“Bloom” tells the story of Raveena reflecting on a former abusive relationship, both physically and emotionally.
It utilizes imagery of a flower to show Raveena moving past her ex-lover.
[Verse 1]
So you think you got a hold on me?
Really dug into my brain
I'm attuned to all the bullshit
I’m in tune with earth and rain
Now you're telling everybody that you know me
What's the use in that?
I don’t wanna hear from you or hear your name
That's the truth, get used to that
[Chorus]
Baby, don't touch me
You don't know how
You can't love me now
Baby, don't hold me
You don't hold me down
You can't love me now
[Verse 2]
No, you can’t control me (No, no)
Subtle things you say to break me down
It don’t really phase me (Ooh)
Now I'm blooming 12 feet off the ground
Don’t want no fake sympathy
No late apologies
Don't try to fool me with that game
I tried out everything
Good sex and good therapy
Took a bit to get to say and
[Chorus]
Baby, don't touch me
You don't know how
You can’t love me now
Baby, don't hold me
You don't hold me down
You can't love me now
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
[Bridge]
Ooh
Told myself I'm deserving of
Ooh
Wrap myself in music and sun
Ooh
What good is living without love?
Ooh
What good is it?
[Chorus]
Baby, don't touch me
You don't know how
You can't love me now
Baby, don't hold me
You don't hold me down
You can't love me now
(Ah, ah, ah, ah)
