Bittersweet
Md$ Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I saw my beloved's flower garden
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
In my drunken haze
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
I saw myself as the source of existence
I was there in the beginning
Now I am sober
There is only the hangover
And the memory of love
And only the sorrow
I yearn for happiness
I ask for help
I want mercy
And my love says:
Look at me and hear me
Because I am here
Just for that
I am your moon and your moonlight too
I am your flower garden and your water too
I have come all this way, eager for you
Without shoes or shawl
I want you to laugh
To kill all your worries
To love you
To nourish you
Oh sweet bitterness
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring you roses
I, too, have been covered with thorns

In my hallucination
Within my imaginary state of mind
I saw my beloved's flower garden
I witnessed the beautiful collection of emotions and experiences from someone I deeply care about
In my vertigo, in my dizziness
Amidst my disorientation and confusion
In my drunken haze
During my intoxicated state
Whirling and dancing like a spinning wheel
Moving dynamically and rhythmically, like a spinning wheel in motion
I saw myself as the source of existence
I perceived myself as the origin or foundation of life
I was there in the beginning
At the very start, I existed
And I was the spirit of love
I embodied the essence and energy of affection
Now I am sober
Currently, I am free from intoxication
There is only the hangover
All that remains is the aftermath of my previous state
And the memory of love
And the recollection of affection
And only the sorrow
And solely the feeling of sadness
I yearn for happiness
I deeply long for joy
I ask for help
I request assistance and support
I want mercy
I desire compassion and forgiveness
And my love says:
And the person I love expresses the following:
Look at me and hear me
Pay attention to me and listen to what I have to say
Because I am here
Because I am present and accessible
Just for that
Exclusively for that purpose
I am your moon and your moonlight too
I serve as both your source of brightness and the illumination itself
I am your flower garden and your water too
I fulfill the role of both the collection of beautiful emotions and the nourishment for them
I have come all this way, eager for you
I have journeyed a great distance, filled with anticipation for your presence
Without shoes or shawl
Without any provisions or protection
I want you to laugh
I wish for you to experience joy and express laughter
To kill all your worries
To eliminate and overcome all your anxieties
To love you
To deeply care for and cherish you
To nourish you
To provide sustenance and support to you
Oh sweet bitterness
Oh complex combination of pleasure and pain
I will soothe you and heal you
I will bring comfort and alleviate your pain
I will bring you roses
I will offer you symbols of love and beauty
I, too, have been covered with thorns
Similar to a rose, I have also experienced hardships and difficulties
