Drip
Liars Blonde Redhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I am growing now
A foreign crystal
Never to be found
I am overjoyed
To be your disease
But don't ever hunt me down
'Cos I'm all alone in here
'Cos I'm all alone
When will I awake
From this dormant sleep
To eat
To eat
So won't you let me in?
Won't you let me in?
Won't you let me in?
The lyrics to "Drip" by Blonde Redhead seem to be a haunting meditation on addiction, love, and obsession. The opening lines of the song refer to an unidentified substance growing in the bloodstream of the singer or the person being addressed. The reference to a foreign crystal is somewhat ambiguous, but it may refer to a recreational drug or some other kind of obsession that has taken hold of the singer's mind and body. There is a sense of longing in the line "never to be found," which suggests that the singer may be searching for some kind of escape or release from the grip of this addiction.
The chorus of the song is equally ambiguous, with the singer expressing joy at being someone's disease but also a fear of being hunted down or shaken off. The lines "cos I'm all alone in here" suggest a sense of isolation and loneliness, which may be related to the addiction or obsession. The repeated refrain "when will I awake from this dormant sleep" seems to acknowledge the destructive nature of the addiction but also expresses a desire for something more.
Overall, the lyrics to "Drip" are open to a variety of interpretations, but they seem to capture the complicated and often painful experience of addiction, love, and obsession.
