Flesh Without Blood
Grimes (4) Lyrics

@foto21

I'm also older, and can't stand 99% of modern music, but my ears perked up a few years back when I heard her first hit. I thought I should've hated it, but I liked. Now, the more I dig, the more I like. Thank God an actual artist made it. She kind of reminds me of Bowie in a weird way. No way am I as much a fan, nor is her music as broad, but she has his free aesthetic to do whatever she wants. At least it's not packaged by a group of bs label runners and producer/agents.

The ironic thing about this song is it's really a borderline rock song. The drums and bass are kicking, and there is real (or simulated) guitar in it. It's not some boring overused trap beat, and she's not working in the sh*t vocal lane that so many modern vocalists overuse with the bad rapping and autotune. This is actually very 80s underground, even though modernized. It's because she came from Vancouver, a place with some brains.

@pecapello

same. just recently came across her and I can say I´m obsessed!

@giannanotgio

I miss THIS Grimes

@missLeamon2023

Shes grown up..shes a Mother. Dont tramp her down...... shes living but in other ways now

@giannanotgio

@@missLeamon2023 oh, when i wrote this i was referring to her music 😃 and years before i comment this, it kinda bothered me >the way she changed her work and ideas< 'cause it was >so abruptly< and made no sense to me as fan. 

and also, to me, the fact she became a mother doesn't make her any better...

anyway, i still like her work 🤷🏼‍♀️ just doesn't hit as before.

@MonsterVSAnimal2

I’m very upset Grimes regrets making this whole album & doesn’t like it whatsoever, it’s a masterpiece & it’s what made me obsessed with her, I listened to this nonstop for 2 years, and still listen to it all the time... it’s just TIMELESS. ❤️

@mitchellbaker9434

Believe me, she probably changed her mind again 20 minutes later, That is why she is so much fun.

@36gamers

It may because the lyrics are personal and contrast the feelings she has now.

@echohasbinokiller4

If you find her tweet replying to Stereogum sharing that article, you'll see she doesn't actually hate the album. Safe to say the interviewer misunderstood her.

@nessnake123

She needs a slap and tell her this is good

@miamivicemastermixer

where did she said that? i'm a bit shook because this album is a timeless masterpiece imo

@ItsVasco3456

I just worked a whole afternoon listening to Grimes, I can't believe the variety of music she produces and how consistent the quality is.. I'm a fan out of nowhere

@HellaHipHop

for those who don't know grimes produced recorded mixed engineered and mastered this song.

aka very impressive......

@korybant8409

so she says..

@HellaHipHop

🎶 babyyyy believeeee meeeeeeeeeeeee 🎶 and you had every chance you destroy everything that you know 🎶

plus the way her body snapped with the beat at 1:19 is a good sign she might have her ears inside a loop for 8 hours a day 😉

@korybant8409

Nope, because the beat itself isn't proof of advanced prolonged production. It would've been present in the acoustic guitar draft.

There is no real evidence for or against.

@HellaHipHop

idk then.. she just too gorgeous anyways so how could she be such an amazing sound engineer. she mustn't have it all. DOWN WITH GRIMES.

@korybant8409

It's likely she is naturally talented and chose the complex timbres and textures herself. That is probable.
But advanced sound engineering in addition to composition? That's improbable. Possible, but improbable.

It's not even a male vs female issue. It would be very difficult for anyone.

@jenya-was-here

So many hipster elitists bitching about the pop sound and I'm just sitting over here like if all pop music sounded like this then I'd be listening to pop all the damn time tbh

@jenya-was-here

Also, I personally got much more of a Marina Diamandis and Chvrches vibe from this more than a Taylor or Avril one... ? (and thank god for that)

@pidgeon666

+Jenya March I dunno what Diamandis is (not hipster enough) but yeah, Chvrches is pop unless you're in high school and think pop is only what the preps and jocks like

@jayandrews3509

That's kind of ironic considering this sounds like every pop song

@jenya-was-here

+L Khokhlakov Marina Diamandis = Marina and the Diamonds

Sweetie, I never said that Marina, Chvrches, or even this song wasn't pop. I said that this song reminded me of their sound more than Taylor's or Avril's. Not all pop sounds the same.

@jenya-was-here

"Sounds like every pop song" makes it seem like your exposure to pop is either very limited, or you simply snob all pop music for the sake of snobbing pop. Pop music is eclectic. This song shares the same identifying core element factors (verse-chorus structure, hooks, etc.), but otherwise it does /not/ sound like most other pop music. Funny enough (and I laugh as I say this next part because of all the indie snobs that scoff at this song), it sounds like indie-pop, because it clearly is borrowing from post-punk sounds, is more melodic, less abrasive, and relatively angst-free, and aside from the two other artists that I mentioned earlier (Marina and the Diamonds and Chvrches), I cannot think of any other popular artist with this specific take on pop. So, yeah. This does NOT sound like "every pop song". Please open your ears.

