Blossom
Clearbody Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You see it all around
Wash it out of your mouth
Everything you do
Is everything for the first time
You're across the world with the morning sun
I see your face even if
I don't want to
I don't want to

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Clearbody's song "Blossom" seem to speak of a struggle to let go of something, or someone. The line "wash it out of your mouth" can be interpreted as a desire to erase the memories or feelings associated with this person or thing. The following line "everything you do is everything for the first time" suggests that the person is trying to move on and make a fresh start, but is struggling to do so. The image of being "across the world with the morning sun" suggests a desire to escape, to put distance between oneself and the object of one's feelings.

However, despite this desire to move on, the next line "I see your face even if I don't want to" suggests that the person is still haunted by their past. It could be that they still have strong feelings for the person they are trying to let go of, or simply that they are finding it hard to forget. The repetition of "I don't want to" at the end could suggest a reluctance to let go, or a feeling of frustration at being unable to move on.

Overall, the lyrics of "Blossom" suggest a complex mix of emotions - a desire to move on, intertwined with an inability to do so, and a sense of frustration or even anger at oneself for being unable to let go.
