Grimes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Got a doll that looks just like you
Remember when we used to say
"I love you" almost every day
I saw a light in you
Going out as I closed our window
You never liked me anyway
And now I don't, and now I don't
And now I don't care anymore
Baby, believe me
If you had every chance
You'd destroy everything you love
(Uncontrollable)
If you don't need me
Just let me go
You hate, you bite, you lose
After all, I just don't like you
It's nice that you say you like me
But only conditionally
Your voice, it had the perfect flow
It got lost when you gave it up though
'Cause you want money
You want fame
I don't see the light I saw in you before
And now I don't, and now I don't
And now I don't care anymore
Baby, believe me
If you had every chance
You'd destroy everything you love
(Uncontrollable)
If you don't need me
Just let me go
Baby, believe me
I don't know how many times
You destroyed everything that you love
(Uncontrollable)
If you don't need me
Just let me go
Baby, believe me
I don't know how many times
You destroyed everything that you love
(Uncontrollable)
If you don't need me
Just let me go
(Uncontrollable)
Grimes's song "Flesh without Blood" is about a tumultuous relationship. The lyrics suggest that the singer's partner is unstable and inconsistent in their affections. The singer reminisces about the past when they used to say "I love you" every day, but now those feelings have faded. The partner is described as clawing and fighting, but ultimately losing the singer's love. The image of a doll that looks like the partner implies that they may be artificial or fake in some way. The singer no longer sees the light in their partner that they once did, and they don't care anymore.
The chorus of "Flesh without Blood" is a warning to the partner that if they had the chance, they would destroy everything they love. The partner's destructive tendencies are described as "uncontrollable." The singer urges the partner to either love them unconditionally or let them go. The second verse continues to describe the partner's negative qualities, including their desire for money and fame. The line "you destroyed everything that you love" suggests that the partner may already be familiar with self-sabotage.
Line by Line Meaning
You claw, you fight, you lose
You struggle and try hard, but ultimately fail
Got a doll that looks just like you
You have a replica who resembles you
Remember when we used to say / "I love you" almost every day
We used to declare our love for each other frequently
I saw a light in you / Going out as I closed our window
I noticed a spark or attraction in you that faded away as our relationship ended
You never liked me anyway
You never had genuine feelings for me
I don't see the light I saw in you before / And now I don't, and now I don't / And now I don't care anymore
I no longer see the qualities in you that I admired before, and as a result, I have stopped caring about you
Baby, believe me / If you had every chance / You'd destroy everything you love / (Uncontrollable)
If given the opportunity, you would ruin the things you hold dear, beyond your control
If you don't need me / Just let me go
If you no longer have a need for me in your life, it's best to let me go
You hate, you bite, you lose / After all, I just don't like you
Your hostility and negativity have resulted in your defeat, and ultimately, I no longer have positive feelings for you
It's nice that you say you like me / But only conditionally
While it's pleasant to hear that you have positive feelings for me, those feelings come with strings attached
Your voice, it had the perfect flow / It got lost when you gave it up though / 'Cause you want money / You want fame
Your speaking voice was incredibly smooth and pleasant, but after giving it up for money and fame, that quality was lost
Baby, believe me / I don't know how many times / You destroyed everything that you love / (Uncontrollable)
Trust me when I say that you have ruined the things you cherish many times, and unfortunately, it is beyond your power to stop
