Bloom
The Crash Years Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crack open my heart, and let someone through.
It could end in a tragedy, but lately I'm thinking it won't,
Now that I see you.
I've been drowning in oceans, but swimming in your eyes.
Got me caught in a hurricane, forgetting those nights I spent pretending I'm genuine, but nothing seems real unless I'm genuinely yours.
Wait for something to happen, but I fear that it won't.
But I see in the distance, those ships full of feelings.
The ones you said you had lost.
And I remember this place.
These walls and those stairs.
The first time that I saw you.
Fast forward three years, and I'm counting down days til once of us breaks, and finally lets out the truth...
In the song "Bloom" by The Crash Years, the lyrics talk about the vulnerability of opening up one's heart to another person. The singer reflects on returning to his roots and allowing someone to break down the walls in his heart. The singer acknowledges that this could be a tragic decision, but he believes that it won't be because he sees something special in the person he has his eye on.
The singer then goes on to describe how he has been struggling with his emotions and drowning in the hardship of life, but when he looks into the eyes of this person who has caught his attention, he feels caught in a whirlwind of emotions. He admits to pretending to be genuine in the past, but realizes that nothing compares to the feeling of being genuinely with this person.
As they sit on a bench, waiting for something to happen, the singer sees in the distance "those ships full of feelings" that the other person said they had lost. The song then takes a nostalgic turn as the singer remembers the place where they first met and fast-forwards three years to when he anticipates one of them will break and finally admit their true feelings.
Overall, the song is a reflection on the beauty and vulnerability of falling in love and the courage it takes to open up to someone else, as well as the fear of losing that connection.
