Bloom
Pascal Pinon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
and dispelled the gloom
Wordlessly we were captured
in the cunning bloom
It felt like forever
but in a glimpse was lost
The sunshine and
the spring smell makes me think it's not
It's easy to become attached
My greatest harm is in the water
Down my cheeks, down my cheeks
It came with the sunlight
and dispelled the gloom
Wordlessly we were captured
in the cunning bloom
It felt like forever
but in a glimpse was lost
The sunshine and
the spring smell makes me think it's not
Of course there're million things
That I'm afraid of
but I'm not scared of this
When it's dark and all is low
I long for lying on my back
Whispering to the stars reliving the bloom
The flowers have the strangest colors
It's easy to become attached
My greatest harm is in the water
Down my cheeks, down my cheeks
The lyrics of Pascal Pinon’s Bloom can be interpreted in various ways, but at its core, it seems to be about the fleeting nature of life and the beauty that can be found in it. The song begins with the arrival of sunlight, which dispels the gloom and creates a feeling of wonder and enchantment. The “cunning bloom” that captures the singer and the listener is a reference to the emergence of spring flowers, which, despite their fleeting beauty, can be captivating and unforgettable.
The singer reflects on the transient nature of this bloom, how it seems like it lasts forever yet is lost in a blink of an eye. The juxtaposition of the beauty of the flowers and the harm that can be caused by water, which is mentioned twice (“My greatest harm is in the water, down my cheeks, down my cheeks”), adds a layer of complexity to the song’s meaning. Perhaps the reference to water represents the passage of time and the inevitability of life’s ups and downs.
The final lines of the song express a yearning for the comfort that nature can provide amidst life’s uncertainties. The singer finds solace in lying on her back and whispering to the stars, reliving the beauty of the bloom. Overall, the lyrics of Bloom seem to offer a poignant meditation on living in the moment and finding joy in the transient beauty that surrounds us.

This song has swallowed everything I loved about other songs and easily became one of the most tremendous melodies I've ever heard.
@nope.thankies
What a lovely sentiment...I feel like you'd enjoy "Dust it off" by The Dø, I find both songs give me a similar feel although this melody is much softer

a new beginning
