Blood Stutter
Handsome Ghost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Down southern, pulled under
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
And what I've done is not enough to hope you out of here

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

Overall Meaning

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.


Line by Line Meaning

Down southern, pulled under
Feeling trapped and helpless in a difficult situation


Crossed fingers, eyes wander
Desperately hoping for a positive outcome, but also looking for a way out


A torn t-shirt, warm evening
Revealing vulnerability in a comfortable, relaxed setting


A dark secret you can't keep it
Feeling burdened by a hidden truth that needs to be shared


But in the car all the stars arrive on my ceiling
Finding solace and peace, escaping reality for a moment


Cigarettes you forget I've known you seven years
Reflecting on a long history and close relationship, yet still indulging in destructive habits


And then your blood stop stutters I'm the one who always made you feel it
Recognizing one's part in causing pain and chaos, even if unintentionally


And what I've done is not enough to hope you out of here
Feeling helpless in fixing a situation, no matter how hard one tries


Long summer, the sun lingers
A moment of beauty and tranquility, enjoying life despite the chaos


A sure stunner, in deep water
Being brave and confident, but feeling overwhelmed in a situation


And from your mouth coming out tell me nothing really matters
Expressing a sense of hopelessness and despair, feeling like nothing can be done to fix things


But tonight and this ride you don't want to see it end
Savoring a brief moment of happiness and joy, not wanting it to come to an end


And in truth you know that I can still see the blood in the water
Acknowledging the lasting impact of past mistakes and their potential to resurface


And what I've done is not enough to hope you out of here
Feeling the weight of responsibility and guilt, but unable to undo the damage that's been done


What I've done is not enough to hope you out of here
Reiterating the understanding that the current situation cannot be easily fixed or escaped from
