Don't look back
Bliss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Like waves to the shore
Part of the ocean
The stars high above
Part of the sky

Now I drift to you
A dream of a river
A water so blue
Wish I could leave in
Wish you were here
Wish you were here

Like the air that I breath
You'll always be there
The winds that I need
When I wanna fly

Now I drift to you
A dream of a river
A water so blue
Wish I could leave in




Wish you were here
Wish you were here

Overall Meaning

Bliss's song 'Don't Look Back' contains lyrics that are captivating and full of emotion. The first verse, "Like waves to the shore, part of the ocean; The stars high above, part of the sky" serves as a metaphor for the idea that everything in the world is connected. The ocean and sky are vast and seemingly disconnected, but they are both part of the same natural system. Similarly, two people can be physically separated, but still connected in a larger sense.


The chorus of the song, "Now I drift to you, a dream of a river; A water so blue, wish I could leave in; Wish you were here, wish you were here" shows the singer's deep longing for their loved one. The metaphor of the river is an interesting one; a river can be calm and peaceful, or it can be tumultuous and dangerous. The singer is dreaming of a river so blue that they wish could live in it, perhaps to escape the difficulties of life. Their yearning for their loved one is so intense they wish they were physically present with them.


The second verse, "Like the air that I breathe, you'll always be there; The winds that I need when I wanna fly" also contains a metaphor. The singer's loved one is compared to the air that they breathe and the winds that they need to fly. The idea is that the loved one is an essential component of the singer's life, allowing them to function and find success. The final chorus repeats the first with the same emotional longing.
