This poignant track from Soccer Mommy delves into the complexities of growing up, mental health struggles, and the elusive nature of happiness. The lyrics depict a stark contrast between the innocence of childhood and the harsh realities of adulthood. The songwriter uses vivid imagery to portray her battles with depression, symbolized by the "river running red" and "old wounds covered up." The recurring theme of inability to grasp happiness, likened to a firefly that slips through fingers, underscores feelings of inadequacy and discontentment. The song serves as a raw and honest exploration of personal pain, self-doubt, and longing for lost innocence.
bloodstream
Lyrics
Remembering running through my yard like a wild stream
Just a little kid, blood flowing into my rosy cheeks
Now a river runs red from my knuckles into the sink
And there's a pale girl starin' through the mirror at me
Maybe it's just a dream, wish I could go back to sleep
Hydrangeas bloomin' off the branches of park trees
It's a half-hearted calm, the way I've felt since I was thirteen
'Cause I may not feel it now, covered up the wounds with my long sleeves
But I know it's waiting there, swimming through my bloodstream
And it's gonna come for me, yeah, it's gonna come for me
What did you have that I didn't?
And why am I so blue?
Someone's talking in my forehead
That says I'll never be like you
Happiness is like a firefly
On summer evenings
Feel it slippin' through my fingers
But I can't catch it in my hands
Catch it in my
Old memories, ribbons runnin' down from my bare knees
I ran too fast, fell down on my face in the concrete
I guess the lesson's learned, I've barely left my room in the past week
And I've got my guard up, tryin' all the time to stay clean
But I don't feel anything, I don't feel anything
What did you have that I didn't?
And why am I so fucked?
There's someone talking in my forehead
That says I'll never be enough
And happiness is like a firefly
On summer evenings
Feel it slippin' through my fingers
But I can't catch it in my hands
Catch it in my
