Bizarre Love Triangle
Sonic Blume Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living a life that I can't leave behind
But there's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
Every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
(Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say)
The lyrics of Sonic Blume's "Bizarre Love Triangle," are emotional and thought-provoking. The song talks about the conflicting feelings of being in a relationship that you can't leave behind, knowing that it's not healthy for you. The singer admits to feeling shot right through with a bolt of blue whenever they think of their romantic partner. The line, "The wisdom of the fool won't set you free," suggests that they understand that staying in this relationship is unwise, but they can't seem to let go. They continually feel confused and continue to wonder why they can't be themselves, like they were in their youth.
The chorus of the song is particularly poignant. The singer is waiting for a final moment when their partner will say the words that they can't say. They are hoping for a solution, a way out of the predicament they find themselves in. The repetition of this section highlights the desperation and the longing of the singer to be free. The song ends with the singer admitting that they may never see what it is they are meant to be if they hurt someone else.

Every time I think of you
Whenever you come to my mind
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
I feel intense and sudden emotions of sadness and pain
It's no problem of mine
It's not my problem
But it's a problem I find
But I find it difficult to deal with
Living a life that I can't leave behind
Living a life that I cannot forget or move on from
But there's no sense in telling me
But there's no point in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
Even if someone gives you bad advice, it won't help you escape from this situation
But that's the way that it goes
But that's just how things are
And it's what nobody knows
It's something that nobody understands
Every day my confusion grows
Every day, I feel increasingly unsure and perplexed about this situation
Every time I see you falling
Whenever I see you struggling or failing
I get down on my knees and pray
I feel the need to pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
I'm hoping for that decisive instant
You say the words that I can't say
You express what I cannot express
I feel fine and I feel good
I feel okay and happy
I'm feeling like I never should
But I'm feeling like I shouldn't be feeling this way
Whenever I get this way
Whenever I feel like this
I just don't know what to say
I don't know how to express myself
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
Why can't we be ourselves and have the same relationship we had before?
I'm not sure what this could mean
I'm not sure what all this means
I don't think you're what you seem
I don't believe you are who you appear to be
I do admit to myself
I acknowledge to myself
That if I hurt someone else
That if I cause pain to someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Then I'll never know what our relationship could have been
(Every time I see you falling
(Whenever I see you struggling or failing
I get down on my knees and pray
I feel the need to pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
I'm hoping for that decisive instant
You say the words that I can't say)
You express what I cannot express)
