Blood on My Hands
Esoterik Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're never alone. I'm thinking of you.
You'll feel better when I find you.
I brought you the stars, They're waiting for you
All I ask is that you please
Just sacrifice your life
You really didn't own it; you just loaned it.
Forsaken the vice, the struggle within;
Balance the scales and let love in.
We stand so far apart;
Blood on my hands, dripping from my heart.
The distance between us,
It doesn't take a psychic or genius.
Blood on my hands, dripping from my heart.
When I'm alone these thoughts that I chew,
I'm still hungry will I find you?
You ask for the stars, this I can do.
All I ask is that you please
Just sacrifice your life.
You really didn't own it; you just loaned it.
Foresaken the vice, the struggle within;
Balance the scales and let love in.
We stand so far apart;
Blood on my hands, dripping from my heart.
The distance between us,




It doesn't take a psychic or genius.
Blood on my hands, dripping from my heart.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "Blood on My Hands" by Esoterik captures the longing for a lost love that has left the singer with a sense of guilt and regret. The first two lines of the song, "You're never alone. I'm thinking of you," suggest that the singer is trying to reassure the person he is addressing that they are not alone, even though they may feel that way. He then goes on to say that they will feel better when he finds them, implying that they are currently separated.


The next two lines offer a metaphor for their situation: "I brought you the stars, They're waiting for you." This speaks to the idea that the singer has gone to great lengths to provide for this person, symbolized by the stars, yet they are separated and the stars remain "waiting" for them to be reunited. The singer then asks that the person "Just sacrifice your life" before pointing out that they are not really the owners of their life, but rather have only "loaned it." This suggests a larger philosophical idea that we do not really "own" anything in this life, but are simply borrowing time and resources.


The chorus of the song features the repeated line, "Blood on my hands, dripping from my heart," which appears to be a metaphor for the guilt and regret the singer feels about losing this person. The final lines of the chorus - "The distance between us, It doesn't take a psychic or genius" - suggest that the singer feels as though the reason for their separation is clear and obvious, and that reconnecting should not be difficult.


Overall, the lyrics of "Blood on My Hands" convey a sense of deep longing for a lost love, coupled with feelings of guilt and regret. The song speaks to the idea that we do not really "own" anything in this life, and that ultimately our relationships and connections with others are what matter most.
