Well, how's your view of things today?
You 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 tryna 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
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 (wash away your sins)
She'll wash away your sins (wash away your sins)
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 tryna 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
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
(Wash away your sins, wash away your sins)
She's face down in the river (wash away your sins and go home)
Thank you
(I love your shoes)
This is gonna end so much quicker than we wanted it to
We've got a few more songs for you guys
About This Song
"Bubbles" is an introspective rock anthem that explores themes of disconnection, the struggle to keep pace with life's demands, and the tension between reality and illusion. The lyrics convey a sense of being overwhelmed and unable to compete with the weight of history and expectation, while the metaphor of "creating bubbles" suggests the fragile, temporary nature of our attempts to control or escape our circumstances. Musically, the track showcases Biffy Clyro's signature blend of melodic alternative rock with heavier, more complex arrangements, featuring dynamic shifts between contemplative verses and soaring choruses. The song's emotional core lies in its honest portrayal of feeling left behind and the human desire to find meaning and control in an increasingly chaotic world. It stands as one of the band's most emotionally resonant tracks from their breakthrough album, capturing the existential anxiety that defined much of their work during this period.
