In Bloom
Protoje Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Open up your eyes and fight for your rights (ooh)
Or you will die
'Cause I'm gonna fight for many days and nights (for you baby)
But it's alright, that's why dem say

Now where do you run to, run to?
Is all of this just fun for you?
And where are you hiding, hiding?
Don't you see me fighting for you?

Where do you run to, run to?
Is all of this just fun for you?
And where are you hiding, hiding?
Don't you see me fighting for you?

Don't you see me fighting with all my might?
Don't you see me needing all your time?
Don't you see I'm lost inside your eyes?
Don't you see me loving you? Ay
Never find a better place to be than wrapped up in your time
Can't seem to go without the thought of being all up in your life
Hold me down, don't ever let me leave, it's part of your design
I'm right here for you

So where do you run to, run to?
Is all of this just fun for you?
And where are you hiding, hiding?
Don't you see me fighting for you?

Where do you run to, run to?
Am I too frightening for you?
And where are you hiding, where you hiding?
You see me fighting for you?
(I'm fighting for you)

Ay, girl, the farthest I'll fight from it is you
In my darkest of night, girl you been moon
Tell you things ever so feel so right
That you haffi start hide when you see what you into
Wan' talk and me can't even begin too
Wan' spar every chance weh me get
You no see ah how she set? Coulda gi' her set ah twin too
Even Jesus guilty of sin too
Worst with all of this drama me been through
And all ah this hurt wah me 'cause
When me look inna me past, realize seh I been fool
'Cause inna my life you fi include
Like two year now you shoulda been boo
Haffi change up the key, now me in tune
Cah nothing like a woman when she in bloom
And you been blooming

Now where do you run to, run to?
Is all of this just fun for you?
And where are you hiding, hiding?
Don't you see me fighting for you?

Where do you run to, run to?
Is all of this just fun for you?
And where are you hiding, hiding?
Don't you see me fighting for you? (I'm fighting for you)

So where do you run to?
Where do you run to
Don't you see me fighting for you?




Where are you hiding?
Where are you hiding, boo?

The singer urges them to open their eyes and fight for their rights, as not doing so could lead to their demise. Protoje promises to fight for them, but wonders if it's all just a game to them. He questions where they run to and hide, as he is left to fight for the relationship alone. The singer declares his love and willingness to stay with them, but needs the other person to reciprocate.

Protoje's frustration at his partner's lack of effort is palpable, as he pleads with them to see how hard he is fighting for them. Through his lyrics, Protoje reveals the emotional turmoil he is experiencing, and how he is left feeling lost and alone in the relationship.
