Bloodlines
DￚN Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
He's messed up and I don't care
When love is put aside he ain't asking for more
He's a total waste, but he's still going strong
"I can't help it
Couldn't do it
I'm Jaywalking
In my most desperate hour I'm covered in pills."
When she comes back home it will catch her ear
Your fiddling will be spoiled in a future near
My bloodlines are acting a bit strange
They are spoken for, but not out of range
"I can't help it
Couldn't do it
I'm Jaywalking
Against my will
In my most desperate hour I'm covered in pills."
I can't help my: BEAT!
I can't stop my: BEAT!
I can't hold my: BEAT!
It's my damn heart: BEAT!
I told you not to play with our gun's girl
The song "Bloodlines" by DￚN tells a somewhat dark story of someone who has a best friend that's in a bad way, possibly due to drugs, and they don't care. The focus is on their friend being a "total waste" and yet still managing to keep going. This person admits to taking pills during their most desperate hour, highlighting the mental and emotional stress they are under. There is also foreshadowing of something bad happening in the future when the friend's partner comes back and their fiddling will be spoiled. The singer's bloodlines are acting strange, implying that their family history may be contributing to their current situation. There is a sense of despair and hopelessness throughout the lyrics.
Perhaps the most striking element of these lyrics is the lack of empathy shown towards the friend who is struggling. The singer's apathy is chilling, and it underlines the destructive nature of addiction and mental health issues. The reference to bloodlines also implies that there are deeper issues at play, possibly related to a family history that has led to the friend's predicament. The chorus with its focus on the singer's heartbeats adds a sense of urgency to the song, as if it's a race against time to sort out what's happening before it's too late.
