FVLCRVM is one of those guys who can't get himself to use the same pattern twice.

Bad Blood
FVLCRVM Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Can you hear the bells, they chime

Calling in the nick of time

Feeding on our deepest fear

There′s only one way out of here

I don't know how to get things straight

We talk but don′t communicate, no

Less space left for common ground

Please
Can we
Try it one more time
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let's try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let's try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let′s try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let′s try to

Let's try to

When we feel the slightest doubt

We fix things by throwing them out, oh

With every clash that′s brushed aside

The paper walls can get so wide

The more we portray different shades

The more we tear down barricades, yeah

Apathy will drag us down

Please
Let us
Stop before we drown
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let's try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let′s try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let's try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let′s try to

Let's try to

Let's try to

Let′s try to

Let′s try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood

Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let's try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let′s try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let's try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let′s try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let's try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let′s try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let's try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let's try to
Stop the mad flood
Of our bad blood
Let′s try to

Let′s try to

Line by Line Meaning

Can you hear the bells, they chime
Do you notice the warning signs?

Calling in the nick of time
Urgently calling for our attention

Feeding on our deepest fear
Exploiting our greatest insecurities

There's only one way out of here
There's only one solution to escape this situation

I don't know how to get things straight
I'm unsure how to resolve our issues

We talk but don't communicate, no
We speak, but our words lack true understanding

Less space left for common ground
We're growing apart, with limited shared beliefs

Please
I beg you

Can we
Can we please

Try it one more time
Give our relationship another chance

Stop the mad flood
Put an end to the overwhelming flow

Of our bad blood
Of the animosity between us

Let's try to
Let us attempt to

When we feel the slightest doubt
When any uncertainty creeps in

We fix things by throwing them out, oh
We discard and ignore our problems

With every clash that's brushed aside
Each disagreement we ignore

The paper walls can get so wide
The barriers between us grow stronger

The more we portray different shades
The more we emphasize our differences

The more we tear down barricades, yeah
The more we break down the walls between us

Apathy will drag us down
Lack of interest and concern will lead to our downfall

Please
I implore you

Let us
Allow us to

Stop before we drown
Put an end to this before we're overwhelmed
