Blossom Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Icicles
Of jealousy
Blooming on my window
Ev'ry night
I can't sleep
'Cause I miss you so - oh
Do you love her?
Do you love me?
Come back
I want you so desperatly





Do you love her?
Do you love me?

Overall Meaning

In Blossom's song "Icicles," the lyrics paint a picture of a person who is deeply in love with someone they miss dearly. The icicles on the window symbolize the coldness and emptiness they feel without their lover. The jealousy within them grows like the icicles, and it becomes difficult for them to sleep at night. They are torn between wondering if their lover loves someone else or if they still love them. The repetition of the questions "Do you love her?" and "Do you love me?" shows just how much they want their lover back and how much they are willing to fight for their love.


The emotion in the lyrics is palpable, and the song captures the feeling of missing someone so much that it becomes hard to exist without them. The use of imagery, such as the icicles and the repetition of questions, brings to life the pain of unrequited love. The lyrics suggest that the person is willing to do anything to have their lover back and that their love for them is all-consuming.
