OddKidOut Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tastes so bittersweet
Don't you think the truth
Tastes so bittersweet
Summer through fall I had starry eyes for you
Just give a call and we'd
Run anywhere with a view in your Mercedes
We threw fuel on the fire
But it burned out quick
Adored the thought of love but
It never did stick
Don't you think the truth
Tastes so bittersweet
We're losing all the feeling and
We, we got high on hopeless dreams
I think we hit the ceiling babe
Left for you, left, left for you and me
Left for you, left, left for you and me
I think we hit the ceiling babe
Don't you think the truth
Tastes so bittersweet
There's nothing left for you and me
The truth tastes so bittersweet
I think we hit the ceiling babe
Strange to believe that we
Were just a fantasy
We're self-deceived in thinking we
Were meant to be
Don't you think the truth
Tastes so bittersweet
We're losing all the feeling and
We, we got high on hopeless dreams
I think we hit the ceiling babe
Left for you, left, left for you and me
Left for you, left, left for you and me
I think we hit the ceiling babe
Don't you think the truth
Tastes so bittersweet
There's nothing left for you and me
The truth tastes so bittersweet
I think we hit the ceiling babe
The lyrics of OddKidOut's song "BITTERSWEET" explore the conflicting emotions and realities of a romantic relationship that starts off with excitement and hope but ultimately ends in disappointment and disillusionment. The chorus repeats the line "Don't you think the truth tastes so bittersweet," emphasizing the bitter taste of facing the truth about the relationship.
The verses describe the initial infatuation and anticipation of being with someone, symbolized by the imagery of summer and starry eyes. The singer longs for a phone call and the freedom to go anywhere "with a view" in a luxurious car, showcasing a sense of adventure and desire. However, the passion and intensity they initially felt in the relationship quickly fades away, as indicated by the line "We threw fuel on the fire, but it burned out quick." The singer acknowledges that they romanticized the idea of love, but it never lasted or stuck.
The lyrics suggest a sense of disappointment and resignation. The phrase "We, we got high on hopeless dreams" suggests that they both indulged in unrealistic fantasies but ultimately reached a point where they couldn't go any further. The repeated line "I think we hit the ceiling babe" reflects the realization that they have reached a limit in their relationship, and there is nothing left for them. The lyrics convey a feeling of sadness and acceptance as they recognize that the truth of their situation is bittersweet.

Don't you think the truth
Do you not believe that the reality
Tastes so bittersweet
has a flavor that is both pleasurable and painful
Summer through fall I had starry eyes for you
During the summer and fall seasons, I was infatuated with you
Just give a call and we'd
Simply make a phone call and we would
Run anywhere with a view in your Mercedes
Drive to any destination while enjoying the scenery in your Mercedes
Tell me I'm your dream come true
Reassure me that I fulfill your desires completely
We threw fuel on the fire
We intensified our passion
But it burned out quick
However, it faded away rapidly
Adored the thought of love but
We cherished the idea of love but
It never did stick
It never truly stayed and became a reality
We're losing all the feeling and
We are gradually losing all the emotions and
We, we got high on hopeless dreams
We indulged in unrealistic aspirations
I think we hit the ceiling babe
I believe we have reached the highest point possible, and it's not sustainable
Left for you, left, left for you and me
I departed for you, I left everything behind, for both of us
There's nothing left for you and me
There is nothing remaining for the two of us
Strange to believe that we
It is difficult to comprehend that we
Were just a fantasy
Were merely an illusion
We're self-deceived in thinking we
We are deluded in believing that we
Were meant to be
Were destined to be together
