Blew
Blew: A Journey from Secrets to Starlit Love
Lyrics
"Blow out the candles Margy"
Expressing a desire for Margy to blow out the candles, possibly symbolizing the beginning of a celebration or a significant moment.
I was twenty five
Recalling a specific age (twenty-five) as a point in time.
When I met the love of my life
Reflecting on meeting the love of the speaker's life.
But it wasn't always that way
Acknowledging that the relationship wasn't always smooth or perfect.
I've been young and scared
Describing past feelings of youth and fear.
And I've hid from my fears
Admitting to hiding from fears and hurtful comments from others.
And the mean things that people say
Referencing the impact of negative words from people.
I never told no one
Keeping a secret within, suggesting a hidden struggle.
The secret sealed in me
Further emphasizing the undisclosed secret.
Only the stars knew
Symbolizing the stars as silent witnesses to the speaker's hidden emotions.
When they were fallin'
Referencing falling stars as a metaphor for the speaker's hidden pain.
But now I
Transitioning to a new phase or realization.
Wake up in the morning
Beginning a new day, possibly signifying a positive change.
I got you by my side
Expressing the comfort of having the love of Margy in the morning.
I know it feels like this happened overnight
Acknowledging the sudden but profound nature of the relationship.
But for twenty some years
Reflecting on the long period of wishing for a relationship like this.
I wished, I wished
Reiterating the speaker's longstanding desire.
For you
Expressing the wish specifically for Margy.
On every candle I ever blew
Linking the wish to blowing out candles, possibly indicating birthdays and wishes over the years.
Blew
Repeating the word "Blew," possibly emphasizing the significance of wishes and their fulfillment.
There were High school years
Recalling high school years marked by emotional struggles.
Filled with bathroom tears
Describing tears shed in private moments.
I'd put on my hallway persona
Presenting a facade or image created for public spaces.
And all that overthinking
Highlighting the impact of excessive thinking on the speaker's emotional state.
Had me over drinking
Using drinking as a coping mechanism for overwhelming emotions.
To drowned out the way that I felt
Drowning out emotions through alcohol consumption.
I never told no one
Repeating the theme of keeping a secret about personal struggles.
The secret sealed in me
Reiterating the idea of a concealed personal struggle.
Only the stars knew
Continuing the metaphor of stars knowing hidden emotions.
When they're fallin'
Revisiting the falling stars as witnesses to the speaker's emotional pain.
But now I
Repeating the transition to a new phase or realization.
Wake up in the morning
Beginning another day with Margy by the speaker's side.
I got you by my side
Expressing the security and happiness of the current relationship.
I know it feels like this happened overnight
Reiterating the sudden and positive nature of the relationship.
But for twenty some years
Reflecting on the prolonged period of wishing for such a relationship.
I wished, I wished
Repeating the expression of a longstanding wish.
For you
Expressing the wish specifically for Margy.
On every candle I ever blew
Connecting the wish to the act of blowing out candles over the years.
Blew
Repeating the word "Blew," possibly underscoring the fulfillment of wishes.
