Meanwhile, the follow-up single โSledgehammerโ conjures a โdreamy qualityโ as it nods to โseventies pop love songs.โ He also joins forces with Jesse Rutherford of The Neighbourhood on the hypnotic โIn One Ear.โ Then, thereโs โBlood Sugar.โ The handclaps and harmonies underscore a serious rumination on his personal struggle with Diabetes. โI was diagnosed with Diabetes since I was 16, and Iโve been dealing with it since then. The song is me talking to my inner demon.โ
Like I Never Left
Kid Bloom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I got what you need in a man
Now the judgement day is coming
Why you running
(Give it up)
Every time I give up you give in
Every time you get up I'm following
It's like I never left girl
Hold my mind I'll do you right
I see red and you see white (mm)
Now the judgement day is coming
Yeah, it's telling me
(Give it up)
Don't rush into it
Take your time with it
Show yourself
Know yourself
I can't help but wonder
Yeah, I'm older now
Still I don't know how
Every time I give up you give in (you give in)
Every time you get up I'm following (following)
It's like I never left baby
It's like I never left girl (never left)
(Like I never left)
It's like I never left baby
It's like I never left girl
The song "Like I Never Left" by Kid Bloom is about a man who is trying to win back a woman he's been with before. He claims to have what she wants and needs in a man, yet she still seems hesitant to fully commit to him. The chorus suggests that their relationship has a cycle of falling apart and being reunited, to the point where it feels like he never left her side. The repeating line "every time I give up you give in" shows how their dynamic constantly flip flops and they struggle to find a stable ground.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that he wants to do right by her, but their contrasting perspectives cause a disconnect. The line "hold my mind I'll do you right, I see red and you see white" implies that they have different views on certain matters, but he is willing to compromise to make things work. However, the impending judgement day (perhaps a metaphor for a significant event or decision) adds pressure to their situation and he urges her to "give it up" or fully invest in their relationship without hesitation.
Overall, the lyrics depict a tumultuous relationship where both parties have their own reservations, but they keep finding their way back to each other. The singer is pleading with his love interest to trust in their connection and make the effort to fully commit.
