Drain The Blood
The Distillers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The kind that likes to restrict your breath
Never been a better time than this
Suffocate on eternal bliss
In a city
That swells with so much hate
You seem to rise above
And take its place
The heart pumps until it dies
Drain the blood, the heart is wise
All my friends are murder
All my bones no marrows in
All these fiends want teenage meat
All my friends are murderers
Away...
I never met a pearl quite like you
Who could shimmer and rot at the same time through
There's never been a better time than this
To bite the hand of a frostbitten eminence
All my friends are murder
All my bones no marrows in
All these fiends want teenage meat
All my friends are murderers
Away... Away... Away...
Whoooa whoa...
I'm alive in uterine
A stab in the dark a new day has dawned
Open up and let it flow
I'll make it yours so here we go...
All my friends are murder
All my bones no marrows in
All these fiends want teenage meat
All my friends are murderers
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone away
He's gone a -he's gone away
In "Drain The Blood," The Distillers explore themes of desperation, alienation, and self-destruction. When Brody Dalle sings "I'm living on shattered faith/ The kind that likes to restrict your breath," she suggests that her faith has been shattered and that she cannot breathe, implying that she is suffocating within herself. Dalle's lyrics also indicate that the song is about the dangers of conformity and how it can drive people to ruin, as seen in the line "All these fiends want teenage meat." Additionally, the line "All my friends are murderers" paints a picture of a place where the only thing that people have is each other and, in their desperation and isolation, they become predators.
The song captures the bleak outlook of someone who is caught up in a world they don't feel part of, where they see nothing but violence, disappointment, and greed. The lyrics are delivered with ferocity, matching the intensity of the frenzied guitar riffs. Similarly, the refrain "He's gone away" mirrors the feelings of being left behind and abandoned. The chorus emphasizes the song's themes by insisting that all of the singer's friends are murderers and that they are suffocating on eternal bliss, which is the illusion of happiness that often accompanies self-destructive behavior.
Line by Line Meaning
I'm living on shattered faith
I am struggling to believe in something that has been broken into small pieces
The kind that likes to restrict your breath
It is the kind of faith that suffocates you
Never been a better time than this
It is the perfect moment to do something
Suffocate on eternal bliss
One can be overwhelmed by happiness until it becomes painful
In a city
Within an urban area
That swells with so much hate
A place where anger and resentment are prevalent
You seem to rise above
You manage to keep your head high in spite of everything
And take its place
You become a part of the negative environment
The heart pumps until it dies
The heart will continue to work until it stops completely
Drain the blood, the heart is wise
Removing blood from the heart can reveal wisdom or knowledge
All my friends are murder
Everyone I know seems to be a killer
All my bones no marrows in
I feel empty and hollow inside
All these fiends want teenage meat
There are people who are interested in exploiting young and vulnerable individuals
I never met a pearl quite like you
I have never encountered someone unique and special like you before
Who could shimmer and rot at the same time through
You can exhibit both beauty and decay simultaneously
To bite the hand of a frostbitten eminence
To challenge an established authority despite being in a vulnerable position
Whoooa whoa...
A vocalization expressing excitement or emotion
I'm alive in uterine
I feel like I am still inside my mother's womb
A stab in the dark a new day has dawned
Taking a risk or making a gamble that ultimately leads to a fresh start
Open up and let it flow
Be receptive and allow something to happen or unfold
I'll make it yours so here we go...
I will give everything to you, let's do it together
He's gone away
Someone has left or disappeared
He's gone a -he's gone away
Repeating the phrase to emphasize the departure of someone
