In Mijn Bloed
Frank Boeijen Groep Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ik droomde dat ik
Geen stem had vannacht
Niet meer praten kon
Ik was doofstom
Zag jou dansen

Ik droomde dat ik
Geen ogen meer had vannacht
Niet meer zien kon
Ik was blind
Terwijl ik wist

Je stroomt door mijn lichaam
Je bent in mijn bloed
Je stroomt door mijn lichaam
Je bent in mijn bloed

Ik droomde dat ik
Je verloren had vannacht
Je niet meer vinden kon
In de massa
Jij was daar

Ik droomde dat ik
Onder water was
Niet meer ademen kon




In een zee van bloed
In m'n aderen

Overall Meaning

The Frank Boeijen Groep's song, "In Mijn Bloed" is a beautiful composition that delves deeper into the lyrics to explore the themes of love, attachment, and loss. The singer begins by describing a dream where they were rendered voiceless, with no voice to speak or communicate. In the same dream, they also lose their eyesight, making them blind. The singer is also depicted as being deaf and unable to hear the world around them.


Despite all these debilitating experiences, the singer still has an image of someone dancing in their mind, which is what they can still sense despite losing their sense organs. The song then shifts to a more positive note, where the singer describes their love for the person they dreamt of. They explain how their love flows through their veins, in their blood, and this person is an integral part of them.


In the second stanza, the singer talks about how they lose this person in the dream, unable to find them in the crowd. It is a realization that sometimes, despite all their efforts, the person they love may not be within their reach. The third stanza talks about how the singer finds themselves drowning in a sea of blood, which is a metaphorical representation of how love can sometimes be all-consuming and overwhelming.
