Bubbles
HUNGER Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm trying to keep calm underwater.
I'm counting the bubbles before we did.
I'm fine under the pressure, but I can't take it
holding me further. I'm away.

I'm trying to keep calm underwater.
Letting the bubbles cover me.
Searching for somewhere, no more hiding.
'Cause tonight I found my love, I found my way.

If this is love, why can I not breathe?

I've fallen from the edge into the night.

If this is love. If this is love, why can I not breathe? Why can I not breathe?

Bound together by the lonesome.
There is a hope inside of me, yeah.
Searching for someone to believe in.
'Cause tonight I lost my love, I lost my way
I lost my way...

If this is love, why can I not breathe?
I've fallen from the edge into the night,
If this is love. If this is love, why can I not breathe? Why can I not breathe?

(Intrumental)

If this is love, why can I not breathe?
If this is love, why can I find no sleep?

Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh




Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of “Bubbles” by HUNGER convey a feeling of anxiety and uncertainty in a romantic relationship. The singer is trying to stay calm underwater as if they are drowning, counting the bubbles before they pop. The pressure is holding them further away from where they want to be. The bubbles become a metaphor for the singer's emotions, as if they are trying to cover up their true feelings. They ask themselves if this is love, why can't they breathe? They feel like they are falling from the edge into the unknown.


The second verse starts with the singer being bound together by the lonesome, meaning that they are lonely and hoping for someone to believe in. They lost their love and lost their way, feeling lost and hopeless. The instrumental part follows, which further conveys the feeling of drowning or being lost. The final lines of the song repeat the question of why they can't breathe if this is love and why can't they find sleep.
