Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My friends don't want me as much as they used to before
My clothes don't fit as tight as they used to before
Yes I still love you but not the way I did
Before
It's alright, it's OK, I'll be fine
It's alright, it's OK, you're not mine
How could you do this to me?
Just get out, get out, get gone
How could you do this to me?
The sun don't shine as bright as it used to before
My friends don't want me as much as they used to before
The lyrics of awfultune's song "cherry blossom" depict the feelings of heartbreak and disappointment of a person who has been left by their partner. The opening stanza begins with a metaphorical reference to the sun - which symbolizes brightness, happiness and warmth - not shining as bright as it used to be. This can be interpreted as the singer's realization that their life is not as joyful as it used to be since the person they loved has left them. The next two lines continue with the comparisons of things not being the same as they used to be, indicating a loss of stability and comfort. Despite these changes, the singer expresses their continued love for their partner, but acknowledges that it's not the intense love they once felt.
The chorus of the song includes the lines "It's alright, it's OK, I'll be fine" and "It's alright, it's OK, you're not mine." The repetition of these lines suggests an attempt to convince themselves that they'll be alright without their partner. However, the line "How could you do this to me?" indicates that they are still struggling to accept it. The second half of the chorus urges the partner to leave and never come back, emphasizing the frustration, hurt and anger the singer feels towards them.
Overall, "cherry blossom" explores the emotions of heartbreak and disappointment that can arise from a failed relationship. It depicts the struggles of coming to terms with these emotions while attempting to move on with one's life.
