BLOOD
Escapists Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Because that's when, you feel loved up
We've been up all night slurring vocabulary
Have you seen your eyes, they're kind of scary
We're sleeping and speaking in tongues
Can feel you moving in my blood, In my blood stream
Because they play us for damn fools
We've been up all night slurring vocabulary
Have you seen your eyes, they're kind of scary
We're sleeping and speaking in tongues
Can feel you moving in my blood, In my blood stream
The lyrics of Escapists' song "Blood" depicts a desire to temporarily escape reality and give in to the moment. The lyrics convey a sense of wanting to wait until the sun comes up because that is when one feels loved up. The idea behind this is that when the night fades, and a new day dawns, there is a renewed sense of hope and motivation. The lyrics speak of being up all night, slurring their vocabulary, and having scary eyes. This could be interpreted as being under the influence of some intoxicating substance that has altered their normal behavior.
The lyrics also talk about breaking their own rules because they feel played by outside forces. This could be interpreted as a desire to go against the norm and do something unconventional. The line "In my blood stream" suggests that whatever they did, it had a profound impact on them, and it has become a part of them. The lyrics can also be interpreted as a desire to escape the anxieties and pressures of daily life and indulge in something that makes them feel alive.

Saw them at The Stillery, Camden Town on 12th November 2014. Great high-energy stuff - the crowd loved them. Good-looking lads too - deserve to do well.
