Blissed
Jesus Jones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think I'll stay here anyway
And if the world makes demands of me
Then I'll wait and see
It's at times like these
I do what I please (Do what I please)
And I'm pleased to say
It's like I've always wanted to feel this way
Blissed, blissed
When I'm going somewhere, I'm going nowhere
Blissed, blissed
When I'm going nowhere, I'm going somewhere
Nothing ever else could feel like this
I couldn't settle for less than this
Let the feel the air wash over me
Let the ground sink beneath my feet
And I expect so much more from today
Than just a time between tomorrow and yesterday
Blissed, blissed
When I'm going somewhere, I'm going nowhere
Blissed, blissed
When I'm going nowhere, I'm going somewhere
There'll be a time when all my dreams come to an end
When I run out of postcards for you all to send
But I'll keep with me
All the things I feel and see
Blissed, blissed
When I'm going somewhere, I'm going nowhere
Blissed, blissed
When I'm going nowhere, I'm going somewhere

If the sun shines today
If the weather is nice today
I think I'll stay here anyway
I plan to stay where I am regardless
And if the world makes demands of me
And if people need me to do something
Then I'll wait and see
Then I'll assess the situation before acting
It's at times like these
In instances like this
I do what I please (Do what I please)
I do whatever makes me happy (Whatever makes me happy)
And I'm pleased to say
And I'm happy to report
It's like I've always wanted to feel this way
This is exactly how I've always wanted to feel
Let the feel the air wash over me
Let the wind blow on me
Let the ground sink beneath my feet
Let me stand firmly on the ground
And I expect so much more from today
And I hope for more out of today
Than just a time between tomorrow and yesterday
Than just a period of time that separates yesterday and tomorrow
There'll be a time when all my dreams come to an end
There will be a time when all of my aspirations are fulfilled
When I run out of postcards for you all to send
When I have shared everything that I have with others
But I'll keep with me
But I will hold on to
All the things I feel and see
All the thoughts and experiences that matter to me
When I'm going somewhere, I'm going nowhere
When I'm moving, I'm not trying to get to a specific place
When I'm going nowhere, I'm going somewhere
When I'm idle, I'm still going or progressing in some way
Nothing ever else could feel like this
Nothing else could feel as good as this
I couldn't settle for less than this
I wouldn't be satisfied with anything less than this
Blissed, blissed
Feeling ecstatic, feeling overjoyed

This song just popped in my head today and I found this new video. I hate the fact that Jesus Jones is the only band that I never had a real chance to see play live that I really wanted to. I got tickets to see them in 2004 in LA when I lived there, but the entire US leg of the tour was cancelled, probably due to lame people who don't get why this band is so important. On a personal note, I love all the music this band has ever made, and it shaped a significant part of my life.
