Meet The Writer: Caroline Bierly
My song, “First Sight,” is a story of my previous relationship that ended mid-October last year. It felt like a fairytale the whole way through until a bomb was dropped on me and ended it abruptly. I wanted to relive the good moments but end with the bad. I chose to make a punk rock/pop-punk song, not only because it is my favorite genre, but also because I think it fits the theme of being a cheesy love story (then a bitter heartbreak). I wanted to make the song chronological in the order of events that occurred so that listeners could go through the events that I went through, minus the feeling of heartbreak and the world crashing down, of course. I hope that by reading my lyrics, people can get a sense of what I went through, and maybe some people can relate to the emotions I felt during that time.
LYRICS
The first time, I saw you
I think I looked right through you.
Didn't hug you, or kiss you
A simple 'hi' was all I knew.
Squeezed into, the back of
My best friend's old white car.
Didn't really know what I should say to you.
Was it, love at first sight
Or am I crazy?
Was it, meant to be?
​
Flash forward like 3 months
You spent the night in my room
I was nervous, you sent me
Into a state of anxiety
Lights out, you held me
I did not fall asleep
All I wanted was to lie with you
Was it love at, first sight,
Or am I crazy?
Was it, meant to be?
​
That one night, you called me
I cried myself to sleep
I was worried, you were drinking
And you spilled it all to me
Heartbroken, and lonely
You know you just lost me
​
For days you tried to get me back
Turns out, it was, not true, love.
We weren't meant to be.
