In The Name Of Love
Dots Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We've got blood on our hands
We've got blood on our hands
Love died in our arms
Love died in our arms
We got blood on our hands
We've both got blood on our hands
This love died in our arms
This love died in our arms

A little water, A little water
It's sure to clear us of this
A little water, A little water
It's sure to clear us of this

So this was love
This was love
I can't feel the pulse now
So this was love
This was love
Ssh, I can't hear a sound now
This was love
This was love
Look but I can't see my breath now
So this was love, this was love
And it's gone, gone

Weaving in between these notes
Whispering to me
Creepers and climbers
I can hear
Love's stubborn ghost
Voices through the trees...

We've got blood on our hands
We've got blood on our hands
Love died in our hearts
Love died in our hearts
We got blood on our hands
We both got blood on our hands
This love it died in our arms
This love it died in our arms

So this was love
This was love
I can't feel the pulse now
So this was love
This was love
Ssh, I can't hear a sound now
This was love
This was love
Look but I can't see my breath now
So this was love, this was love
And it's gone, gone

.And (whispered B)
I am a man
I cry alone
I triumph and conquer
Here on my own
But what is this
That alters my path? (I can't feel the pulse now)
Shaking the tree
Of such a great man (I can't see my breath now)
If being Godless
Used to set me free (I can't see my breath now)
What is this alter
I find here in front of me?

So sweet is the taste
So firm the shape
This low hanging fruit
Such succulent flesh
On my skin to rest
Lush low hanging fruit
In orchards at night
I steal just one bite




This low hanging fruit
We've got blood on our hands

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to the song 'In The Name of Love' by Dots suggest that the singer and their partner are responsible for the end of their love. The repetition of "we've got blood on our hands" highlights the idea that they are culpable for the death of the love they shared. The second verse, "so this was love, and it's gone, gone" emphasizes the finality of their relationship's end.


The chorus's use of the imagery of water as something that will "clear us of this" suggests that the singers are seeking redemption, a way to absolve themselves of their guilt. The image of "love's stubborn ghost" and the "voices through the trees" suggest that they are haunted by the memory of their love's failure.


The whispered third verse is somewhat cryptic, but it seems to suggest a personal struggle for the singer. They describe themselves as a "great man" who is somehow being "altered" by something they have encountered. The line "if being Godless used to set me free" implies that the singer is questioning the value of their former beliefs or values. The 'low-hanging fruit' imagery in the fourth verse could suggest temptation or desire that led to the relationship's downfall.
