Bloom
Denny Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it doesn't feel special anymore
as if the thought really crossed my mind
if I'd been paying attention
i'd've known
has the bloom come to late for us?
have I really lost my touch?
there's nothing here for us
i'm too scared to speak
i'm running out of time, running out of time
i'm losing control
losing control
i'm too scared to speak
how'd you get so high
how'd you get so high
when we're all so low?
seems i've come late to the party
everyone's already dressed
all my friends are dead on the inside
but at least they're paying rent
has the bloom come to late for us?
have I really lost my touch?
has the bloom stirred the dust enough?
there's nothing here for us
i'm too scared to speak
i'm running out of time, running out of time
i'm losing control
losing control
i'm too scared to speak
how'd you get so high
how'd you get so high
when we're all so low?
oh, if it comes for you now
you'll be caught off guard
left out in the dark, what a feeling
i'm too scared to speak
i'm running out of time, running out of time
i'm losing control
losing control
i'm too scared to speak
how'd you get so high
how'd you get so high
when we're all so low?
The song "Bloom" by Denny tells a story about feeling left out and unimportant in a world that moves too fast. The opening lines, "I've been let down too many times, it doesn't feel special anymore," suggest that the singer has experienced disappointment one too many times and has become numb to it, which explains the lack of enthusiasm when it comes to feeling special or excited about something. The lines, "as if the thought really crossed my mind, if I'd been paying attention I'd've known" show that the singer wasn't paying enough attention to notice something that may have changed things for them. This could represent a missed opportunity or a failure to recognize something important.
The chorus, "Has the bloom come too late for us? Have I really lost my touch? Has the bloom stirred the dust enough? There's nothing here for us," suggests a certain fear and uncertainty about what the future holds. The singer wonders if they've missed their chance to be happy or successful, and if they will ever be able to make a difference in their life. The feeling of being left behind and unnoticed is further emphasized by the lines, "Seems I've come late to the party, everyone's already dressed, all my friends are dead on the inside, but at least they're paying rent."
In the last verse, the singer becomes aware of their own fear of speaking up and taking action, as well as their own helplessness. The lines, "I'm too scared to speak, I'm running out of time, running out of time, I'm losing control, losing control, I'm too scared to speak" suggest a certain feeling of hopelessness and powerlessness. The song ends on a somewhat ominous note, with the lines, "Oh, if it comes for you now, you'll be caught off guard, left out in the dark, what a feeling," suggesting that life can be unpredictable and we are never truly in control.
