Foxblood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I told you, you were not alone and I would find a home in your heart of stone
And while you feel a coma's embrace like the hands of your mother
We're swept along with silent waves to graves inside the hearts of others
I will dance in your veins
I will dance in your veins
Liar, liar, we will turn to smoke and be carried across the atlas on the wind
Sail on, into these dreams
I've been asleep or dead, or somewhere in between
Retrace your steps, across the trails
We left upon the shore
Though thoughts run fathoms deep
You'll find we don't drown alone anymore
We are so self-destructive in so many ways
The sickness lasts for days and days
The sickness lasts for days and days and days
Sail on, sail on
Sail on, sail on
Sail on, sail on
Sail on, sail on
Sail on, sail on
Sail on, sail on
Sail on, sail on, I made the bed that I'll lie in
Sail on, sail on, in the house that I'll die in
Sail on, sail on, I need no home in the sky
Sail on, sail on, no I don't wish to be timeless
No I don't wish to be timeless
Sail on, sail on
No I don't wish to be timeless
Sail on, sail on
Sail on, sail on
Sail on, sail on
The opening lines describe a shared experience of bidding farewell to the winter season on a metaphorical edge, implying a transition to a new phase or season in life. The singer then seeks to comfort their partner, assuring them that they are not alone and that they will find a home in their heart of stone (a reference to emotional barriers or struggles). However, the following line suggests that the partner is in a comatose-like state, perhaps due to the weight of their past or present struggles. Despite this, the singer is determined to stay with them as they are swept along with "silent waves" to graves inside the hearts of others, which can be interpreted as the burdens and traumas that people carry within themselves.
The chorus then comes in, with the singer proclaiming their desire to "dance in your veins" as a symbol of connection and intimacy. The second verse references the fragility of their situation, with the words "This could all end up underwater love" suggesting the potential for emotional drowning or suffocation. Despite this, the singer dismisses the fear of their mortality, calling themselves a "liar" and implying that their love will transcend the physical realm and be carried across the world by the wind.
The bridge and final chorus focus on the idea of moving forward despite the weight of past struggles and self-destructive tendencies. The singer encourages their partner to retrace their steps and find solace in their shared experiences. However, the singer highlights the depth of their emotional struggles with the line "The sickness lasts for days and days," before ultimately rejecting the idea of being "timeless" and expressing their desire to live fully in the present.
Line by Line Meaning
We found ourselves on the same edge, bidding farewell to winter again
We both ended up in the same situation, saying goodbye to winter once more
And I told you, you were not alone and I would find a home in your heart of stone
I reassured you that you're not alone and I'll be with you even though you seem cold-hearted
And while you feel a coma's embrace like the hands of your mother
As you feel like you're in a deep sleep that's comforting like a mother's embrace
We're swept along with silent waves to graves inside the hearts of others
We're carried away by the unnoticed influence of others until we end up in their emotional graves
I will dance in your veins
I will make you feel alive and energized
The words on the tip of your tongue, "This could all end up underwater love"
You almost said we might drown in this relationship
Liar, liar, we will turn to smoke and be carried across the atlas on the wind
You lied because we're not going to drown, but instead, we'll transform like smoke and travel the world
Sail on, into these dreams
Keep moving forward, into the dreams we have
I've been asleep or dead, or somewhere in between
I haven't been fully aware or alive, something in-between
Retrace your steps, across the trails
Let's revisit the paths we've taken
We left upon the shore
The ones we left behind, on the shore
Though thoughts run fathoms deep
Although our thoughts are complex and deep
You'll find we don't drown alone anymore
You'll realize that we're not alone and we won't sink on our own
We are so self-destructive in so many ways
We harm ourselves in multiple ways
The sickness lasts for days and days
This sickness we have lingers and affects us for days on end
Sail on, sail on
Keep going, keep going
Sail on, sail on, I made the bed that I'll lie in
I made the choices that will lead to my fate
Sail on, sail on, in the house that I'll die in
In the end, I'll die in the home I've made
Sail on, sail on, I need no home in the sky
I don't need or want a home in the afterlife
Sail on, sail on, no I don't wish to be timeless
I don't want to live forever, keep moving forward
No I don't wish to be timeless
I don't want to be immortal
