Sweetness
Fischerspooner Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Violence
Pains this guy
Was a fearsome joy
Shooting blazing bursting
How I'm pouring sweetness
That I served inside
Was this profusion
And (wanted) it fills me up
Was this profusion
And (wanted) it fills me up
And I going
And I'm coming in now
And I feel it
Cannot be nowhere now

And I go
Here I am
Where I go I?

Cannot say
You are me and you are where I am
You smashed a hornet's nest
They swarm around inside
They hope to seek revenge
Slowly suffocate

In a bliss fragrance my core atomises
Deep in me gardenias bloom
(Pop!) For you
Splendid confusion
Hornets swarm inside
Pounds against refusion

Splendid confusion
And I going
And I'm coming in now
And I feel it
Cannot be nowhere now

And I go
Here I am
Where I go I?




Cannot say
You are me and you are where I am
