Lauri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And a shadow is cast on devotion
She's the one that I adore
Queen of my silent suffocation
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Bittersweet
I won't give up, I'm possessed by her
I'm bearing a cross, she's turned into my curse
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Bittersweet, I want you (how I wanted you)
And I need you (how I needed you)
Oh, break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Break this bittersweet spell on me
Lost in the arms of destiny
Bittersweet
The lyrics of Lauri's song "Bittersweet" reflect the singer's struggle with a painful and conflicting love. He starts by admitting that he is giving up on love and that his devotion has been overshadowed by a heavy burden. The woman he adores has become the queen of his silent suffocation, indicating that she might possess the power to take away his happiness and peace. However, despite this realization, he claims that he is possessed by her and that he cannot give up on her, even as she has turned into his curse. He is bearing a cross, which is a symbol of the pain and suffering he endures because of his love for her.
The chorus of the song, "Break this bittersweet spell on me, lost in the arms of destiny," highlights the conflict between the singer's desire to break free from his love and his sense of destiny, which might be drawing him towards it. He acknowledges the complexity of the situation and the fact that his love is both sweet and bitter, hence the title of the song. He ends by repeating the chorus and expressing his strong desire for the spell to be broken so that he can free himself from the pain and uncertainty he feels.
