Forever Lesbians Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've been good to me
Oh, I could, I could kiss ya'
But these things gotta change if you want me to stay, it was you that made me act this way
and all this words gotta pay
It doesn't matter if I love you, you're getting me in trouble trying my hardest to not exist
You'll bring me back, oh, in the flick of your wrist
The lyrics of Forever Lesbians' song "Bohemian Vista" is about the bittersweet feeling of leaving a place that you have grown to love. The singer speaks of how the Bohemian lifestyle, with its carefree and relaxed attitude, has been good to her, and how she will miss it. The line "Oh, I could, I could kiss ya'" expresses the singer's fondness for that lifestyle and the memories associated with it, but at the same time, she realizes that she needs to move on if she wants to grow.
The lyrics also hint at the idea that the singer's decision to move on was not entirely of her own volition. The lines "It was you that made me act this way/ And all this words gotta pay" suggests that something or someone in Bohemian Vista influenced the singer's choices. Despite her love for the place, she realizes that she needs to break away from it to avoid getting into trouble. In the end, though, she acknowledges the power that Bohemian Vista has over her, saying that it would take just a flick of the wrist to bring her back.
Overall, "Bohemian Vista" is about the struggle to let go of a place that holds a special place in one's heart while also recognizing the need for change and growth. It highlights the power of places and people in shaping our decisions and the importance of finding a balance between holding on and letting go.
