Bizarre Love Triangle
Commercial Breakup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel shot right through
into a bold of blue.
It's no problem of mine
but it's a problem I find
living a life that I can't leave behind.
There's no sense in telling me
the wisdom of a fool won't set you free.
and it's what nobody knows
and every day my confusion grows.
Everytime I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
you'll say the words that I can't say.
I feel fine and I feel good
I feel like I never should.
When ever I get this way
I just don't know what to say.
Why can't we be ourselves
like we were yesterday.
I'm not sure what this could mean.
I don't think you're what you seem.
I do admit to myself
that if I hurt someone else
then I'll never see just what we're ment to be.
Everytime I see you falling
I get down on on my knees and pray.
I'm waiting for that final moment
you'll say the words that I can't say.
Everytime I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
you'll say the words that I can't say….
The lyrics in Commercial Breakup's song "Bizarre Love Triangle" describe the singer's intense feelings of love and confusion toward someone they cannot seem to escape. The opening lines, "Everytime I think of you / I feel shot right through / into a bolt of blue," suggest that the singer's love is passionate and overwhelming, causing them to feel as though they have been struck by lightning.
Despite acknowledging that their obsession with this person is a problem they cannot shake, the singer seems unable or unwilling to move on from them. "It's no problem of mine / but it's a problem I find / living a life that I can't leave behind," they sing. This could suggest that the singer is aware that their fixation is irrational or unhelpful, but they feel powerless to change it.
The chorus of the song features the singer waiting for the object of their affection to make a move and confirm their feelings. "Everytime I see you falling / I get down on my knees and pray / I'm waiting for that final moment / you'll say the words that I can't say," they sing. This could imply that the singer is afraid to express their love for this person directly, or that they feel that they cannot take action until the other person makes a move.
Overall, "Bizarre Love Triangle" is a song about the intense emotional turmoil that love can inspire, particularly when the love is one-sided or difficult to act on. It is a passionate expression of longing and confusion, capturing the messy and complicated nature of falling in love.

Deberías escuchar la versión originalmente incluida en su disco. Es muchísimo mejor, más pegadiza.

@@timolaiostimolaii9727 Es buena, pero le falta algo, ese toquecito de pimienta y sal. No me engancha emocionalmente. Quizá es que con la version del video fue que nos enamoramos con mi chica de aquellos años.
