Speak
Great Bloomers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Spent all night making plans for us
I made my peace with rising sun
Now sheâ#128##153#s mine and Iâ#128##153#m biding my time
And when she fell asleep
I changed my futureâ#128##153#s path
Set fire to death and gave myself
Oh, being immortal ainâ#128##153#t for me
I took you down to a roaring fire
Laid in the cold sand
But on the other hand I know
The thought of you don't hold me no more
The hot wind blew our
Parting words onto the
Warm lake while we sat wide awake and shared
More silence than I'd like to admit
I've seen the last good part of me
Decay gradually
We were both swallowed by the mouth of the lake
Baffled still by all the sense we could make
But we both sank like stones
You already missed the soft land
And you molded to my figure just like the sand below
In this dark place I couldn't see your face
But with all this weight above how could we grow
I will rise
I will rise with the sun
The lyrics of Great Bloomers' song "Speak" seem to be about a complicated romantic relationship and the singer's longing for freedom and growth. The mention of the fortune teller speaking of trouble suggests a sense of foreboding or a warning about the obstacles that lie ahead. The singer acknowledges that they have spent time making plans with their partner, but they have also made peace with the rising sun, implying that they have accepted the reality of their situation.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals a desire for change and liberation. They take control of their future, changing its path and setting fire to death, symbolizing a transformation or rebirth. The line "being immortal ain't for me" suggests that they do not want to be stuck in an eternal or stagnant state, but rather seek growth and evolution.
The second verse delves into the complexities of the relationship further. The singer reminisces about a moment by a roaring fire and lying in the cold sand with their partner, but juxtaposes it with the realization that they are no longer captivated by the thought of them. The hot wind blows their parting words onto a warm lake, while they sit wide awake, sharing more silence than they would like to admit. This illustrates a sense of distance and perhaps a lack of communication or emotional connection.
In the final lines, the singer metaphorically portrays their determination to rise and grow. They declare that they will rise with the sun, symbolizing a renewal of hope and the desire to move forward from the darkness and limitations of their current situation.
Overall, "Speak" captures the complexities, uncertainties, and longing for freedom within a romantic relationship, as well as the desire for personal growth and transformation.

Spent all night making plans for us
I spent the entire night devising plans for our future together
I made my peace with rising sun
I have come to accept and find peace in the new day
Now she’s mine and I’m biding my time
I have captured her heart and now I am waiting patiently
And when she fell asleep
While she was in a state of slumber
I changed my future’s path
I altered the direction my life was heading towards
Set fire to death and gave myself
I destroyed the negative aspects of my life and embraced
Everlasting light
eternal brightness
Oh, being immortal ain’t for me
Oh, I do not desire immortality
I took you down to a roaring fire
I brought you to a fierce fire
Laid in the cold sand
We laid in the chilly sand
But on the other hand I know
However, on the contrary, I am aware
The thought of you don't hold me no more
The idea of you no longer has a grip on me
The hot wind blew our
The intense wind carried away
Parting words onto the
Our words of farewell onto the
Warm lake while we sat wide awake and shared
The pleasant lake while we remained fully awake and
More silence than I'd like to admit
More silence than I am willing to acknowledge
I've seen the last good part of me
I have witnessed the disappearance of the last positive aspect of my being
Decay gradually
Slowly deteriorate
We were both swallowed by the mouth of the lake
Both of us were engulfed by the lake
Baffled still by all the sense we could make
Still perplexed by all the meaning we could find
But we both sank like stones
But we both descended rapidly like heavy objects
You already missed the soft land
You have already missed the opportunity for a gentle landing
And you molded to my figure just like the sand below
And you shaped yourself to fit me perfectly, just like the sand beneath us
In this dark place I couldn't see your face
In this gloomy setting, I couldn't see your face
But with all this weight above how could we grow
However, with all this burden weighing down on us, how can we progress
I will rise
I will ascend
I will rise with the sun
I will ascend along with the rising sun
