Bluebottle Kiss Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's not over even though it's finally through
Drank the cup awhile till somebody withdrew
Feel the wind cry out as it screams against your face
All that love you drank now you shake with distaste
All the birds will cry are they doing it for you?
Touch the winter sky well it's just it and you
Was the grass that green when you looked at it before?
Where the cliffs that harsh when you opened that door?

It's taking you over it's taking you through
Was the sky always that blue?
Feel the beginning murder the end
Did you need a friend when it's not over now

And it's not over now as you lie down on your back
Hear the cat meow as the clouds all turn black
And the ocean dreams and you think it looks like rain
Just get soaked awhile let it wash out your pain

The water's your lover, the sky is your friend
There never really was an end




Surf down a sand dune, your fates in your hands
Now you understand that it's not over now

Overall Meaning

Bluebottle Kiss's song Now is a heartfelt track that explores the aftermath of a relationship that has come to an end. The opening lines, "It's not over even though it's finally through/Drank the cup awhile till somebody withdrew", suggest that despite the relationship reaching its conclusion, the pain and suffering still linger. The imagery of "All that love you drank now you shake with distaste" indicates the disappointment and regret that come with investing time and energy into a failed romance. The chorus provides some hope by questioning if the sky was always blue and inviting the listener to feel the beginning and murder the end. The song concludes with the message that the water is the lover and the sky is the friend, and that understanding that "it's not over now" can provide solace as one moves forward.

This is currently the greatest watch on the entire internet, bar none. Fucking tremendous. Incidentally; I wouldn't have noticed said 'glitch' if it weren't referenced as no one can expect lossless dynamics from a live performance...🤘🤗🎸

For your fine taste in Australian music, I salute you.

I need to see more! This is awesome - I only had to wait 20 years to see BbK live in Brisbane the other night, and I wasn't disappointed.

Dale Steinhardt
