In Bloom
Sofia Valdes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How I′m tryin' to catch your thoughts overflowing with the sink
Quiet car rides middle of June
It′s 102 degrees
It gets colder when you speak
Pick the flowers in bloom
Anytime you want to
I could lie, but in truth
Too caught up in bloom
Pero no se que tu quieres de mi
One time, is all that I need to
Know you're not one to stick around (stick around, stick around)
Oh, one time, is all that I need to
Know you're not one to stick around (stick around, stick around)
Cycles I don′t want grow through
And I′m standing where I was a few years ago, why I
Feel like I went back to 17
Take the love of any man
With a heavy bag in hand
One time, is all that I need to
Know you're not one to stick around (stick around, stick around)
Oh, one time, is all that I need to
Know you′re not one to stick around (stick around, stick around, stick around, stick around)
Pick the flowers in bloom
Anytime you want to
Pero no se que tu quieres de mi
I could lie, but in truth
Too caught up in bloom
Pero no se que tu quieres de mi
Pick the flowers in bloom
Anytime you want to
Pero no se que tu quieres de mi
I could lie, but in truth
Too caught up in bloom
Pero no se que tu quieres de mi
Pero no se que tu quieres de mi (na-na, na)
Pero no se que tu quieres de mi (na-na, na)
(Hm-hm, ah, na-na, na)
The opening lines of "In Bloom" describe the singer's fascination with a person they are drinking with. They are trying to read the other person's thoughts as they seem to be overflowing with different emotions. During a car ride in the hot month of June, the singer realizes that the air becomes colder when the other person speaks. The line "pick the flowers in bloom" suggests that the singer is willing to give this person anything they want, yet still does not understand their true intentions. The repeated phrase "pero no se que tu quieres de mi" means "but I don't know what you want from me" in Spanish. The singer admits that they could lie about their feelings, but they are too caught up in the potential of this person to be truthful.
The second verse suggests that the singer has been stuck in the same cycles for years and feels as if they are reliving their past. They feel like they are 17 again and are willing to take the love of any man who comes their way, even if it means carrying a heavy burden. The chorus repeats the idea that the singer only needs one encounter to understand that this person is not willing to stick around. The ending lines repeat "pero no se que tu quieres de mi" as if to emphasize that the singer is still unsure about the other person's intentions.

Había escuchado el nombre de esta artista el año pasado pero no me había dado por buscar sus canciones hasta hoy que la mencionaron en el periódico acá en Panamá. Me ha sorprendido la calidad de sus canciones. Como panameños nos debemos sentir orgullosos de su trabajo.
