Flesh and Blood
Calabrese Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Wild, like wolves in rain
You'll see me eyes, burn like a flame
And I love
Your flesh and blood
I will play your game

Well, your love
Is like an animal
You are mine
Until the end of the world
Yeah, your love
Is like an animal
And the world
Is just an animal

Down
Way down below
You know you're the one to hold
Digging deep
Into the dirt
You make me move, move, move
Rattle and hurt

Well, your love
Is like an animal
You are mine
Until the end of the world
Yeah, your love (Yeah, your love)
Is like an animal
And the world (And the world)
Is just an animal

Well, your love
Is like an animal
You are mine
Until the end of the world
Yeah, your love (Yeah, your love)
Is like an animal




And the world (And the world)
Is just an animal

We were listening to a lot of moodier, darker bands when we wrote “Flesh and Blood.” Lots of Sisters of Mercy, early Cure, the droning and atmospheric stuff that builds on being simple and effective. We wanted to go for a kind of somber vibe, a bleak mix of heavy rock and post-punk. Type-O-Negative is a big influence on that straightforward riff. We filmed it during the recording of ‘Lust For Sacrilege,’ something we’ve never done before. We liked the idea of going for something with a Doors-meets-Danzig feel, something to capture loneliness, desolation, misery. We think it caught the attitude of the song perfectly. Turn out the lights and enjoy. -Bobby

I don't understand how this band is so consistent, they put out an album every year and every song on every album is fucking dope. It's so good it pisses me off.
