The first verse of “Bliss” does a fair amount of world-building. My soul is shining, changed my life with perfect timing Nowhere on the album, though, is the enigma of love more celebrated than on “Bliss.” Driven by lyrics that blend an earthbound encounter with the otherworldly sensation of love striking like a comet, not to mention a dank bassline, the song’s charm is inescapable. The clearest example of this is found on the aforementioned “Cosmic,” as Mark sings, “No, I can’t find the logic/ It feels so very cosmic/ Oh, the way you love me/ Feels so very cosmic.” Even on “Worth It,” she describes the act of self-love as a feeling that’ll “send you out to space” despite it being such a difficult thing to wrap your head around. Instead, her pairing of love and space is more about the mystery of both it’s the idea that love, much like life beyond our blue sky, presents a sense of possibility that’s as alluring as it is unsolvable. She also doesn’t talk of feeling small amid the vastness of the universe. Unlike other artists who resort to this sort of thing, she isn’t suggesting on songs like “ Out Of This World” and “ Cosmic” that she’s found a love so pure and precious that it must be from another planet.
But there’s something different about the way Amber Mark toys with this motif on Three Dimensions Deep. Plus, everyone from The Beatles to The-Dream has already put their spin on space to varying degrees of success. Usually, extraterrestrial terms of endearment don’t land for me, as they quite literally alienate the human experience of falling in love. On "Ego," Lucky Daye Balances Self-Love And Selflessness
