Bloem's voice and musical style have been compared to Björk. Her music is mostly melodic although a couple of the songs on her album are quiet, just Bloem and her acoustic guitar. The album was produced by Pete Briquette, of Tricky fame. After her debut Bloem de Ligny virtually disappeared from the music scene, only to return in 2006 as Fono & Serafina, a duo with Ties van der Linden, releasing the dreamy trip hop album 'bathtub'.

Armage
Bloem De Ligny Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I want to get my baby
Done for the day

He's much nicer than I am
And quicker than slow
To get down to my nylons

Lay all your armage on

And learn
I give up
I learn you
How to use your tongue

You're mine wacked cold
You are now the only one
Who knows where I am
Gonna get up to myself
And watch
Then, my baby
When I get
When I get
When I get home

Call me hard my baby
Is why
I cannot refuse
He's much nicer than I am
And crazy bundle

When I will call
Catch a crow
You get your ???
You know what ???

You'll ,you'll, you'll be gone
Silver when I come home.

When...where...
....

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bloem De Ligny's song "Armage" are cryptic and open to interpretation. The first stanza seems to express a desire to finish the day's work and be with her lover: "I want to get my baby/Done for the day." The second stanza contrasts her lover's positive traits with her own deficiencies: "He's much nicer than I am/And quicker than slow."

The next stanza, "To get down to my nylons/Lay all your armage on/And learn," is more ambiguous. "Nylons" could be a reference to sexuality or femininity, and "armage" isn't a known word, so it's unclear what she's asking her lover to do. It's possible she's asking him to help her feel more confident or secure.

The final stanza is similarly cryptic: "Call me hard my baby/Is why/I cannot refuse." She seems to be saying that her lover's strength is what makes her unable to resist him. The rest of the stanza is difficult to interpret, although "you'll be gone/Silver when I come home" could suggest that her lover will be absent when she returns.

Overall, the lyrics of "Armage" are impressionistic and hard to pin down, but they create a mood of intimacy and vulnerability.

I want to get my baby
I want to go home to my lover

Done for the day
Done with all the work and ready to be with my lover

He's much nicer than I am
My lover is kinder than me

And quicker than slow
My lover is fast and efficient

To get down to my nylons
My lover is eager to undress me

Lay all your armage on
Put all your defenses down and be vulnerable

And learn
Be receptive to what I have to teach you

I give up
I surrender myself to you

I learn you
I will teach you

How to use your tongue
How to pleasure me orally
