Empire of the Sun’s latest track, "Cherry Blossom," takes listeners on an ethereal journey through mystical landscapes and profound love. Known for their unique blend of electronic pop and dreamlike lyrics, the duo once again delivers a song that is both musically enchanting and deeply poetic.
Opening with the imagery of a "Cherry blossom mountain top snow," the song immediately sets a serene and almost otherworldly scene. "Where you venture I will follow / We reach out to everyone / Everything everywhere / All at once all the time," captures the boundless nature of the connection and unity the song speaks of. It’s a declaration of unwavering companionship and a reflection of interconnectedness.
The chorus, "I’m not gonna lose your love tonight / Don’t wanna waste what’s hard to find / I love being beside you / Our souls are sowing our fortune," is both a vow and an expression of gratitude. The repeated affirmation of not wanting to lose this precious love highlights its rarity and value. The mention of souls sowing fortune adds a mystical element, suggesting that their love is not just emotional but also cosmic and fated.
In the verse, "Heaven above hello below / Where you venture I will follow / We already are someone / Everything everywhere / All at once all the time," the lyrics continue to explore the theme of unity and predestination. It speaks to the idea that love transcends physical boundaries and is inherently a part of who they are.
The bridge introduces a more complex, almost scientific imagery with "Heavy blushing quantum bit flow / Synesthesia into rainbows." These lines suggest a blending of the senses and a deep connection that transcends normal perception. The reference to quantum bits and synesthesia evokes a sense of infinite possibilities and vibrant experiences shared between lovers.
"Fire come into the black hole / Knowledge leaks the light to unknown / Its holy a lovers love / Everything everywhere / All at once all the time," further deepens the song's mystical quality. It speaks of transformation and enlightenment through love, suggesting that even in the darkest or most mysterious places (like a black hole), love can bring light and understanding.
The song concludes with the repeated affirmation of love’s importance and its foundational role in their lives. "I’m not gonna lose your love tonight / It’s been written since beginning of time / I love being beside you / Our souls are sowing our fortune," brings the listener full circle, reiterating the timeless and destined nature of their bond.
"Cherry Blossom" is a testament to Empire of the Sun’s ability to blend intricate lyrical content with their signature soundscapes. The song captures the essence of love as a powerful, unifying force that is both timeless and transcendent. With its rich imagery and evocative themes, "Cherry Blossom" stands out as a lyrical and musical triumph.
