Bloodshake
Peace Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You're a river in Bongo, just a heart in ecstasy
From the forest in Arden where I reside, blood will be blood
Back in Arden, you twist, deprive blood to be
You vibe so hard
And you live this forever
We spit blood in the sun, we spit blood in the ocean
As we plunge into the ocean, the waves they pull us down
For a moment I'm open, for blood to be
You vibe so hard
And you live this forever
We spit blood in the sun, we spit blood in the ocean
We spit blood in the sun, we spit blood in the ocean
The lyrics of Peace's song "Bloodshake" are a psychedelic exploration of the powerful forces of nature and the primal urges they can unleash within us. The opening lines evoke a sense of wildness and mystery, as we are transported from the jungle to the sea and introduced to a river in Bongo, which is described as being in a state of "ecstasy". The next lines take us to the forest in Arden, where the singer resides, and suggest that violence and bloodshed are an inevitable part of life in this place. The phrase "blood will be blood" echoes the famous line from Shakespeare's Macbeth, highlighting the idea that violence begets violence.
The chorus of the song, which consists of the lines "You vibe so hard / And you live this forever / We spit blood in the sun, we spit blood in the ocean", reinforces the idea that there is an intense, primal energy at work here that can never be fully tamed or controlled. The reference to spitting blood suggests a loss of control or excess, and the contrast between the vivid imagery of the blood and the serene natural settings of the sun and ocean creates a sense of tension and unease.
Line by Line Meaning
From the valley of the jungle, to the bottom of the sea
No matter where you go, your essence is immutable and cannot be changed.
You're a river in Bongo, just a heart in ecstasy
You're constantly flowing with excitement and passion, but in reality, you're just a beating heart.
From the forest in Arden where I reside, blood will be blood
In the place I call home, violence and conflict will always be present and never change.
Back in Arden, you twist, deprive blood to be
Even in my own community, people will do horrible things and take away life from others.
You vibe so hard
Your energy and enthusiasm are intense.
And you live this forever
You embody this spirit of unrelenting enthusiasm and energy permanently.
We spit blood in the sun, we spit blood in the ocean
Violence and aggression happens in all settings, from bright daylight to dark depths of the sea.
As we plunge into the ocean, the waves they pull us down
As we engage in violent behavior, the consequences begin to take hold and pull us down into a negative spiral.
For a moment I'm open, for blood to be
I am briefly overcome by the urge to engage in violent behavior and shed blood.
