Bladee Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna reach closer to you
The world's edge falls head first
A second, a moment, forever, ephemeral
Suffering stops, bodies drop
Flowers sprout, bloom, die and rot
Therefore I am, you are not
Come, evening sun, come, darkness, come
Come as you are, dance to our song
Life finds a way, how to portray
The mirrors change, the story stays
I-I-I wanna live in heaven
I wanna reach closer to you
The world's edge falls head first
A second, a moment, forever, ephemeral
If only, if only, if only, if only we could be as one in everyone
If only, if only, if only, if only one is true, then which one is it?
If only, if only, if only, if only we could be as one in everyone
If only, if only, if only, if only one is true, then which one is it?
I-I-I wanna live in heaven
I wanna reach closer to you
The world's edge falls head first
A second, a moment, forever, ephemeral
These lyrics convey a desire for to live in heaven and to be closer to a loved one. The first two lines express this longing, while the next two describe the fleeting nature of life and the importance of making the most of it. The imagery of flowers sprouting, blooming, dying, and rotting reflects the natural cycle of life and death. The singer then acknowledges their existence with the phrase "therefore I am," while claiming that the you they want to be closer to is not. They then invite the evening sun and darkness to come and dance to their song, highlighting the contrast between light and dark, and the inevitability of both in life. The final two lines express the idea that life changes, but the story stays the same. The repetition of the first stanza throughout the song emphasizes the singer's desire to reach this idealized version of heaven and be closer to their loved one.
Overall, the lyrics explore themes of love, life, and death. The singer longs for a utopian existence and to be with their loved one, while also acknowledging the impermanence of life and the inevitability of death. The repeated use of "if only" suggests a sense of longing and regret, and the contrast between light and dark and the natural cycle of life and death further emphasize these themes.
