Antarctica
The Bled Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The rain begins. the tide it pulls.
And it drags me down. keep rolling in.
Alone you float.
She won't let go.

And it spins you out.
Keep rolling in.
Underneath a web of satellites.
Concrete structures puncture holes in the sky.

Nothing lives here and no one comes here anymore.
Redesign me.
I lost your grip.
Peeled apart by the owed.

Stick beside me on the road.
Redesign me.
I Lost my grip.
Peeled apart by the owed.

Stick beside me on the road.
She winks and glows.
If I could run from this I swear I would take you with me.
But this place has got the best of us again.

And it won't just go away.
We're driving in with our hearts halfmast and there's nothing left to say.
Redesign me.
I lost my grip.

Peeled apart by the owed.
Stick beside me on the road.
Redesign me.
I lost my grip.





Peeled apary by the owed.
Keep Rolling In...

Overall Meaning

The Bled's song Antarctica begins with a gloomy depiction of raining and powerful tide which drags the singer down. The line 'Alone you float, She won't let go.' suggests the singer is stuck in a situation and unable to escape, possibly because of someone. The next two lines 'And it spins you out, Keep rolling in.' refers to a cycle - something the singer is going through that has no end. The imagery of 'Underneath a web of satellites' and 'Concrete structures puncture holes in the sky.' suggests the location is desolate and industrialized, where no life exists anymore.


The chorus of the song, which starts with 'Redesign me', is repeated several times throughout the song. This could suggest that the singer wants to change himself or is asking someone else to change them. The lines 'I lost your grip, Peeled apart by the owed.' could mean that the singer was attached to someone or something, but it was taken away from him/her, peeling the singer apart. The final lines suggest that the singer is unable to leave the place as it has a hold on him/her and they're stuck there, driving in with half-mast hearts.
