Shed Some Blood
Rhye Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sitting in your space asking myself why
Sitting in your space asking myself why you can stave off
Ooh, I'm walking through that door (I don't wanna be)
ooh, I'm shattered to the core

Ooh, we shed some tears baby
Ooh, we shed some tears baby, oh
Let's shed some blood
(Move) move my way
Move my way
Move my way
Move my way

Speeding my home on this road to oblivion
Don't want to hear your voice on the phone
I want to be your choice not just a moan
Oh oh

Don't call me love unless you mean it
Don't call me love unless you mean it
Don't call me love unless you mean it
Don't call me love unless you mean it
At least not to my face

Ooh, we shed some tears baby
Ooh, we shed some tears baby, oh
Let's shed some blood
(Move) move my way
Move my way
Move my way (move my way)
So move

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Rhye’s Shed Some Blood are ambiguous and open to interpretation. The song primarily deals with the complexities of romantic relationships and the pain that comes with them. The singer starts off by sitting in their space, reflecting on the reasons why the relationship is not working out. The lyrics "Why you can stave off" suggest that the other partner might be avoiding dealing with the issues at hand. Then the singer expresses their desire to walk away from the relationship, as they are "shattered to the core."


The chorus begins with the words "Ooh, we shed some tears baby" and repeats throughout the song. Shedding tears is a metaphor for the emotional stress and pain that both partners feel while in the relationship. The line "Let's shed some blood" may suggest that the pain experienced in the relationship is not enough and that there is a need to go to the extreme to get out of the situation.


The second verse is about the singer's realization that they are speeding towards oblivion, or a state of nothingness. They do not want to hear the other person's voice on the phone as it signifies the continuation of the unfruitful relationship. The line "I want to be your choice not just a moan" suggests that the singer wants to be more than just a temporary pleasure for the other person.


The bridge introduces a new aspect to the song, where the singer demands honesty from their partner. They say "Don't call me love unless you mean it" repeatedly, suggesting that the other person should not use the term of endearment lightly or without sincerity. This adds to the emotional stress of the relationship and could hint at past hurt.


Overall, Shed Some Blood is a beautiful yet painful and complex song that deals with the struggles of romantic relationships, emotional pain, and the need for honesty in love.
