Night Blooming Jasmine
Eli & Fur Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's a quarter past midnight On the street where you're roaming With
The scent of your cigarette The scent of a love so cold (cruel?
) There's an empty bar And I'm twisting all
Through the night But every time we touch...
All that's left is Night blooming jasmine & the songs that are
Leading me home All that's left is night blooming jasmine & the scent
Of your cigarette It's a quarter past midnight On the street where I
Go With a shape of your silhouette Cuz you never left my mind In that
Empty bar We were pacing all through
The night Still everytime we touch...
All that's left is night blooming jasmine &the songs that are leading

Me home All that's left is night
Blooming jasmine & the shape of your silhouette

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Eli & Fur's song Night Blooming Jasmine weave a story of longing and remembrance as we follow the singer wandering the streets at night. The song sets a mood of mystery and melancholy with its slow tempo and delicate instrumentation. The singer is enveloped in the scent of cigarette smoke, a symbol of the love that has turned cold and cruel. They walk alone, haunted by the image of a silhouette belonging to a lover who never left their mind.


In the empty bar, the two lovers once shared, the singer recalls pacing through the night with their beloved, their touching paradoxically leaving behind nothing but the scent of night blooming jasmine. The flower, which only blooms at night, symbolizes the fleeting nature of their love and the sweet memory left behind. As the singer walks through the streets, the scent of jasmine becomes intertwined with the music that is leading them home, a comforting reminder of what was and what could have been.


Overall, Night Blooming Jasmine is a melancholic reflection on a love that has passed, its memory kept alive only by the lingering scents and shapes that remain.


Line by Line Meaning

It's a quarter past midnight On the street where you're roaming
It's late at night and you're wandering around in the city


With the scent of your cigarette The scent of a love so cold
I can smell the smoke from your cigarette, and it reminds me of how distant and unfeeling our love has become


There's an empty bar And I'm twisting all through the night
I'm alone in a bar, feeling restless and anxious


But every time we touch...All that's left is Night blooming jasmine & the songs that are Leading me home
Even though our love is cold and distant, there are still moments when we connect and feel the sweet fragrance of night blooming jasmine, which reminds me of home


All that's left is night blooming jasmine & the scent Of your cigarette
I'm left with the aroma of the flowers and the smoke from your cigarette, which are the only things that remain after our love faded


On the street where I Go With a shape of your silhouette Cuz you never left my mind
I walk the same streets as you, and I can still see your silhouette in my mind because you left a lasting impression on me


In that Empty bar We were pacing all through The night Still everytime we touch...
We spent countless nights in that empty bar, trying to find a way to connect, but it never lasted beyond the brief moments when we touched


All that's left is night blooming jasmine &the songs that are leading Me home All that's left is night Blooming jasmine & the shape of your silhouette
Even though our love has faded, the sweet fragrance of night blooming jasmine and the memory of your silhouette are the only things that remain with me
