The Host
I Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yeah!

Before i break the night
You lost the feeling of time
The rage dressed black tie

I feel I am left alone
I would never leave you alone
Why did you make me stoned?

Before you die in this day
You will can choose the way
You can hold and stay
Or you can go and say...

Why it hurts so much?
Cause you reject my touch
The painkiller is not enough

Why it hurts so much?
Cause you reject my touch
The painkiller is not enough

I cannot hold more
I'm engraved in its core
Ok, show me your gore

Before you die in this day
You will can choose the way
You can hold and stay
Or you can go and say...

I come
I hurt
I killed
There’s
Blood in my hands

I come
I hurt
I killed
There’s
Blood in my hands

Ambulantes in tenebris, dux, Domine, de manu mea, quia tempus est.
Caput meum, non possint voces murmurationis.
Sanguinem in venis sanguis clamat de aliis.
In ordine insatiabilis.
Statusque committere populis Domine mihi peccata dimittat.

I come
I hurt
I killed
There’s
Blood in my hands

I come
I hurt
I killed
There’s
Blood in my hands

There’s blood in my hands

There’s blood in my hands

Ambulantes in tenebris, dux, Domine, de manu mea, quia tempus est.
Caput meum, non possint voces murmurationis.
Sanguinem in venis sanguis clamat de aliis.




In ordine insatiabilis.
Statusque committere populis Domine mihi peccata dimittat.

Overall Meaning

The Host by I is a hauntingly dark and turbulent song with lyrics that paint a picture of someone who has lost control and is struggling with inner turmoil. The song begins with a sense of urgency, with the singer wanting to "break the night" and move forward. However, the subject seems to be struggling with time, feeling lost and angry. The use of the phrase "rage dressed black tie" is particularly interesting, as it creates an image of someone who is trying to maintain a sense of composure despite their anger.


The subject is also struggling with their relationship with someone else, possibly a lover or friend. They feel alone, but also feel that they would never leave the other person alone. The line "Why did you make me stoned?" implies that the other person is somehow responsible for the subject's current state, but it's not clear exactly how or why. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Why it hurts so much? Cause you reject my touch" twice, emphasizing the pain that the subject feels from this rejection.


The bridge of the song is particularly interesting, as it includes a Latin phrase and some fragments of phrases in English. This section of the song adds to the sense of chaos and turmoil, with the subject struggling to keep their head above water. Overall, The Host is a powerful and emotional song that deals with some intense psychological themes.
