the tangram Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were drunk
We were having lots of fun
But your friend don′t want
Yeah your friend don't want no more
Life run fast
We were blessed
You know I am
But you let me down easy
Yeah you let me down easy
I was here
You were there
Have you been mad
Have you been mad?
You've been mad at me
Cause I'm so sad for you
Cause you set me free and in tears
Yeah you set me free and in tears
Cause you set me free and in tears
Yeah you set me free and in tears
Yeah you set me free
I was drunk
You were drunk
The lyrics to the song "Bliss" by Tangram describe a night of drinking and partying between two people who have feelings for each other. The chorus repeats the phrase "you set me free and in tears," suggesting that the relationship ultimately came to an end. The verses describe the conflicting emotions and experiences of the two people involved. The first verse mentions that despite being drunk and having fun, one person's friend disapproves of the situation. The second verse explores distance between the two people and the possibility that one person has been upset with the other. However, the chorus suggests that one person ultimately broke off the relationship in a way that was kind but painful.
There are various interpretations of the lyrics, but one possible reading is that the song is about a relationship that was fun but unsustainable. The drinking and partying may have been a temporary escape from the difficulties of the relationship, but in the end, one person decided to let go for the sake of both individuals. The sense of sadness and loss in the chorus implies that this decision was not easy, but ultimately necessary for both people to move on.