@@alil3231 Maybe something amongst the lines of visual arts or audiovisual production. This type of careers might help you gain references and different techniques that you can explore until you find the one or the ones that you like.
However there are many ways you can explore "expression" without the terms of "academy", i don't know if it sounds dumb but tiktok is full of homemade videos that have this vibe, they are good examples. You can also take courses that teach you how to work different softwares like the adobe suite, etc. these are great tools for creating out of the ordinary compositions in terms of images, videos and audio c:

Tears that are no longer clean

@bratswood

Why do so many people think creating a pop song is "selling out"? The only way to sell out in music is to create lazy shit that misses its mark. This is the opposite of that. This is ambitious and addictive music, with aching, subtly hauting lyrics that reach out universally: in short, pop music at its best. And like all music at its best, this is HARD to pull off so well. This is like a sugary confection that's been burnt with a cigarette lighter, just at the edges. Listen closer. There's a darkness at the heart of this. If all contemporary pop sounded this good, I'd still be a mainstream radio listener.

I believe the "angel" is named Ivy, and she was supposed to be the oldest of all the personas. One's a gamer-girl, she's the most modern and youngest. And the "princess" you're talking about is actually supposed to mimic Marie Antoinette. If I recall correctly, Claire (Grimes) actually stated the setting behind this was to go back in time and kill that Marie character. I'm assuming the other characters were incarnations of Ivy, but that's a guess. Interesting, none the less!

Обожаю её за смелость быть собой - это безумная редкость, потому что все кто сейчас на сцене только лишь делают вид, что делают то что они хотят, на самом деле это жалкие копии друг друга , и существуют они на этих копиях только для того чтобы заработать бабла. А Граймс одна среди всех демонстрирует свой внутренний мир через эту музыку, и отчётливо видно как это сделано НЕ фальшиво, а по настоящему и с душой.
Вообще очень сложно писать коменты на её музыке - не хватит слов чтобы описать любовь к этой чистоте в её музыке, для меня она совершенна, она со своим я, со своим уникальным видением, я обожаю таких личностей, которые прут против всех , делая чистоту, которая идёт изнутри

@jennyorbit

ok for all the people complaining about her becoming mainstream and selling out etc: just because her music is sounding of more like generic pop on mainstream radio doesn't mean she sold out?? (well she's always been a pop artist tho) if you pay attention to grimes, you would know that she loves all kinds of music, she doesn't give a fuck if the music is mainstream or not. she's very open about loving artists like lil wayne, nicki, madonna , selena etc to "good music" like tame impala, joanna newsom, the national to virtually unknown artists like st beauty and moon king. why do people dislike artists when they "sound mainstream"? david bowie was basically a mainstream artist, does that mean he's a sellout?? grimes wrote, produced like all of her work, she is one of most genuine, open minded artists out there, give her a break. honestly, if she re-did visions i bet y'all would complain about how she's the same and you wanted more from her etc etc like honestly she is an actual person, she isn't born to be your "indie goddess", she isn't making music to make you cool and different, she will not change what she desires in her music to suit your stupid standards (i.e not a sellout, sellouts do whatever to please the audience right??? bc thats how u make mo money???) stop nagging and let her be, you all need to get over yourselves smh

+jenny jojo EXACTLY!! Claire (aka Grimes) said it in an interview Art Angels was the portrayal of Grimes in a contemporary context, essentially using these inner contemporary characters, not only redefining her as an artist but also going back to the music that she listened to when she was growing up.

@plebiansociety

+iBenTV I don't fault her for it, I just wish she wouldn't do it under the "Grimes" name. I've bought Grimes music for years for something melodic and ethereal, her songs have literally been my lullabies for years now.

The lyrics in this song really get to me. I've had my fair share of failed relationships, one ended recently, and to listen to this gives me strength, it's a song about letting go of any toxic person who used to try and control your life. But "I don't care anymore". Thank you from my aching heart that still heals, Grimes. It means the world to me and I can't get enough of it.

@imlostinreverie

Anyone complaining she's trying to be mainstream or something should look at the album artwork for Art Angels. You don't put that on a cover to sell copies, you put it on the cover because you want to. She is totally in control of her artistic output. There's no pandering. She's making what she wants to. Get over it.

@KatBurnsKASHKA

@a.evelyn5498

Grimes is incredible. She’s brilliant. I deem the genre of this song Dream Pop as the music & the video really do make you feel like you’re in a dream, another realm that is joyous & surreal. She’s for sure an artist too as she hates much of her older music. Artists are always extremely hard on themselves. I experience that same self-disparagement as a writer & film photographer. I’ve won many awards & had galleries showings for my photography, selling my prints for a significant amount of money too (anywhere from $100-400 per print, depending on if it’s framed too), yet I still tear apart anything & everything I’ve created, more so with my writing & poetry in particular, though I’ve moved to prose primarily now. (to be continued…)

