Love Yourself
Am I Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In front of natural human
The wrong side of forty years
There's something wrong with me
I don't know what I should believe
Where I want there's not much to see
Think I knew before it was over
If you understood how to say
Written order between the lines
Leave this hell without fear
If you feel you can be on my side
Love yourself before you hate
All these visions passing by a mind
With a turtle eyes I could see
Anyhow it's on the way
What could better be
Love yourself before you hate
The lyrics of "Love Yourself" by Am I Blood touch on themes of self-reflection and self-acceptance. The song talks about turning to oneself in the face of the natural human condition and the challenges of middle age. The old breed, presumably the singer, finds himself in a state of confusion, not knowing what to believe or which direction to take. He acknowledges his flaws and weaknesses, stating that "there's something wrong with me."
The singer reflects on missed opportunities and bittersweet memories, acknowledging that if he'd understood how to say what he wanted, things would have been different. However, despite his regrets, he decides to move forward and leave his past behind; he encourages others to join him on this journey towards self-acceptance, urging them to "love yourself before you hate." The song's closing lines express a sense of optimism and possibility, stating that "anyhow it's on the way, what could better be."
Overall, "Love Yourself" is a powerful reflection on the importance of self-love and acceptance, particularly in the face of life's challenges and setbacks.
Line by Line Meaning
Turning to myself the old breed is standing
Facing myself, the older generation that I belong to is in front of me
In front of natural human
Faced with the reality of being a human being
The wrong side of forty years
I am over forty and feeling like something is amiss
There's something wrong with me
I feel like there is something not quite right about myself
I don't know what I should believe
I am unsure about what I should believe
Where I want there's not much to see
I am not finding what I am looking for
Think I knew before it was over
I had an idea before it was too late
If you understood how to say
If you know how to communicate it
Written order between the lines
The hidden message in the written message
Leave this hell without fear
Escape from this situation without being afraid
If you feel you can be on my side
If you think you can support me
Love yourself before you hate
Make sure you love yourself before directing hate towards others
All these visions passing by a mind
So many thoughts and ideas are floating around in my head
With a turtle eyes I could see
I can see things slowly and clearly
Anyhow it's on the way
In any case, things are happening
What could better be
What could be improved?

Here are the lyrics people, thanks for the love!
It's all I see
It's all I need
Don't make sound
I've been looking for something everyone knows
And you to me
Are family
It's all clearer now
We've been going to places nobody goes
Was it real or did I just make it up
And I don't know how it happened
But you got into my blood
And I feel like you're lifting me up
Now every time I close my eyes
I know that I'll wake up
With you in my blood
With you in my blood
And honestly
I can't believe
Where we are now
We've been growing together all of this time
And you to me are family
I love what I've found
I could never lose you even if I tried
Was it real or did I just make it up
And I don't know how it happened
But you got into my blood
And I feel like you're lifting me up
Now every time I close my eyes
I know that I'll wake up
With you in my blood
In my blood
Was it real or did I just make it up
And I don't know how it happened
But you got into my blood
And I feel like you're lifting me up
Now every time I close my eyes
I know that I'll wake up
Was it real or did I just make it up
And I don't know how it happened
But you got into my blood
And I feel like you're lifting me up
Now every time I close my eyes
I know that I'll wake up
With you in my blood
With you in my blood
