Bizarre Love Triangle
JM de Guzman Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I think of you
I get a shot right through
Into a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine

But it's a problem I find
Living the life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free

But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
And every day my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I feel 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 the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

Every time I see you falling
I'll get down on my knees and pray




I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

Overall Meaning

The song "Bizarre Love Triangle" by JM de Guzman is a poignant reflection on the complications and anxieties of love. The opening lines, "Every time I think of you, I get a shot right through, into a bolt of blue," describe the intense, immediate, and overwhelming impact of the singer's emotions. He acknowledges the difficulty that comes with trying to move on from something that he cannot let go of, and he struggles with accepting that he cannot control his feelings. The line "It's no problem of mine, but it's a problem I find, living the life that I can't leave behind" encapsulates this feeling of being trapped in emotions that he knows he should not have, but can't help but feel.


The chorus speaks to the depth of his yearning and his desire for resolution, "Every time I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray, I'm waiting for the final moment, you'll say the words that I can't say." He recognizes his own inability to express himself, and he hopes that perhaps the other person will take the lead and bring about closure. The song's final verse acknowledges the pain of potentially hurting someone else in pursuit of this unrequited love, and the fear of never knowing what could have been.


Overall, "Bizarre Love Triangle" is a brutal yet poetic examination of the complexities of love, the pain of unrequited feelings, and the difficulty of moving on.


Line by Line Meaning

Every time I think of you
Each moment you cross my mind,


I get a shot right through
Intense emotions run through me,


Into a bolt of blue
My heart races,


It's no problem of mine
The circumstances are not within my control,


But it's a problem I find
But I am struggling to cope,


Living the life that I can't leave behind
My past is haunting me, making it hard to move forward,


There's no sense in telling me
Trying to convince me otherwise is pointless,


The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
Because foolish behavior creates more problems in the end,


But that's the way that it goes
But sometimes, things unfold despite our best efforts to control them,


And it's what nobody knows
And we cannot predict the outcome with certainty,


And every day my confusion grows
And every day, I feel more uncertain and lost in my feelings,


Every time I see you falling
Whenever I see you struggling or in pain,


I get down on my knees and pray
I feel compelled to pray, hoping to ease your pain in some way,


I'm waiting for the final moment
I am waiting for a moment of clarity or resolution,


You say the words that I can't say
Hoping you can express something that I'm unable to,


I feel fine and I feel good
Sometimes, I feel okay about everything,


I feel like I never should
But then, I feel guilty for feeling that way,


Whenever I get this way
During these moments,


I just don't know what to say
I struggle to articulate my thoughts and feelings,


Why can't we be ourselves
Why can't we express ourselves authentically,


Like we were yesterday
Like we used to be able to,


I'm not sure what this could mean
I'm unsure of what to make of these complicated emotions,


I don't think you're what you seem
I'm uncertain about who you are and what you want,


I do admit to myself
I acknowledge to myself,


That if I hurt someone else
If my actions end up hurting someone else,


Then I'll never see
Then I may never fully understand


Just what we're meant to be
What exactly our relationship means and where it could go,


Every time I see you falling
Whenever I see you struggling or in pain,


I get down on my knees and pray
I feel compelled to pray, hoping to ease your pain in some way,


I'm waiting for the final moment
I am waiting for a moment of clarity or resolution,


You'll say the words that I can't say
Hoping you can express something that I'm unable to,
