The Blood Brings Colour And Fluoresce

Jazmin Bean's 'The Blood Brings Colour And Fluoresce' is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of pain, resilience, and the transformative power of suffering. The song opens with a sense of self-assuredness and growth, as the narrator declares themselves 'bloomed, and well-prized.' This imagery of blooming flowers sets the stage for the central metaphor of the garden, which represents the narrator's life and experiences.

The garden is not just a place of beauty but also a burial ground for past traumas and sorrows. The line 'underneath are the bodies I have wept, and I won't hide it' suggests that the narrator's growth and beauty are nourished by their past pains. The repeated refrain, 'The blood brings colour and fluoresce,' emphasizes that it is through suffering and hardship that the narrator has found vibrancy and strength. This metaphorical blood, which brings color and fluorescence to the garden, symbolizes the transformative power of pain.

Jazmin Bean's lyrics also touch on themes of self-reliance and emotional resilience. The narrator's 'callous point of view' and their willingness to 'run it over with a blade' indicate a readiness to confront and overcome their own emotional barriers. The repeated assertion that they are 'okay to bruise' and 'okay to cope' underscores a hard-earned resilience. The song's dark yet empowering message is a testament to the idea that beauty and strength can emerge from even the most painful experiences.
