Bloodstain
Alice Temple; UNKLE Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

They say if you took it all away
This love would fall apart
I say, no way
You don't know the size of my heart.
Vicious, suspicious
It doesn't matter what I say
Users and losers
There's nothing here to make me stay.
Bloodstain on a blue vein
Take it with no shame
Love tracks on a loose train
Bloodstain
No gain with no pain
My scars are deeper than you think
Tie me, try me
One more time before I sink.
Big lies, big times
This love is not what we're about
It's too late, and I'm too straight
It's time to blow this fire out.
Bloodstain on a blue vein
Take it with no shame
Love tracks on a loose train
Bloodstain on a blue vein
Take me softly
I'm going crazy for your touch.
Bloodstain on a blue vein
(Blue, blood, blue, blood, blue, blood)
Take it with no shame
(No, take, no, take, no, take)
I'm alone
And dissatisfied
And someone else is alone




And dissatisfied
You are alone?

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of UNKLE's song "Bloodstain" are a haunting portrayal of a person who feels trapped in their own existence, surrounded by users and losers. The singer admits to having a bloodstain on their blue vein, a love track on a loose train that represents their physical and emotional scars. They are dissatisfied with their life and their love, and they are longing for something more significant. However, the song implies that they feel powerless to change their situation and that they are resigned to their fate.


The lyrics emphasize the pain and suffering that come with love, and the fact that sometimes people remain in a situation that is not good for them, their scars deeper than others may think. The lyrics "It's too late, and I'm too straight, it's time to blow this fire out" suggest that the singer has had enough; they have always tried to fight for their love, but now, the fire has gone out, and they are ready to let go. The song’s overall tone is a melancholic one, emphasizing the singer's feelings of hopelessness and despair.
