Although they first met at school in a small Midlands city, it took years of various musical endeavours before the boys found themselves together in Leeds.
Despite being together for a few months, they've toured the UK twice, earned an invitation to play Download Festival and are premiering their debut single January Sun, recorded live to tape at Greenmount Studios, on BBC Radio One.
Now older and more experienced (but none the wiser) Fizzy Blood are poised to make an impact.
Strangers
Fizzy Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Never exchanging a name
Infatuated, I contemplated you lips
But my infatuation was strange
Black, purple, and cream
These are the colors of your nightmares, and colors of my dreams
Strange though as it seems
You know I′m standing in the corner
A place where I can see your silhouette
Looks kinda lonely could it use some company?
But I can never tell,
Tell if you saw me through the lights and smoke machines
In my mind, I'm killing time, ′til I can get you alone
I've watched and waited as the evening subsides
But here I am once again stuck to my phone
Sweat, smoke, and perfume
You know I'll never find a moment to place me next to you
Enjoying the view
But still I′m standing in the corner
A place where I can see your silhouette
Looks kinda lonely could it use some company?
But I can never tell,
Tell if you saw me through the lights and smoke machines
Black, purple, and cream
These are the colors of your nightmares, and colors of my dreams
Strange though as it seems
You know I′m standing in the corner
A place where I can see your silhouette
Your silhouette, looks kinda lonely
Could it use some company?
But I can never tell,
Tell if you saw me through the lights and smoke machines
Your silhouette, looks kinda lonely
Could it use some company?
But I can never tell,
Tell if you saw me through the lights and smoke machines
The lyrics of the song Strangers by Fizzy Blood convey the feeling of being an outsider in a social setting. The title itself suggests a sense of separation and disconnect from others. In the first verse, the singer describes their unsuccessful attempts to make a connection with someone they are infatuated with. They cannot even exchange names with this person, which emphasizes their disconnection from the social scene. The lyrics "Black, purple and cream, these are the colors of your nightmares, and colors of my dreams" suggest that the singer and their crush are different in some way. The singer seems to find comfort in observing their crush from afar, standing in the corner and watching their silhouette. The second verse portrays the singer's frustration with their inability to get closer to their crush. They describe the atmosphere of the party, with its "sweat, smoke and perfume," and their feeling of being stuck, waiting for a chance to talk to their crush. The chorus repeats the idea of the singer standing in the corner, watching their crush's silhouette, and wondering if they are noticed. The repetition of this line emphasizes the singer's isolation and their longing for connection.
The lyrics of Strangers could be interpreted in different ways by listeners depending on their personal experiences. However, it seems clear that the song is about the feeling of being a spectator rather than a participant in social situations. The singer is separated from others, watching from a distance and unable to make a connection. The song is also notable for its use of colors to convey emotions. The colors mentioned in the lyrics - black, purple, and cream - are associated with darkness, mystery, and softness, respectively. These colors add to the sense of separation and otherness that the singer experiences.
Line by Line Meaning
Picture this, a swing and a miss
Imagine a failed opportunity
Never exchanging a name
Never formally introducing ourselves
Infatuated, I contemplated your lips
I was deeply attracted to you with intentions of kissing you
But my infatuation was strange
But my attraction had a peculiar quality to it
Black, purple, and cream
Dark and unsettling colors that represent our fears and dreams
These are the colors of your nightmares, and colors of my dreams
These colors represent the things we are afraid of and the things we wish for
Strange though as it seems
Odd as it may sound
You know I'm standing in the corner
You are aware that I am awkwardly positioned in the room
A place where I can see your silhouette
A location where I have a clear view of your shape
Looks kinda lonely could it use some company?
Your figure appears isolated and I wonder if you would like some company
But I can never tell
However, I am uncertain
Tell if you saw me through the lights and smoke machines
Whether or not you noticed me amidst the flashing lights and smoke is unclear
In my mind, I'm killing time, ′til I can get you alone
I am mentally biding my time until I can have you to myself
I've watched and waited as the evening subsides
I have been observing and anticipating throughout the course of the night
But here I am once again stuck to my phone
Yet, I am still preoccupied with my phone, even though I desire your connection
Sweat, smoke, and perfume
The scent of sweat, smoke, and perfume fill the air
You know I'll never find a moment to place me next to you
I realize there will never be a convenient time to be close to you
Enjoying the view
So, I continue to simply admire you from afar
Your silhouette, looks kinda lonely
Your form looks somewhat deprived of companionship
Could it use some company?
Perhaps, you would welcome some human interaction
But I can never tell
But, I am still unsure
Tell if you saw me through the lights and smoke machines
I still cannot decipher whether or not you noticed me amidst the chaotic atmosphere

Esta canción la asocio con una chica que (no) conocí, Giselle. Digamos que era su himno. De una manera extraña mi situación con ella es como la letra de la canción. Yo estoy desde una esquina apenas viendo su contorno, queriendo conocerla y que me conozca.
He querido encontrarla pero las únicas pistas que tengo son esta canción y que asistió a una exposición de Román de Castro en la galería Anomalía.
Espero un día saber de ella.
