In Bloom (Jabiz)

I have always been drawn to the imagery of the words in the very short lines, especially in the two short versus:

Weather
Spring
Reproductive
Nature
Bruises
Tender

These words all remind me of nature and cycles. He might be showing the contract between things blooming (spring, nature, reproduction, fruit etc.... and them changing (bruising, change in weather, eating kids for food etc....)

It feels like a song is about innocence fading. The end of childhood. Bloom to rot. Life to death.

Could the "he" in the song be about God? Maybe that's a reach.

What do you think?

I also love the video and of course the live version. I saw many bands in the 90's but I never saw Nirvana. Their live shows seem like an amazing experience. Take a look- what do you notice about their stage presence, their style?
