Blossom
Emma Blackery Lyrics

In "Blossom," Emma Blackery sings about a tumultuous relationship that has left her feeling drained and despondent. The lyrics paint a picture of a lover who is callous and insensitive, constantly bringing up past mistakes and reminding Blackery of her flaws. The opening lines describe a scene along a road where chrysanthemums lie dead and muddy, and her lover promises to buy them for her later when they have the money. He then goes on to accuse her of living for the melancholy and continues to call her even though it has been months since they've been together.

Blackery sings about feeling trapped, with her back against a wall, and the only comfort she finds is in her lover's love, which is compared to alcohol. He is portrayed as arrogant and controlling, always acting like a know-it-all, and as a result, she becomes a mess whenever she's with him. Despite all this, he gives her a pet name, calling her his "buttercup" and "blossom baby," which contrasts the gloomier tones of the song.

The final section of the song sees Blackery repeat the phrase "I don't really care" over and over, perhaps indicating that she has given up on this relationship or that she is resigned to the fact that it is going to continue despite its difficulties.
