In My Blood
Shawn Mendes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing
I'm overwhelmed and insecure, give me something
I could take to ease my mind slowly
Just have a drink and you'll feel better
Just take her home and you'll feel better
Keep telling me that it gets better
Does it ever?
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
I'm looking through my phone again, feeling anxious
Afraid to be alone again, I hate this
I'm tryna find a way to chill, can't breathe, oh
Is there somebody who could help me?
It's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
I need somebody now
Someone to help me out
I need somebody now
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood, oh, oh
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
It isn't in my blood

For everyone that’s saying the video is bad and it’s too simple : the song is about overcoming the fear of panic attacks and anxiety. He says “in my blood” because giving up isn’t in his blood. When the rocks are falling or there is rain, they represent the struggles throughout the expierence. There is flowers at the end of the video showing he overcame the fear. The video is simple, but powerful
@okayfloatstudios3097
Jaren Kade We get the metaphoric yet literal music video.. Doesn’t change how boring it is. He’s like the male equivalent of Adele. Powerful vocalists yet the visuals are always lacking.
@madladiesscientists6894
Jaren Kade so true, this is why I love this kid, so genuine and truthful with his music and lyrics. :)

I AGREE WITH YOU 1000 %. I thought of the same thing too.
