Their music is described as a casually-indefinable, artistic paradise of its own, built upon a bedrock of lush electronic tones and analog textures, stomp-and-clap guitars and heart-swelling vocals.
Bounty On My Head
Grizfolk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you believe me when I said
I've been a fool without your heart
I must′ve been misled
Would you love me when I'm gone?
Would you love me when I'm dead?
Would you love me with a bounty on my head?
I′ve got a really bad feeling I′m gonna love you so good
Take you down to my hometown
The old neighborhood
I've got a really bad feeling you′re gonna hurt me so good
I'll go down any way you want
Any way I struggle
No dream comes true until you′re left hanging by a thread
Until our hope fades away
And blue has turned to red
Would you love me when I'm gone?
Would you love me when I′m dead?
Would you love me with a bounty on my head?
A bounty on my head
I've got a really bad feeling I'm gonna love you so good
Take you down to my hometown
The old neighborhood
I′ve got a really bad feeling you′re gonna hurt me so good
I'll go down any way you want
Any way I struggle
Along this road
If we are, if we are not bleeding
Are we bleeding now?
Oh, along this road
If we are, if we are not bleeding
Are we bleeding out?
I′ve got a really bad feeling I'm gonna love you so good
Take you down to my hometown
The old neighborhood
I′ve got a really bad feeling you're gonna hurt me so good
I′ll go down any way you want
Any way I struggle
The lyrics of Grizfolk's 'Bounty On My Head' speak of a poignant and paradoxical love, where the singer is willing to go to any lengths for the object of their affection, even if they know it might end badly. The song begins with the singer explaining that they have been waiting for this love for a long time, and that they feel foolish for ever thinking they could live without it. Despite the risks and uncertainties, they ask if their lover would still love them even with a 'bounty on my head.'
The chorus reiterates this theme, with the singer admitting that they have a "really bad feeling" that they are going to love their partner so good that it will hurt them badly. Nevertheless, they express their readiness to take their partner down to their hometown, any way they want - even struggling all along the way. The bridge furthers the metaphor of a dangerous love and addresses the possibility of them bleeding out along the way.
Overall, 'Bounty On My Head' talks about the lengths people are willing to go for love, even when they know that it might not end well.
