Bloom
Embracing Growth Amidst Life's Winter: Tory Floyd's 'Bloom'
Lyrics
I try to do things right
I make an effort to do things correctly
But wouldn’t you know it, still feels like I blow it
Despite my efforts, it often feels like I fail
If I don’t get them done on time
If I don't complete tasks on time
And then there’s this mind of mine
Referring to the complexities of the speaker's thoughts
Keeps me inside, feeding me lies
My thoughts keep me isolated and feed me false information
Telling me all I’m doing is falling behind
My mind suggests that I'm constantly falling behind
But I hear that flowers bloom
Despite challenges, there's hope as flowers bloom at different times
At different times in the spring
Metaphor for positive change happening at different times
Will the birds wait for me before they sing
Wondering if positive outcomes will wait for me
I’m digging for growth
Seeking personal development and improvement
Somewhere beneath the snow
Symbolizing the potential for growth hidden under difficulties
This winter’s cold
Describing the challenges faced during a metaphorical winter
Can’t hold me down for long
Confident that challenges won't suppress the speaker for long
I’m digging for growth
Continuing the theme of seeking personal and emotional growth
Somewhere beneath this heavy snow
Emphasizing the persistence despite heavy challenges
This winter cold can’t hold me
Asserting that the metaphorical winter won't hinder progress
Now you can’t say that I haven’t tried
Stating that the speaker has put in effort
Maybe I tried to skip the line once or twice
Admitting to occasional attempts to take shortcuts
So for now I’ll quit looking for a reason
Deciding to stop searching for immediate answers
The truth will come when I need it
Believing that the truth will reveal itself when necessary
So I’ll keep believing
Maintaining faith in the timing of life events
That everything happens in it’s season
Expressing a belief in the natural progression of events
But I hear that flowers bloom
Repeating the hope associated with flowers blooming
At different times in the spring
Reiterating the idea of positive changes occurring at different times
Will the birds wait for me before they sing
Pondering if positive outcomes will wait for the speaker
I’m digging for growth
Continuing the metaphor of seeking personal growth
Somewhere beneath the snow
Searching for development hidden beneath challenges
This winter’s cold
Describing the difficulties faced in a metaphorical winter
Can’t hold me down for long
Confident that challenges won't persist indefinitely
I’m digging for growth
Persisting in the pursuit of personal and emotional growth
Somewhere beneath this heavy snow
Emphasizing resilience despite heavy challenges
This winter cold can’t hold me
Asserting that the metaphorical winter won't endure
And the hardest thing about the harshest season
Highlighting the difficulty of enduring tough times
Is that it always last much longer than we ever thought we needed
Reflecting on the prolonged nature of challenges
I’m digging for growth
Continuing the metaphor of seeking personal and emotional growth
Somewhere beneath the snow
Searching for development hidden beneath challenges
This winter’s cold
Describing the difficulties faced in a metaphorical winter
Can’t hold me down for long
Confident that challenges won't persist indefinitely
I’m digging for growth
Persisting in the pursuit of personal and emotional growth
Somewhere beneath this heavy snow
Emphasizing resilience despite heavy challenges
This winter cold can’t hold me
Asserting that the metaphorical winter won't endure
