You noticed I'm the kind of girl who loves her diamonds and white pearls
So tempt me to jet set away in London
To sip on some tea, you surprise me with gifts from Tiffany
Ooh (La la la la la la la la)
I love the way we livin' boy
But my daddy say, "You don't need that boy"
So let's run away, let's run away (way, way)
And lovin' you is all I'm thinkin' of
My heart tells me that you're the one
It's the feeling you give, it is
Pure bliss
Like you've got the key to my heart
Simple as a touch and a kiss
Never knew a feeling like this
Pure bliss, pure bliss
Nobody can tear us apart
Baby it's as good as it gets (Kiss kiss kiss kiss)
Loving you will never be hard
This is pure bliss
I remember, when the pilot closed the door
Said it's time for lift off, you said, "What'd you choose me for?"
Don't ever wonder
'Cause you deserve the best
Once you reach the top you'll never question why you left
My world is yours
What you waitin' for?
Let's run away
Let's run away
Our friends, say we're crazy
But we can't listen baby
They've never had it like this
They don't know what it is
Pure bliss
Like you've got the key to my heart
Simple as a touch and a kiss
Never knew a feeling like this
Pure bliss, pure bliss
Nobody can tear us apart
Baby it's as good as it gets (Kiss kiss kiss kiss)
Loving you will never be hard
This is pure bliss
In "Bliss" by Teyana Taylor, the lyrics tell the story of a new and exhilarating love experience. The song begins with the singer expressing how their world changed when their significant other came into their life. The singer describes themselves as someone who appreciates luxury, like diamonds and white pearls. They are enticed by the idea of jet-setting away to London and being surprised with gifts from Tiffany, creating a sense of excitement and fantasy.
Despite their infatuation, the singer's family has reservations about their relationship. The father advises against pursuing this love interest, suggesting that they don't need that person in their life. This opposition from the family only amplifies the desire to run away together, to escape the judgment and restrictions. The singer's mother, on the other hand, thinks they are too young for love, but the singer's heart tells them that this person is the one they truly want.
The chorus represents the intense emotions and happiness the singer feels with this person. It's described as pure bliss, as if they hold the key to the singer's heart. A simple touch and a kiss ignite feelings that they have never experienced before. The chorus also implies that the love they share is unbreakable and that no one can come between them.
The second verse reinforces the importance and uniqueness of this relationship. The singer recalls a moment when they were about to take off on a flight, and their partner questioned why the singer chose them. The singer reassures their partner that they deserve the best and that once they reach the pinnacle of success, they will never question why they left their previous life. The singer invites the partner to come along on this journey and wants to run away with them.
The friends of the couple seem to doubt their relationship, considering them crazy, but the singer dismisses their opinions. The friends have never experienced love like this, and they underestimate what it feels like to be in such an intense and fulfilling relationship. The singer suggests that this love is a type of "bliss" that others may not be able to comprehend.
In summary, "Bliss" by Teyana Taylor portrays a love that brings immense joy and happiness to the singer's life. The lyrics illustrate their desire to escape societal norms and judgment, as well as the resistance they face from their family. The love they share is described as pure bliss, a feeling they have never known before. Despite criticism and doubts from others, the singer is confident that their love is genuine and unbreakable.
