Blood
Equador Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Taste the Blood in my spit
Between the cracks of my lips
Something's drumming a warning
Pull me over your skin
Bruise me so I can feel
We lie awake ‘til the morning

I'm not afraid of what it feels like
I'm not afraid of it at all

Let my fingertips trace
The shadows over your face
We twist and turn in the twilight
Still the aura can move
The sun creeps into the room
Something's breaking the silence

I'm not afraid of what it feels like
I'm not afraid of it at all

Oh, how far does this road go?
It's never ending
This is how it starts
Don't know where it goes
This is how it is
Never let me go

When something beautiful died
You held me down ‘til I cried
I couldn't move without burning
The covers over my head
Grazed my skin ‘til it bled
Until the seasons were turning

I'm not afraid of what it feels like
I'm not afraid of it at all

Oh, how far does this road go?
It's never ending
This is how it starts
Don't know where it goes
This is how it is
Never let me go

This is how it starts
This is how it starts
This is how it starts
Don't know where it goes
This is how it is
Never let me go

Oh, how far does this road go?
It's never ending
This is how it starts
Don't know where it goes




This is how it is
Never let me go

Line by Line Meaning

Taste the Blood in my spit
I can taste the pain and suffering that I'm going through.


Between the cracks of my lips
It's a hidden agony that only comes out in moments of weakness.


Something's drumming a warning
I sense something is horribly wrong, but I can't stop myself or turn back.


Pull me over your skin
I want to feel close to you, let me touch you and hold onto you.


Bruise me so I can feel
Sometimes I need to feel the pain to remind myself that I'm alive.


We lie awake ‘til the morning
We share each other's pain in silence, staying up all night lost in our thoughts.


I'm not afraid of what it feels like
I've been through so much pain and suffering that nothing scares me anymore.


Let my fingertips trace
Let me explore and touch every inch of your body.


The shadows over your face
I want to know every curve and line of your face, even the dark ones.


We twist and turn in the twilight
We lose track of time and space and become one entity in the dim and fading light.


Still the aura can move
Even when everything seems perfect, I still sense something is not right.


The sun creeps into the room
Morning comes too quickly, and reality sets in once again.


Something's breaking the silence
Our peace is always temporary, and something always destroys it.


Oh, how far does this road go?
I don't know where my life is heading, or how much more pain I can handle.


It's never ending
The cycle of pain and suffering seems unbreakable, and I've accepted that fact.


Don't know where it goes
I'm lost and directionless, and I have no idea where my life is leading.


Never let me go
Even in the midst of all this suffering, I can't let go of the one thing that gives me hope and comfort--you.


When something beautiful died
I lost something precious to me, and I'm struggling to move on from that loss.


You held me down ‘til I cried
Only you can comfort me in my grief, and sometimes that means making me face my pain head-on.


I couldn't move without burning
The pain is overwhelming, and I can't function without feeling it acutely.


The covers over my head
I'm hiding from everything, especially myself, and I'm not ready to face the world yet.


Grazed my skin ‘til it bled
You know me so well that you can push me to my limit, and I know that you have my best interests at heart.


Until the seasons were turning
Even though my pain seems endless, time heals all wounds, and eventually things will change.


This is how it starts
Every new beginning brings a mix of fear and anticipation, and I never know where it will lead.


Never let me go
No matter what happens, I need you by my side, holding me up and giving me strength to face another day.

Taste the Blood in my spit
Between the cracks of my lips
Somethings drumming a warning
Pull me over your skin
Bruise me so I can feel
We lie awake ‘til the morning

I’m not afraid of what it feels like...
I’m not afraid of it at all...

Let my fingertips trace
The shadows over your face
We twist and turn in the twilight
Still the aura can move
The sun creeps into the room
Somethings breaking the silence

I’m not afraid of what it feels like...
I’m not afraid of it at all...

Oh, how far does this road go?
It’s never ending
This is how it starts
Don’t know where it goes
This is how it is
Never let me go

When something beautiful died
You held me down ‘til I cried
Couldn’t move without burning
The covers over my head
Grazed my skin ‘til it bled
Until the seasons were turning

I’m not afraid of what it feels like...
I’m not afraid of it at all...

Oh, how far does this road go?
It’s never ending
This is how it starts
Don’t know where it goes
This is how it is
Never let me go

Another brilliant production from Ecuador. The creators of this very cool music I think are somehow connected to more than the usual dimensions of space and time......
