Bliss Avenue
Dana Fuchs Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

i got nobody - no place to call home
got no one to lean on - you left me alone

all i relied on fell flat on the floor
it's gonna be a long night alone i got in store

i've got no prayers - you used them all up
god heard my despair and he wished me good luck

all i believed in sent me straight down to hell
now i'm gonna burn, burn, burn and i'll do it well

oh the love that it used to be
all the love turned to lies
god only knows what i'm supposed to be
i just know this saint's done her time

you got nobody - no place to call home
got no one to lean on now - baby leave me alone

‘cause all you relied on just snapped right in two
it's gonna be a long night alone on bliss avenue




oh you're gonna have your long life alone on bliss avenue
good luck with your long life alone on bliss avenue

Overall Meaning

The song "Bliss Avenue" by Dana Fuchs is a deeply personal and emotional one that deals with themes of loneliness, desperation, and lost love. The opening stanza sets the tone with the singer lamenting their situation: "I got nobody - no place to call home, got no one to lean on - you left me alone." This refrain repeats throughout the song, emphasizing the singer's isolation and despair.


The second stanza highlights the singer's sense of defeat, as everything they relied on has "fell flat on the floor." They have no prayers left, no faith to sustain them, and feel abandoned by everything they once believed in. The image of burning in hell adds a touch of darkness, further underscoring the song's bleak tone.


The chorus echoes the idea that love has turned to lies and that the singer is facing an uncertain future. The final stanza brings in the subject of the person who left the singer alone, suggesting that they too will face a long night alone on Bliss Avenue. The repetition of the phrase "good luck with your long life alone" feels bitter and tainted with resentment.


Overall, "Bliss Avenue" is a song that captures the pain and anguish of lost love and loneliness. Its powerful lyrics and haunting melody will resonate with anyone who has experienced a similar emotional journey.
