Bliss
Chastity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is the impossible task
Of being happy as a human
And making it last
Bliss
It's an empty promise
That I've always wanted
But I lost it
Bliss
I had it in a moment but I lost it
In a constant swell of overwhelm
It's just a spell to distract myself
They shut the plant and my town fell
I know you can't, but I can't tell
I'm amiss
I'm missing
Myself
I'm amiss
I'm missing
Myself
Bliss, it's an empty promise
That I've always wanted
I had it in a moment, but I lost it
Bliss
I had it in a moment, but I lost it
The lyrics of Chastity's song Bliss express a longing for happiness and a sense of fulfillment in life, despite the challenges and unexpected turns that come with it. The opening lines convey a desire for something that may seem impossible to achieve - the lasting state of being happy as a human. However, this difficulty doesn't stop the singer from pursuing it. The song speaks of the concept of "bliss," a state of complete happiness and contentment, which has always been what the singer wanted. Despite having experienced it in a fleeting moment, they lost it.
The second verse hints at some of the obstacles the singer has encountered, as they navigate through life. These include overwhelming circumstances that can be hard to handle, and events like job losses that can significantly impact their wellbeing. The singer also mentions that there are things they cannot explain to others, possibly because of the complexities of human experience. Ultimately, the chorus reiterates the theme of the song, with the singer admitting that they had found bliss but lost it.
The song almost seems to represent the quest for happiness that many people go on in life, and the disappointment that can sometimes come with it when it isn't as sustained as we would like it to be. The singer is contemplative, and the longing for bliss remains, despite the challenges they have encountered along the way.
Line by Line Meaning
All I ask
The only thing I desire
Is the impossible task
Is to achieve something that cannot be attained
Of being happy as a human
To attain happiness as a mortal being
And making it last
Sustaining that happiness for a long period of time
Bliss
The state of being extremely happy
It's an empty promise
It is a pledge that will not be fulfilled
That I've always wanted
Something that I have yearned for incessantly
I had it in a moment
I briefly achieved that state
But I lost it
But I failed to maintain that state
In a constant swell of overwhelm
My life is constantly filled with too many things to handle
It's just a spell to distract myself
I use activities to distract myself from reality
They shut the plant and my town fell
The factory in my town closed down, and my town was negatively affected
I know you can't, but I can't tell
I am aware you are unable to understand me fully
I'm amiss
I am troubled, confused
I'm missing
I have lost
Myself
My identity or contentment with who I am
