Blood Stutter
Handsome Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Crossed fingers, eyes wander
A torn t-shirt, warm evening
A dark secret you can't keep it
But in the car all the stars arrive on my ceiling
Cigarettes you forget I've known you seven years
And then your blood stop stutters I'm the one who always made you feel it
Long summer, the sun lingers
A sure stunner, in deep water
But in the car all the stars arrive on my ceiling
Cigarettes you forget I've known you seven years
And then your blood stop stutters I'm the one who always made you feel it
And what I've done is not enough to hope you out of here
What I've done is not enough to hope you out of here
But in the car all the stars arrive on my ceiling
Cigarettes you forget I've known you seven years
And then your blood stop stutters I'm the one who always made you feel it
And what I've done is not enough to hope you out of here
And from your mouth coming out tell me nothing really matters
But tonight and this ride you don't want to see it end
But in truth you know that I can still see the blood in the water
And what I've done is not enough to hope you out of here
What I've done is not enough to hope you out of here
What I've done is not enough to hope you out of here
The song "Blood Stutter" by Handsome Ghost is a captivating and emotional track that discusses a dark secret that one can no longer keep. The lyrics begin with a description of a warm evening down south where the singer is feeling anxious and nervous, with crossed fingers and wandering eyes. The sense of unease builds as the lyrics continue, with a torn t-shirt and the mention of a secret that cannot be kept any longer.
The chorus is a poignant reflection of the emotional turmoil that's being felt, as the singer looks up at the stars while smoking cigarettes, thinking about their relationship with the person they're singing about. The line "And then your blood stop stutters I'm the one who always made you feel it" suggests that the singer has hurt the person they're singing about in some way and is struggling to reconcile their feelings of guilt and love.
The final verse adds to the intensity of the song, with the singer acknowledging that nothing really matters in the grand scheme of things, but they still don't want the night to end. The haunting final line of the song "What I've done is not enough to hope you out of here" is repeated, driving home the singer's feelings of inadequacy.
