Bizarre Love Triangle
f r e n t e Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Every time I think of you
I get a shot right through
Into a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine
But it's a problem I find
Living the life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
And every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I feel like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I'll get down on my knees and pray




I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

Overall Meaning

The song "Bizarre Love Triangle" by F r e n t e is a heartbreakingly beautiful ode to unrequited love. The opening lines, "Every time I think of you, I get a shot right through, into a bolt of blue," perfectly capture the physical and emotional impact that the object of the singer's affection has on them. Despite acknowledging that their love is a problem that they cannot leave behind, the singer struggles with finding a way to express their feelings: "Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday?...If I hurt someone else, then I'll never see just what we're meant to be." The chorus, which repeats the lines "Every time I see you falling, I get down on my knees and pray, I'm waiting for the final moment, you say the words that I can't say," underscores the sense of helplessness and longing that pervades the song. The final lines, with their repetition of the phrase "You'll say the words that I can't say," drive home the idea that the singer is waiting for the object of their affection to take the initiative and acknowledge the depth of their connection.


Line by Line Meaning

Every time I think of you
The memory of you stings me


I get a shot right through
And the pain never fades


Into a bolt of blue
It hits me out of nowhere


It's no problem of mine
I acknowledge that the fault is mine


But it's a problem I find
Still, it troubles me


Living the life that I can't leave behind
I am consumed by the past


There's no sense in telling me
I don't want your advice


The wisdom of a fool won't set you free
I know what I'm doing is pointless


But that's the way that it goes
But I'm stuck in this cycle


And it's what nobody knows
No one else understands


And every day my confusion grows
My mind is a tangled mess


Every time I see you falling
When you struggle, too


I get down on my knees and pray
I pray for your well-being


I'm waiting for the final moment
I'm hoping for a resolution


You say the words that I can't say
You'll express what I can't


I feel fine and I feel good
Sometimes I feel okay


I feel like I never should
But I know I shouldn't


Whenever I get this way
When I feel content


I just don't know what to say
It's always fleeting


Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday
Why can't we go back to simpler times?


I'm not sure what this could mean
I'm confused about what's happening


I don't think you're what you seem
I don't trust you completely


I do admit to myself
I acknowledge within myself


That if I hurt someone else
If I hurt someone in the process


Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
I'll never know our true potential


Every time I see you falling
When you struggle, too


I get down on my knees and pray
I pray for your well-being


I'm waiting for the final moment
I'm hoping for a resolution


You'll say the words that I can't say
You'll express what I can't

"Bizarre Love Triangle"

Every time I think of you
I get a shot right through
Into a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine

But it's a problem I find
Living the life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of a fool won't set you free

But that's the way that it goes
And it's what nobody knows
And every day my confusion grows

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You say the words that I can't say

I feel fine and I feel good
I feel like I never should
Whenever I get this way
I just don't know what to say

Why can't we be ourselves
Like we were yesterday
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem

I do admit to myself
That if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see
Just what we're meant to be

Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

Every time I see you falling
I'll get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for the final moment
You'll say the words that I can't say

Every time I think of you
I feel shot right through with a bolt of blue
It's no problem of mine, but it's a problem I find
Livin' a life that I can't leave behind
There's no sense in telling me
The wisdom of the fool won't set you free
But that's the way that it goes and it's what nobody knows
Well, every day my confusion grows
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
I feel fine and I feel good
I'm feeling like I never should
Whenever I get this way, I just don't know what to say
Why can't we be ourselves like we were yesterday?
I'm not sure what this could mean
I don't think you're what you seem
I do admit to myself that if I hurt someone else
Then I'll never see just what we're meant to be
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
Every time I see you falling
I get down on my knees and pray
I'm waiting for that final moment
You say the words that I can't say
