Bliss
HEIRSOUND Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Took a minute to myself, I got dust building on my shelves
And you can see it inside of my mouth
This is the only way that I seem to get it out
I guess I've been through a lot the past year
I opened my mind, my eyes can see clear
People from the past you'll notice they're not here
Took a minute but now I steer clear
But everybody's asking me
Why the hell I would wanna leave, why the hell I would rather be
With anybody else but her majesty
I spit a little spite I need to step back there's a fine line
I don't wanna be the bad guy
But I spent mad nights making love to a night light
"Wife life", not quite not right
Now I see fans like 'pick the right side'
They don't even know the nights that I've cried
They don't even see the ugliness hiding
It's blinding when you find it
But ignorance I guess it's bliss

Ignorance i guess it's bliss

You don't even know yourself, I can tell by your mental health
And you might think that you can push it aside
Take it from me I watched the girl you were die
I need you to see, not make believe
You made me leave, I pleaded
On hands and knees I had to scream to try to make you see it
But it was deeper than us, who am I to judge?
I played my part, but you'd rather live in the dark





Ignorance i guess it's bliss

Overall Meaning

They mention the absence of certain people from their past, indicating a conscious decision to distance themselves from toxic or negative influences. The line "I spit a little spite I need to step back there's a fine line" suggests a struggle between expressing frustration and not wanting to become the antagonist in a situation.


The song continues by addressing societal pressure and the expectation to conform to certain ideals, particularly in relationships.
