Bittersweet
Glayden Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

In the morning mist
This breeze is all that I needed
All you ever wished for
Getting close to completion
In the morning mist
Season of snow I can feel it
She can't not resist
No she don't want it she need it

It's bittersweet
It's bittersweet
Off a tab let the light
Purify my soul
Purify my soul
Off a tab let the light
Purify my soul
Purify my soul
That temptation
Pulling you in like a riptide
The tables turning
They turning everytime
All your decency
Is a distant memory
But it's better that way
I promise you gonna see
That temptation
No you can't hide from it
Tables turning
Don't be so hypocrite
That temptation
Surrender to it
Tables turning
Don't know if we exist
Don't know
Don't know
Don't know i don't
It's bittersweet
It's bittersweet
Off a tab let the light
Purify my soul
Purify my soul
Off a tab let the light
Purify my soul
Purify my soul
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind
Gone with the wind, with the wind
Like a bird, like a bird
It's bittersweet
It's bittersweet
Off a tab let the light
Purify my soul
Purify my soul
Off a tab let the light

Purify my soul
Purify my soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Bittersweet by Glayden convey the idea of surrendering to temptation and the consequences that come with it. The morning mist and the season of snow represent the beginning of a new day or a new season, a fresh start, but the temptation pulls the person back. The line "all you ever wished for getting close to completion" could refer to the idea that the person is getting closer to fulfilling their desires or everything they wished for, but at what cost? The bittersweet feeling comes from the fact that the temptation may bring pleasure and fulfillment momentarily but may lead to regret and sadness at the end. The lyrics "Off a tab let the light purify my soul" could be seen as a reference to the use of drugs to escape reality and reach a state of purity or enlightenment.

The chorus repeats the words "It's bittersweet," emphasizing the emotional struggle that comes with the decision to give in to temptation. The lines "Gone with the wind, with the wind, like a bird" could signify the fleeting nature of pleasure and how it can quickly disappear like a gust of wind or a bird flying away. The last line "Don't know if we exist" could be interpreted as a question of identity, whether the person exists as their true self or has been consumed by their temptation.

In the morning mist
In a hazy state of mind

This breeze is all that I needed
The smallest things can bring joy

All you ever wished for
Desires becoming reality

Getting close to completion
Achievement is within reach

Season of snow I can feel it
Winter is here, emotions stirred

She can't not resist
A tempting offer too hard to refuse

No she don't want it she need it
Cravings overpowering common sense

It's bittersweet
Emotions conflicting, positive and negative

Off a tab let the light
Finding solace in drugs

Purify my soul
Cleansing the mind and spirit

That temptation
The allure of sin

Pulling you in like a riptide
Irresistible force taking control

The tables turning
The situation changing unexpectedly

They turning everytime
Repetition of patterns

All your decency
Moral compass abandoned

Is a distant memory
The past is irretrievable

But it's better that way
Ignorance is bliss

I promise you gonna see
Future realization of consequences

No you can't hide from it
The consequences cannot be avoided

Don't be so hypocrite
Self-awareness is key

Surrender to it
Giving in to temptation

Don't know if we exist
Doubting the reality of life

Don't know
Uncertainty and confusion

It's bittersweet
The complexities of life

Gone with the wind
Fleeting, transient moments

Like a bird
Free and unbound

It's bittersweet
The contradictions of life

Off a tab let the light
Escaping reality through drugs

Purify my soul
Seeking spiritual cleansing

Off a tab let the light
Choosing to ignore reality

Purify my soul
Finding redemption through faith
