From an early stage in their career, Bliss N Eso primarily built their fan base from their compelling and energetic live performances. An exhilarating blend of fluid rhymes and banging beats teamed with beat boxing, impromptu freestyling and seamless turntablism make their live shows a brand in their own right, and has seen the group hailed as one of the best live acts in the country. After four years of touring with consistently powerful performances, Bliss N Eso settled down in 2004 to record their first full length album Flowers In The Pavement. A virtual brainstorm on record, the emerging artists compiled track after track of wild expression through vibrant lyrics and production. The debut album met an overwhelming response from audiences and critics Australia wide.
In late 2006, Bliss N Eso's second album, Day of the Dog, was released and became the first Australian hip-hop release to debut in ARIA's top 50. It also earned Bliss N Eso an ARIA nomination for Best Urban Release in 2006 with sales exceeding all benchmarks for a local hip-hop release. In 2007 Bliss N Eso travelled to North America, playing sold out shows in the North-West of the US and Canada including a stand out performance at the Whistler 2007 Telus World Ski and Snowboard Festival. Upon their return, the lads embarked on the unforgettable Make Poverty History Zero Seven road trip tour and ventured on an epic journey in June 2007 with MTV and the Oaktree Foundation to some of the poorest regions in South Africa to complete the track and shoot the video clip for their next album's first single, Bullet and a Target. 2008 saw Bliss N Eso take things to a whole new level with the release of their third LP, Flying Colours.
The album, which received near perfect reviews in countless media, broke all kinds of records for an Australian hip-hop act thanks to four monster singles in the form of Bullet and a Target, Woodstock 2008, The Sea is Rising and Eye of the Storm. After a top 10 ARIA debut, the album became the highest selling local hiphop album of the year and with their third nomination in as many years, Bliss N Eso took out the ARIA Award for 2008's Best Urban Release. The official album tour sold out every one of its 24 legs including an unforgettable homecoming show at Sydney's Enmore Theatre in front of 2,500 lucky ticket holders. After ten phenomenal years, these three troublemakers from Sydney's suburbs are officially in unchartered territory – which is exactly where they like to be.

Never Land
Bliss n Eso Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As many kind of people in this world,
But there's only two kinds, the buyers, and the ones who get bought.
No, there's another kind, it's kind, it's a kind that don't belong in a place at all.
There's a kind of bird that don't have any legs or cant land on nothing,
That had to spend it's whole life on its wings in the air.
I seen one once.
Had its wings spread out that wide and you could see right through em.
They don't see him way up in that high blue sky, in the sun.
What about the_________.
Well they fly so angry that the hawks would get dizzy.
See these little birds don't have no legs at all
So they have to live their whole life in the wind.
And they sleep on the wind.
That's what they do is, is spread their wings out, and go to sleep on the wind.
The lyrics to Bliss n Eso's song Never Land are a thought-provoking commentary on the nature of humanity and the limitations we place upon ourselves. The opening line, "You might think that there's as many, as many kind of people in this world," suggests that there is seemingly infinite diversity among individuals. However, the following line introduces the central theme of the song: "But there's only two kinds, the buyers, and the ones who get bought." This line speaks to the concept of power dynamics and the ways in which some people hold more agency and control than others.
The lyrics then take a turn and introduce a third group, one that "don't belong in a place at all." This mysterious group of beings is compared to a bird that cannot land or rest on the ground. Instead, it must spend its entire life in the air, sleeping on the wind. The imagery of this bird is striking and adds a layer of beauty to the song's message. This group is meant to represent those who exist outside of societal norms, outside of the strict dichotomy of buyers and those who get bought. They are free spirits, unbound by physical and societal limitations.
The repeated phrase "What about the _______" invites the listener to consider other examples of beings that exist outside of traditional categories. The final verse describes another type of bird that, like the previous bird, must stay in the air its whole life. However, this bird is unique in that its flight is erratic and angry, making hawks dizzy. This bird represents the passion and intensity that can push individuals outside of traditional roles and expectations.
Overall, the lyrics of "Never Land" encourage us to expand our understanding of what it means to exist and what is possible. It challenges us to question the constraints we place upon ourselves and others and to embrace the limitless potential that lies within.
