Sweet Ophelia Lyrics

Believe me now, you're too young girl
Cherry pie and your gold curls
Growin' up like a grapevine
Wrapped around you in due time

Sweet Ophelia!
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away
Sweet Ophelia!
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away

Up, up away
Up, up away

Singing like it's a full moon (singing like it's a full moon)
Careless now that he has you (careless now that he has you)
Turns you on to the right songs (turns you on to the right songs)
Promises that you're hooked on (promises that you're hooked on)

Sweet Ophelia!
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away
Sweet Ophelia!
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away

Up, up away
Up, up away

Sweet Ophelia!
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away
Sweet Ophelia!
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away
Sweet Ophelia!
When young blood escapes
Vows that break
Go up, up away

Up, up away
Up, up away
Up, up away
Up, up away

What is the Meaning of Sweet Ophelia?

Caught in the throes of adolescent turmoil, aren't we? This ditty by Zella Day is a poetic ode to young love and its inevitable heartbreak. The song's protagonist, our dear Ophelia, is portrayed as an innocent girl, seduced by the sweet nothings of youth. The chorus "when young blood escapes, vows that break" captures the fleeting nature of teenage promises - they go "up, up away," just like balloons filled with hot air. It's a cautionary tale wrapped in a catchy tune reminding us all that growing up isn't always a piece of cherry pie. Remember folks, not all that glitters is gold(en curls). #YoungLove #HeartbreakAnthem #GrowingPains #NotSoGoldenCurls
