Bliss
P.A.V Lyrics

Set adrift on memory bliss of you
The singer is lost in thoughts of the person they love, fully immersed in the fond memories of their time together.

Baby, you send me
The subject of the song has a powerful effect on the singer, who feels lifted up and deeply affected by their presence.

The camera pans the cocktail glass
The scene is set with a panoramic view of a bar or similar establishment, emphasizing the vague, hazy nature of the singer's memories.

Behind a blind of plastic plants
Cheap and artificial elements in the setting suggest a shallow and insincere atmosphere or situation.

I found the lady with the fat diamond ring
The singer tries to regain a concrete memory but can only recall a woman with a token of luxury or status.

Then you know I can't remember a damn thing
The singer expresses frustration at their inability to connect with the memory or recall more details about this moment.

I think it's one of those déjà vu things
The singer wonders if the experience was a strange, inexplicable episode of déjà vu or other phenomenon.

Or a dream that's tryin' to tell me something
The uncertain nature of the memory suggests a possible dream or subconscious message being communicated.

Or will I ever stop thinkin' about it?
The memory is so powerful and troubling that the artist can't help but keep revisiting it and trying to make sense of it.

I don't know, I doubt it
Despite this, there is a sense of resignation and helplessness in accepting that they may never truly understand what happened.

Subterranean by design
The singer imagines a hidden, underground space, suggesting an element of secrecy or mystery surrounding the events being recalled.

I wonder what I would find if I met you
The artist is curious about what might happen if they were to meet this person again and reclaim the memory.

Let my eyes caress you
The subject of the song is romanticized, with the singer imagining admiring their features with affection.

Until I meet the thought of Mrs. Princess Who?
The singer imagines an ideal, unattainable partner, represented here figuratively as a princess - suggesting the singer is searching for perfection but may not find it in reality.

Often wonder what makes her work
The singer is fascinated by the workings of the idealized woman's mind and personality.

I guess I'll leave that question to the experts
The singer doesn't know the answer, but assumes someone else does, emphasizing their sense of feeling lost and out of control.

Assuming that there are some out there
The singer isn't even sure if such 'experts' exist, further emphasizing their feeling of uncertainty and disorientation.

They're probably alone, solitaire
The expert(s) being sought may also be lonely or isolated, further heightening the feeling of being lost - 'solitaire' also suggests single player games, emphasizing isolation and detachment.

I can remember when
The song transitions to a new memory, further highlighting the fragmented and elusive nature of these reminiscences.

I caught up with a past time intimate friend
The artist is recalling another memory of intimacy with a friend from their past, adding to the sense of fragmentation and disorientation in the song.

She said, 'Bet you're probably gonna say I look lovely
The woman anticipates a compliment from the singer, emphasizing that there is tension or uncertainty around their relationship.

But you probably don't think nothin' of me'
The woman assumes that the artist doesn't really care about her or their connection, further emphasizing an underlying disconnect or tension.

She was right, though, I can't lie
The singer acknowledges the truth of the statement, suggesting that the relationship has perhaps changed or ebbed since the memory took place.

She's just one of those corners in my mind
Just like with the previous memory, the artist can only recall this woman in a vague or incomplete way, further emphasizing the theme of fragments and uncertain memories.

And I just put her right back with the rest
The song ends with the singer acknowledging that these memories, though disorienting and confusing, are simply one part of their past and current mental landscape. They accept that life is often fragmented and lacking in clarity, but they still feel powerfully affected by the memory of this special person.
