I've done half a bag
I put violence, I put fire
Dying away you call, you call
Dying away, you call, you call
Your show's off, new stuff, new stuff
Time to move forward and just don't be my wife anymore.

Understand you're my bright light
You're stunning, you, you're stunning, you
As I lay to rest knowing that your heart's on my chest
Then we had that one night
Where we all fell through, where we all fell through
As I lay to rest without your heart on my chest

We're living a lie deep inside
We're living a lie deep inside
We cast a fire deep inside
When the truth will rise, when the truth will rise
We're living a lie deep inside
We're living a lie deep inside
We cast a fire deep inside
When the truth will rise, when the truth will rise

You're filled with the same lies
You've sealed the whole life
The light died, the light died
I'm dimming the lights, I'm dimming the lights
We shine a light, together, together
This together, together.

Understand you're my bright light
You're stunning, you, you're stunning, you
As I lay to rest knowing that your heart's on my chest
Then we had that one night

Where we all fell through, where we all fell through
As I lay to rest without your heart on my chest.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bipolar Sunshine's song Blossom focus on a relationship that has soured and the emotional turmoil that follows. The singer understands that their partner is their "bright light" and is "stunning," but they cannot deny the conflict and issues that have emerged between them. The lines "It was a blossom day, it was an awful night" suggest that at one point, things between them were blooming beautifully, but have since gone awry. The singer talks about using alcohol and drugs to cope with the pain and grief of the situation - "I've done Chardonnay, I've done half a bag, I put violence, I put fire."

The repetition of "Dying away, you call, you call" suggests that the singer is ignoring calls from their partner and wants to move on with a new chapter of their life without them. The lines "Your show's off, new stuff, new stuff, time to move forward, and just don't be my wife anymore" indicate a desire for independence and a fresh start. The last verse, "We're living a lie deep inside, we cast a fire deep inside, when the truth will rise" suggests that although things have come to a difficult end, there is still a semblance of hope that the truth will ultimately heal both parties. The song is an honest and heartrending exploration of the complex emotions that come with the end of a relationship.
