Bliss
Syntax (2004 - Meccano Mind) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There was a time when we were cradled one on one
And now I find that all creation is undone
I'm throwing out all of these thoughts that are not mine
I'm building up you're coming down I'm losing time

And now I've found some solid ground
I thought I'd drowned but now I'm found
And on the lips of life I kiss
I find I'm here this place of bliss

It's better now you'll find that life is on your side
And you know of glory days the vibe you cannot hide
I'm giving you the chance to make it all alright
Baby come on walk with me I know the futures bright

When you dream of themes that drive you to feel insincere
Think again you know that all those feelings are just fear




When you're trilled by ego hits you think you're on a high
You should know deep down inside it never satisfies

Overall Meaning

In Syntax's song "Bliss," the lyrics explore finding a sense of direction and purpose in life. The opening lines reference a time of closeness and intimacy in a relationship, but now the singer is feeling lost and disconnected. They are trying to let go of negative thoughts that are not their own and focus on building something up while acknowledging that time is slipping away.


The second verse presents a glimmer of hope, finding a "solid ground" and being "found" after feeling lost. The lyrics emphasize finding joy and pleasure in life - kissing "on the lips of life" and discovering a "place of bliss." The chorus suggests that life is better when you embrace it and find positivity, rather than being hindered by fear or ego.

@aedvinious4876

This song was on my old
Middle school playlist and got removed off Spotify…after finding it here a flood of memories came in…thank you

@iammrvain

Thanks

@angryskidmark653

I keep trying to find this song but they keep taking it down

@Ellie-dl9pr

I know. Pisses me off.

@linkfan95

From what I understand, there's some douchebag with a band that has the same name and he has nothing better to do but go around and copyright all the videos and get them removed. Syntax has been trying to figure out how to work around this for years now.

@txlyons2937

@@Ellie-dl9pr I was so disappointed when this song disappeared from Spotify.

@Elevada

Don't worry. I have the physical CD of their album and I'll post it eventually on YouTube. I hate how their single Thorns and Roses got taken down though. Can't find it anywhere.
