Scream
Grimes Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I used to be so considerate
I used to be so bright
Until you tainted me
With your blight
I can't run from you
Every time I try
You follow me through the lies
I tried to stay alive
But you wanted me dead
And now I just wanna stay inside
Where I can't hear you scream
Scream
Scream
You, you were my best friend
And now that you're gone
I'm shoving needles in my eyes
Hoping one day to die
So roll the dice
I'm ready for this
Well I can't run from you
Every time I try
You follow me through the lies
I tried to stay alive
But you wanted me dead
And now I just wanna stay inside
Where I can't hear you scream
Scream

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Grimes's song SCREAM depict a story of betrayal and heartbreak. The singer is addressing someone who was once their best friend, but that person did something to "taint" the singer and now they can't seem to escape the pain and suffering that came with that taint. The singer talks about wanting to stay inside where they can't hear the other person scream, which suggests that the other person is trying to reach out to them in some way or cause them more pain.


Throughout the song, we get a sense of the singer's struggle to stay alive, both physically and emotionally. They feel like the other person wants them dead, and as a result, the singer has turned to self-harm as a way to cope. The line "I'm shoving needles in my eyes, hoping one day to die" is quite vivid and disturbing, and it portrays just how much pain the singer is in.


Overall, SCREAM is a haunting and intense song that deals with heavy themes. The lyrics are raw and emotional, and Grimes's haunting vocals only add to the overall mood of the song.


Line by Line Meaning

I used to be so considerate
I was once thoughtful and caring


I used to be so bright
I was once full of light and positivity


Until you tainted me
But then you corrupted me with your negativity


With your blight
With your disease-like influence


I can't run from you
I can't escape your hold on me


Every time I try
No matter how hard I try


You follow me through the lies
You always find me and keep me trapped in your deceitful web


I tried to stay alive
I tried to keep going, to not let you bring me down


But you wanted me dead
But you were determined to destroy me


And now I just wanna stay inside
Now I just want to hide away from the world and from you


Where I can't hear you scream
Where I can't hear your destructive words and actions


Scream


Scream


You, you were my best friend
You used to be my closest companion


And now that you're gone
But now that you're out of my life


I'm shoving needles in my eyes
I'm resorting to extreme self-harm to try and escape the pain


Hoping one day to die
Desperately wishing for death to release me from this torment


So roll the dice
I'm willing to take the chance


I'm ready for this
I'm prepared for whatever fate has in store for me


Scream

Grimes - SCREAM ft. Aristophanes
Lyrics:
藏在肺裡的尖叫
藏在骨頭和肌肉裡的
沒有爆破前 毋庸置疑的
都會揪緊成病
曾經 乾燥的 都被潑濕
膨脹後彈牙 多肉 黏膩多汁
一個女人徒手拔掉滿頭黑髮
在夢境的山稜線行走
思念聚集成蚊蟲
張開沒有焦點的瞳孔
就像….快 張開沒有欲望的大腿
我咬下去 你還是無動於衷嗎
明明可以叫出來的呀
沿著你的脊椎走
我的手指 戳出一個冰涼的湖
四處張望 無人看守
暴露狂脫掉風衣 淚流滿面地 跳進去
計劃把你高潮的尖叫聲錄起 來
卻發現剛剛按錯了鍵
一去不復返 無能重複那時刻
你躺著
和逐漸冰冷的液體 撕扯著
黏膩 透明 在我的手心開出具有彈性的花
我覺得不夠 想從你身體裡擠出更多
就在這個時候電話響起
窗外的鹿群 飛奔離去 同時
急遽消退 藍色的風 抹去世界邊緣的泡沫
從你半開的雙眼繞過
接起電話 靜默降臨
剛醒來的情慾 在電話裡喘氣 尖叫
我邊聽 邊把你的汗一滴滴舔掉

不能吼出來 那就吞下去!

Verse 1
The screams that are buried in the lungs
Buried in the bones and the muscles
Un-exploded, undeniable
Cram into a sickness
What used to be dry is now sodden
Swollen, meaty, moist and juicy
My teeth are bouncing off it
A woman pulls out the head full of black hair with her bare hands
Walks along the mountain ridges in a dream
Remembrance swarms like mosquitoes
Opening up the unfocused eyes
As if… Quick, spread the legs without desire wide
I take a bite, are you still unmoved
You can scream out
Tracing along your spine
My fingers created a cold lake
I look around, no one is guarding
The exhibitionist takes out his coat and jumps into it with tears on his face
verse 2
I planned to record your scream as you reached orgasm
But then realize that I’ve pressed the wrong button
The moment has been lost, irretrievable
You lie there
Struggling with the body fluid that is getting cold
Sticky, transparent, elastic flowers in my palm
I’m not satisfied; I want to squeeze more out of your body
The telephone rings at this moment
A herd of deer run past the window and at the same time
Blue winds are dispelled so quickly, wiping out the foams on the margin of the world
Escaping from your half-opened eyes
Picking up the phone, silence comes
The desire just awoken breathes and screams in the receiver
As I listen I lick away every drop of your sweat
hook
If you can’t scream then swallow it down

verse 1--------------------------
The screams that are buried in the lungs
Buried in the bones and the muscles
Unexploded, undeniable
Cram into a sickness
What used to be dry is now sodden
Swollen, meaty, moist and juicy
My teeth are bouncing off it

Walks along the mountain ridges in a dream

this sounds like it could be playing at a club where vampires go and hang at midnight and fucking Blade or Buffy appears and kill them all.
