Bizarre Love Triangle
Gravity Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
well every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
Gravity Jones's song "Bizarre Love Triangle" is an ultimate anthem for those who struggle with their emotions towards someone they love. The song talks about the singer's unrequited love and his inability to move on from the relationship that he knows is not good for him. The song's opening lyrics "Every time I think of you, I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue," convey the singer's feelings towards his love interest. He knows that he cannot leave her behind, and it's a problem he is struggling with.
The singer is aware that he might be acting foolishly, but he cannot help himself, and his confusion only grows with time. Lines, "But that's the way that it goes, and it's what nobody knows well every day my confusion grows," conveys his internal struggle. However, even with all of his internal struggles, the singer cannot resist praying for his love's final moment to realize his love for her. The line, "Every time I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray. I'm waiting for that final moment, you say the words that I can't say," further emphasizes his helplessness and how deeply he is affected by this person's presence.
Moreover, the song's chorus talks about the singer's frustration with the relationship's dynamic that is keeping him from expressing his true feelings. The lyrics, "I'm feeling like I never should, whenever I get this way. I just don't know what to say, why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday?" implies that he wants to express himself truthfully, but he finds himself unable to do so. In the end, the singer acknowledges that if he hurts someone else, he might never see what he is "meant to be."

Every time I think of you
Reflecting on thoughts of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
Emotional intensity overwhelms me
It's no problem of mine
It's not my issue to deal with
But it's a problem I find
Nonetheless, it troubles me
Living a life that I can't leave behind
Stuck in a situation I can't escape
But there's no sense in telling me
Don't bother trying to explain
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
Even good advice won't change everything
But that's the way that it goes
That's just how life is sometimes
And it's what nobody knows
No one knows what the future holds
well every day my confusion grows
My uncertainty continues to mount
Every time I see you falling
Whenever you encounter hardship
I get down on my knees and pray
I plead with a higher power for your help
I'm waiting for that final moment
Anticipating a decisive point in time
You say the words that I can't say
You express what's difficult for me to articulate
I feel fine and I feel good
I usually feel okay
I'm feeling like I never should
But now I'm experiencing unfamiliar emotions
Whenever I get this way
Whenever I feel like this
I just don't know what to say
I'm at a loss for words
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
Why can't we behave the way we used to
I'm not sure what this could mean
I'm uncertain of the significance here
I don't think you're what you seem
I suspect you're not entirely honest
I do admit to myself
I acknowledge to myself
That if I hurt someone else
That if I cause harm to others
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Then I'll never know what's possible between us
