Blood Stains Blondes
Deathstars Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wipe the blood away from your eyes
I never could
Tell the truth when there are still some lies
Burn down all the halls, then destroy
(I want to show it to you)
Tear down all the walls, then enjoy
(I want to push it through)
Invite the light
When blood stains blood tonight
Halo
Will I carry the ring
Halo
Do the perfect thing
Blood stains blood
You've always said
That time will wound yet all will heal
You always will,
Swallow my lies with a twist of steel
Cut deep into the flesh, ride the spikes
(I want to show it to you)
Lick hard the open wounds, slay the lights
(I want to push it through)
Invite the light
When blood stains blood tonight
Halo
Will I carry the ring
Halo
Do the perfect thing
Blood stains blood!
The model is the serpent
The alibi is the saint
The object is the martyr
The blood is paint
The lyrics of Deathstars' song "Blood Stains Blondes" describe a twisted relationship filled with deceit, violence, and a fascination with darkness. The lyrics talk about never wiping the blood away from the other person's eyes – this can be interpreted as a metaphor for keeping the other person trapped in their pain and trauma. The line "Tell the truth when there are still some lies" shows that the two people are stuck in a cycle of lies and deception, where the truth remains elusive.
The lyrics then talk about burning down all the halls and tearing down all the walls, representing the destruction that is necessary to fully indulge in the darkness. The lines "Invite the light when blood stains blood tonight, halo, will I carry the ring" show a desire to embrace the darkness and see it as a kind of halo or badge of honor. The mention of the ring could represent a desire for power and control.
The second verse talks about the other person swallowing the lies with a twist of steel, suggesting that they are aware of the deception but still choose to go along with it. The lines "Cut deep into the flesh, ride the spikes, lick hard the open wounds, slay the lights" indicate a desire for pain and violence.
Overall, the song portrays a toxic relationship that revels in violence and darkness, with both parties seemingly enjoying the cycle of deceit and destruction.
