Bubble Gum Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sorry I didn't kiss you
But it's obvious I wanted to
Bubble gum down my throat and it's a curse
But my luck couldn't get any worse

[Chorus]
'Cause I swallowed the bubble gum
Oh, and these seven years will be pretty dumb
Pink flowers grow from my skin
Pepto bismol veins and I grin

[Verse 2]
You look so nice in your shirt
It's sad because it just hurts
I'd do anything for you
But would you do that for me, too?

[Chorus]
'Cause I swallowed the bubble gum
Oh, and these seven years will be pretty dumb
Pink flowers grow from my skin
Pepto bismol veins and I grin

Cover art for Bubble Gum lyrics by Clairo

I can relate to this song. I think it has many different meanings “Bubblegum down my throat and it’s a curse” might mean that she feels that it’s too late to make an impression on the person she wants to be with. I think she feels frustrated because she “missed her chance”, if that makes sense. “I’d do anything for you, but would you do that for me too?” Maybe this hints at the fact that the person she’s interested in was at one point interested in her, but she turned them down or didn’t talk to them.

“Sorry I didn’t kiss you, but it’s obvious I wanted to” further proves my theory. This lyric is especially symbolic because it straight up summarizes the whole songs meaning. The lyric also shows her guilt for turning down/ignoring the person, and also shows her longing to be with the person.

In summary, I believe this song is a great representation of frustration, guilt, and longing feelings. This song is short but we’ll written. I feel every word.
