Flesh without Blood itemprop=video
Grimes Lyrics

You claw, you fight, you lose
Even when you try your hardest and put up a fight, you still end up losing

Got a doll that looks just like you
I have a small replica of you, but it's not the same as having the real you

Remember when we used to say (we used to say) "I love you" almost every day
At one point in time, we shared a love so strong that we used to express it verbally nearly every single day

I saw the light in you, going out as I closed our window
I used to see a brightness in your spirit, but that spark seems to be gradually fading away as we drift apart

You never liked me anyway
It seems as though you never had genuine feelings for me

Aye yeah, aye yeah
Just a vocalization to express agreement or acknowledgement

Yeah, I don't see the light I saw in you before
I no longer see the qualities that initially drew me to you

And no, I don't care anymore
I have reached a point where I am indifferent about the relationship

Now you’ll never know
You missed out on the chance to remain a part of my life

Baby, believe me
I am being truthful, and I hope you understand

And you had every chance
I gave you opportunities to make things right, but it seems as though you didn't act upon them

You destroy everything that you know (that you know)
Your actions and choices have led to the destruction of everything you hold dear

If you don't need me, just let me go
If you truly do not want or need me in your life, then please let me move on

You hate, you bite, you lose
Your bitterness and mean-spiritedness will ultimately result in your loss

After all, I just don't like you
In the end, my feelings for you have changed from love to dislike

It's nice that you say you like me (you like me)
Although you claim to like me, your words seem insincere and conditional

But only conditionally
Your feelings for me depend on certain requirements being met

Your voice, it had the perfect flow
The sound of your voice used to be so comforting and pleasant

It got lost when you gave it up though
You seem to have lost that quality when you stopped caring about our relationship

'Cause you want money, you want fame
Your desire for wealth and recognition seems to be more important to you than our connection

Ooh, ooh
Just a vocalization to express reaction or emotion

Ey, ey, sing along, baby
Engaging in singing along, probably to distract from negative thoughts

Then your heart beats on this sad song
The rhythm of your heart seems to sync up with the melancholy tone of the music

Underground, underneath me
You seem to be lurking beneath the surface, somehow entwined with me still

And the big things we could’ve had
It's sad to think of all the potential positive outcomes that were lost due to our failings

Oh no
Expressing a negative emotion

Ah
Just a vocalization to express emotion or acknowledgement

Ah-ah-ah-ah
Just a vocalization to express emotion or acknowledgement
