Bubbles Lyrics

Well how's your view of thing today
Got up young to fade away
The sinners sin but aren't aware
Our fables take us everywhere
I can't keep up with you
I can't keep up

I can't compete with history
We'll film it live but dub our tale
The mystery must stay inside
Look at our homes, look at our lives
In control of the morning
In control of the sea

You are creating all the bubbles at night
I'm chasing round trying to pop them all the time
We don't need to trust a single word they say
You are creating all the bubbles at play

There's a girl, there's a girl
There's a girl, there's a girl
And she's down by the river
In her own creepy world
There's a girl, there's a girl
And she's down by the river
It's time to consider
That baby is a sinner
She'll wash away your sins
And go home

I only once upset my kin
Accused him of a moral slip
Well he came back and claimed a change
I know his life's the same again
I can't ask him again
I should let it go

You are creating all the bubbles at night
I'm chasing round trying to pop them all the time
We don't need to trust a single word they say
You are creating all the bubbles at play

There's a girl, there's a girl
There's a girl, there's a girl
And she's down by the river
In her own creepy world
There's a girl, there's a girl
And she's down by the river
It's time to consider
That baby is a sinner

There's a girl, there's a girl
There's a girl, there's a girl (She'll wash away your sins)
She's face down in the river (She'll wash away your sins and go home)

What is the Meaning of Bubbles?

This evocative piece from Biffy Clyro delves into the complexities of human relationships and the struggle with personal shortcomings. The lyrics suggest an individual's attempt to keep up with another who is constantly creating 'bubbles' or illusions, possibly portraying a relationship fraught with deceit or misunderstanding. The recurring theme of sin suggests guilt and repentance, while the girl by the river could symbolize innocence lost or a beacon of redemption. The song also hints at societal pressures and norms ('we don't need to trust a single word they say'), emphasizing the importance of personal judgment over conformity. Ultimately, "Bubbles" paints a picture of life's trials, tribulations and the quest for truth amidst chaos.
