Blink
The Swarm Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics "How did it come to this?" from The Swarm's song Blink talks about a situation where the singer looks back in time and tries to understand the moment everything went wrong. This question is repeated throughout the song because the singer can't contemplate how everything spiraled out of control. The phrase "The question's getting old so fast" suggests that the singer is tired of thinking about what went wrong but can't seem to shake off the feeling of sadness and loss that comes with it.
The next line "You can't remember the moment that everything went to shit" is an expression of frustration because it seems impossible to pinpoint a specific moment that changed everything. It could be a relationship, friendship, or career that took a turn for the worse. The line "somewhere along the line, it just got that way" suggests that the change was gradual, and the singer didn't notice when everything good disappeared.
The last line "You turned around and everything good was gone" signifies that the singer is now looking back on what was once positive and is facing a new reality. The theme of the song seems to be about regret and reflection, and the singer wants to understand how they got to the present situation. Overall, the lyrics in "Blink" tell a story of someone who is trying to make sense of a tough moment in their life.