@a.evelyn5498

I’m also an academic, with an undergraduate degree from Columbia University & a graduate degree in Anthropology from there as well, & I’m pursuing a PhD in Anthropology next. I’m a straight A student & praised for my writing in regard to my academic work, but I, again, tear it all apart & often feel embarrassed & ashamed about my work in spite of all the success I’ve had at university, let alone attending a prestigious university twice this far, with a very good chance of attending a prestigious university for my PhD as well. I would love to stay at Columbia, but they prefer for students to have experiences at different universities & it’s already a great feat that I was accepted twice in a row, as well as having been accepted to the university’s Teachers College in between, though choosing to pursue Anthropology instead. So really I was accepted thrice in a row, which is very much unheard of as, again, these top universities prefer not only for students to have different experiences at different universities but they also like to mix it up with the students they accept. I actually wasn’t accepted to the two other graduate programs to which I applied along with Columbia, both other schools in NYC (The New School & Hunter College). The acceptance rates are much higher at those universities & although very good schools, they are not considered as the same caliber as Columbia. Ultimately I felt like a failure, like I only was accepted to Columbia as I had connections there & two professors from there — & the third with multiple graduate degrees from there — wrote my recommendations for the graduate program, so I felt that those recommendations & connections were the only reasons I was accepted. I felt like an imposter (Imposter Syndrome in which one feels like one doesn’t belong, far less worthy & valuable — if at all — from those around one), from which I suffered during undergraduate as well. I’m extremely grateful that I was accepted, & I believe I’ve proved my capabilities being that I have a 4.0 GPA & I am often praised by my professors, some of whom I’ve grown quite close to, one of whom I’ve been very close with since undergraduate, so ten years ago (as I’m thirty now & I began taking courses with her at 20, & she took me under her wing & became not only a mentor to me but also an incredibly supportive & uplifting figure in my life & she’s agreed — having already assumed — that she’ll be writing one of my recommendations for the PhD. I only have a semester left for the graduate program, but after only one semester, I had acquired the other two recommendations (three required) for the PhD program. Needless to say, I have many people — especially such revered professors with tenure — in my corner & yet I am EXTREMELY hard on myself & often don’t feel good enough whatsoever, leading me to spiral into severe depressive episodes. At times, I even become s*c*d*l… as I have such little faith in myself particularly during those times of profound melancholia, of course. I want to believe in myself & assure myself that I can do something *great as that’s been my dream since I was very young, elementary school age— greatness but I doubt myself all the time to the point that I feel as if it’ll destroy me, that my mind & mental health is sabotaging me. I just rambled way too much, & no one will ever read this. (to be continued, again…)

@a.evelyn5498

Yet I want to say this: Grimes is such an inspiration as no matter how much she doubts herself, she keeps creating no matter what, following her passions no matter how she feels or down she becomes & in spite of all the suffering she’s had to endure, in particular the loss of multiple friends in a short span of time, just several years I believe,. I’ve had MANY losses too with almost all of them not being natural — instead via h*m*cide, s*cide, overdoses, illness, car accident, etc. — with the first at only five years old, affecting me profoundly even though I was so young — & the most recent one only two years ago. Many people whom I’ve lost were those I loved *most in the world… family members with whom I was closest within my external family & the only boy I ever loved who died in my arms, with these losses (three family members from h*micide all at once & then that boy almost exactly ten years apart, with only a month in difference)… I let these losses destroy me for many years, my Complex PTSD & mental health issues ruling my life, rendering me unable to truly live. It’s taken A LOT of intensive trauma therapy (EMDR) to begin to heal. I don’t believe you ever get over such trauma; you just learn to live with the pain & find happiness in spite of it. My metaphor for life is that it’s like a river of sh*t & there are stones that allow you to cross the river. Those stones are happiness & it’s those moments of happiness that keep you going. If you are seeking “happiness” via euphoria instead (addictive behavior like dr*g use or the thrill from other self-harmful behaviors) then the stones are made of sand & will crumble beneath your feet. The moments of happiness are indeed fleeting; the small moments that light up one’s eyes with stars, & yet they make life not only survivable but livable & imbued with a sense of genuine hope in spite of all the suffering that is inevitable to life itself, originating with the very pain that is consciousness itself (ask Frankenstein’s monster about what it means to suddenly be thrust into consciousness & having to think & feel so very profoundly, without an end to it except when it’s dulled via such euphoria, false happiness. Anyway I’m still ranting even though I said I’d write only one last thing. This really is the end. I just want to thank Grimes (or Claire) one last time for being part of creating those moments of happiness, in which one indeed dances freely as if no one is watching.

This song was written for the so-called fans who mercilessly bullied her after she released music that they deemed too mainstream. They called her a sell-out for incorporating more pop-driven music direction--but her melodic electronic music has always been pop-influenced, so toxic hipsters just don't like to see a successful female artist. They want to keep her to themselves as this "undervalued genius" but the moment her talent gets any air, it threatens the toxic hipster's notion of intellectual superiority. I love to see my favorite underground artists gain success because I want to share the music I love with the world and how exciting is it when a song you love comes on in the supermarket?
