Blood
Jimmie's Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Will you share your blood with me
I'll share mine with you after all the warning
Know that I'm not better still
I'm begging still let's risk it
Here we go
It's in my blood
Just how far is too far away
Will you bare your blood with me
Prepare mine with you after all the worry
Know that I'm not better still
I bed to kill let's risk it
Here we go
It's in my blood
We'll not forget the way time hesitates
I will not forget the fear of sore eyes
Will not forget the way time
Hesitates to kill my friends
It's a simple reality
I know every time I kill myself
I know every time I kill myself
I'll do anything fulfill myself
I know time I kill myself
Will not forget the way
I know every time I kill myself
Will not protect the spirit with more lies
We'll not regret or sway
I'll do anything fool fill myself
Will not forget the fever which grows strong
It's in my blood
It's in my blood
[Repeat: x4]
What's in your blood is in my blood
The song "Blood" by Jimmie's Chicken Shack is a dark and introspective song that explores themes of risk-taking, self-harm, and the bonds between people. The opening lines of the song ask "Just how far is too far away?/Will you share your blood with me?" and set the tone for the rest of the lyrics. The singer seems to be struggling with a desire to take risks, possibly even to harm himself, and is asking for someone else to join him in this recklessness.
The lyrics are full of disturbing imagery, with lines like "I bed to kill, let's risk it" and "I know every time I kill myself." The singer seems to be grappling with his own mortality and a desire to push himself to the brink. However, the song also touches on the idea of shared experiences and dependencies between people, as seen in the lines "What's in your blood is in my blood." Ultimately, it's a complex song that explores some difficult emotions and impulses.
Overall, "Blood" is a powerful and evocative song that delves deep into some dark themes. Its lyrics touch on self-harm, risk-taking, and the bonds between people, and are both thought-provoking and unnerving. With its moody instrumentation and intense vocals, the song has a haunting quality that lingers long after it's over.

I love this band, used to listen to them all the time in college. I just bought Stereo and Envelope the other day, lost them with a bunch of other CD's a long time ago so had to buy them again. Can't wait 'til they get here.
