Blossom
Cravin' Melon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
She led me to that place where the Sweet Blossom grows
She held my hand and now I understand why I came this way.
Took off running with nowhere on my mind
Never thought of what I left behind
Sittin' by the phone all alone, why'd I come this way?
Until I find my way back to where that Sweet Blossom grows
Back to where that Sweet Blossom grows
Stars shining over me came crashing down again
World watching over me came crashing down again
I raised my eyes to see reality, but I can't find my way
I feel so empty when I'm coming down
You always listen, now you're not around
Sweet Blossom flower in my darkest hour, help me find my way
chorus
We took off running down that shady road
We made it to that place where the Sweet Blossom grows
And if you take the time you will find I'm right behind you
chorus
The lyrics to Cravin' Melon's song "Blossom" depict a journey towards finding oneself and the difficulties that come with it. The first stanza describes a woman leading the singer down a path towards a place where the "Sweet Blossom" grows. Despite initially having no destination in mind, the singer follows her and is eventually led to a place where he discovers the reason for his journey. The second stanza shows the singer reflecting on his decision to leave everything behind and the resulting feeling of emptiness. The chorus repeatedly expresses the desire to return to where the Sweet Blossom grows as a source of solace and clarity.
The third stanza portrays a sense of being lost and overwhelmed with life's struggles. The imagery of stars and the world crashing down convey a feeling of hopelessness and despair. However, the fourth stanza expresses a belief that the Sweet Blossom could be a source of comfort even in the darkest of hours. The final chorus brings the song back to the imagery of running down the shady road with the Sweet Blossom as the destination - this time with the reassuring presence of the singer's companion.
The overall interpretation of the lyrics is that the Sweet Blossom represents a place of spiritual and emotional renewal. The journey to get there is arduous and requires leaving behind comfort and certainty, with the risk of becoming lost and despairing. The song suggests that finding one's way to the Sweet Blossom is worth the struggle and that those who take the time to find it will find their way back to a place of calm and clarity.

You always listen, now you're not around
Feeling alone and without support when needing it the most

We took off running down that shady road
Started the journey together
We made it to that place where the Sweet Blossom grows
Reached the desired destination together
And if you take the time you will find I'm right behind you
Supporting and following each other on the journey
