In Bloom
Neck Deep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Almost forty-eight hours have passed since the fall of an atomic bomb)
(And an attack upon the cities of man)
(And even now we are only beginning to see the aftermath)
(Of a massive display of destruction and power)
(That has uprooted our fresh outset of peace in civilized society)
(Despite the rubble, there is a predominant sense of wonder and marvel)
(At the awesome nature of this technological terminus)
(That has bewildered the very core of the human psyche)

Sometimes at night I let it get to me
And sometimes I'm sure it gets to all of us
And last night it had me down, I'm feeling numb
I can try, but sometimes that is not enough
No, sometimes that is not enough
No, sometimes that is not enough

And stop calling me out, we're never going to
Put the pieces back together if you won't let me get better
And stop digging it up or we're never gonna
See it all in bloom

And thinking back upon those days
Way, way back when I was young
I was such a little shit
'Cause I was always on the run
Well, you know just what they say
That, "Just like father then like son"
Don't delude me with your sympathy
'Cause I can do this on my own

And this won't be the last time
That I break down and wanna crawl to bed
'Cause the truth is you're the only voice I wanna hear in my head

So, stop calling me out, we're never going to
Put the pieces back together if you won't let me get better
And stop digging it up or we're never gonna
See it all in bloom

And stop calling me out, we're never going to
Put the pieces back together if you won't let me get better
And stop digging it up or we're never gonna
See it all in bloom




All in bloom
All in bloom

Overall Meaning

The beginning of "In Bloom" sets a post-apocalyptic scene, years after an atomic bomb has ravaged society. Despite the devastation, there is still a sense of awe at the power that caused it - technology so advanced it bewilders the human psyche. It's in this world that the singer finds themselves struggling with their own mental health. They're trying to deal with their issues on their own, but sometimes it's not enough. They ask others to stop calling them out and digging up their problems because they need space to heal and put themselves back together. The song then shifts to a nostalgic tone, reflecting on the singer's childhood and the fact that they were always running away. They reject any sympathy offered to them, insisting that they can handle their issues alone. The song ends with the repeated plea for others to stop digging things up and to let them heal so they can see life in bloom again.


The lyrics of "In Bloom" speak to the loneliness and isolation that can come with mental health struggles. It can feel like the world has ended, like there's no hope, and like there's no one there to help you. The post-apocalyptic imagery reinforces this sense of emptiness and isolation. The song is ultimately about the importance of giving space to people who are struggling and allowing them to heal on their own terms.

In Bloom
Neck Deep
Sometimes at night I let it get to me
And sometimes I'm sure it gets to all of us
And last night it had me down and feeling numb
I can try but sometimes that is not enough
No sometimes that is not enough
No sometimes that is not enough
And stop calling me out we're never going to
Put the pieces back together
If you won't let me get better
And stop digging it up or we're never gonna
See it all in bloom
And thinking back upon those days
Way way back when I was young
I was such a little shit
Cos I was always on the run
Well you know just what they say
Just like father then like son
Don't delude me with your sympathy
Cos I can do this on my own
And this will be the last time
That I break down and wanna crawl to bed
Cos the truth is
You're the only voice I wanna hear in my head
So stop calling me out we're never going to
Put the pieces back together
If you won't let me get better
And stop digging it up or we're never gonna
See it all in bloom
And stop calling me out we're never going to
Put the pieces back together
If you won't let me get better
And stop digging it up or we're never gonna
