Meanwhile, the follow-up single “Sledgehammer” conjures a “dreamy quality” as it nods to “seventies pop love songs.” He also joins forces with Jesse Rutherford of The Neighbourhood on the hypnotic “In One Ear.” Then, there’s “Blood Sugar.” The handclaps and harmonies underscore a serious rumination on his personal struggle with Diabetes. “I was diagnosed with Diabetes since I was 16, and I’ve been dealing with it since then. The song is me talking to my inner demon.”
Take My Breath Away
Kid Bloom Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I swear I'll take the time
You're acting crazy
You're borderline out of line
Every time you're on my mind
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
Let's go driving
Hold on to the high
Monday morning
I kissed your hand goodbye
Every time you're on my mind
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
You take my (take my breath away)
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
You take my breath away
Rock my body
Slow and steady
You take my breath away
Rock my body
Slow and steady
You take my breath away
Rock my body
Slow and steady
You take my breath away
Rock my body
Slow and steady
You take my breath away
In Kid Bloom's song "Take My Breath Away," the singer seems to be trying to maintain a relationship with someone who seems to be struggling with mental health issues. The opening lines, "Tell me something, I swear I'll take the time / You're acting crazy, you're borderline out of line," suggest that the singer is willing to listen and be patient with the other person, even if their behavior may be difficult to handle. Despite this, the singer also acknowledges that the other person's behavior is "out of line," which could indicate that they are becoming exhausted by the other person's instability.
Throughout the song, the singer expresses how much this person affects them, singing lines like "Every time you're on my mind, you take my breath away." It's unclear whether these breathless moments are positive or negative, as they could either indicate the singer being taken aback by the other person's beauty or being overwhelmed by their presence in a negative way.
The bridge of the song shifts the focus to physical intimacy, with the repeated refrain of "Rock my body / Slow and steady / You take my breath away." While it's unclear if the lyrics are suggesting that physical intimacy is a way to cope with emotional turbulence or simply a shared moment of passion between the two people, the overall effect of the song is melancholic and bittersweet.

on Hazy Miss Daisy
Daisy don't be cruel all of this depends on you
Your friends are laughing and you take your time
Lately you lose your way
Never mind what people say
Daisy don't you know it's getting late?
Run from the gallery
Too much going on around
Not sure what's needed she'll do anything
Sleeping in for days
Listen to my pillow say:
"What good could this be doing for anyone?"
Nothing matters at all
Nothing matters
I know the (girl?)
She's mad at the world
Doesn't take a lot to tell her the ugly words won't make it better
I'm not from here
She's calling me dear
(Shouting?) names won't make it better
(?) songs won't change the weather now
Make it better now
