Blow
Goodbye Bedouin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Guided by a charming no one
Blinded by how secrets become
lovebirds that fly high and low
Good times are when my trumpets won't blow.

Bounded by all the stress, art and fun
Misguided by how secrets become
lovebirds that fly high and low

Good times still when my trumpets won't blow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Goodbye Bedouin's song "Blow" seem to be talking about the struggle of navigating through life's ups and downs. The first two lines suggest that the person is following someone they find charming, but they are also blinded by the secrets that come with it. The lines "lovebirds that fly high and low" suggest that the person is experiencing both the highs and lows of the relationship or situation they find themselves in.

The next two lines talk about being bound by stress, art, and fun, which could indicate that the person is an artist or creative in some way, and that the stress that comes with the profession is affecting them. The line "misguided by how secrets become" may suggest that the person is struggling with balancing their personal life with their professional life.

Regardless of these struggles, the person seems to find solace in the "good times" when their "trumpets won't blow." This may suggest that the person finds peace in moments of quiet and reflection, away from the noise and distractions of the world around them. Overall, the lyrics seem to have a melancholy tone, suggesting that the person is struggling with finding balance and peace in a chaotic world.

Line by Line Meaning

Guided by a charming no one
Following someone who appears charming but has no real direction.

Blinded by how secrets become lovebirds that fly high and low
Unable to see how keeping secrets can be damaging, and how relationships can suffer as a result.

Good times are when my trumpets won't blow
Finding peace in the absence of loud, chaotic noise.

Bounded by all the stress, art and fun
Feeling trapped and limited by the pressures of trying to balance work, creativity, and enjoyment in life.

Misguided by how secrets become lovebirds that fly high and low
Being led astray by the misguided belief that keeping secrets can somehow enhance relationships.

Good times still when my trumpets won't blow
Even in the midst of stress and confusion, finding moments of calm and contentment.
