Phox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I feel all of it, too, you know
You know
1936 breathing
Garnet her stone, ever gleaming
And Edith's hope is for love
But she doesn't hear of her grandchildren grieving, no
Eldest raised by Al Ringling
Spirit granted from Sing Sing
All of her heart is for drugs
And she doesn't care that everyone is leaving
Her blood is our blood, too, I know
I feel all of it, too, you know
Her blood is our blood, too, I know
I feel all of it, too, you know
Halfway in the hour, toward the mid of the night
We met our hands despite our wicked fight
Then we will sort our way around
This awful mess that all our genes has thrown around
Her blood is our blood, too, I know
I feel all of it, too, you know
Her blood is our blood, too, I know
I feel all of it, too, you know
The song "1936" by PHOX offers a poignant reflection on the complexities of family ties and legacy. The opening lines of the song state, "Her blood is our blood, too, I know / And I feel all of it, too, you know." This highlights a sense of shared identity and connection with the past, but also acknowledges that this connection is not always positive or easy. The lyrics refer to different family members and their struggles, including a woman named Edith who hopes for love but is unaware of her grandchildren's grief, and another woman whose heart is consumed by addiction, regardless of the people in her life who are leaving her.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on the challenges that arise from their shared heritage, saying, "Then we will sort our way around / This awful mess that all our genes has thrown around." The song touches on themes such as family dysfunction, the weight of inherited trauma, and the potential for healing and growth within a complicated family dynamic. Ultimately, it suggests that despite difficulties, there is still a sense of connection and responsibility to those who came before us, and a hope for reconciliation and understanding.

Her blood is our blood too, I know.
And I feel all of it too, and you know, you know.
1936 breathing.
Garnet her stone, ever gleaming.
And Edith's hope is for love
but she doesn't hear of her grandchildren grieving, no.
Eldest raised by Al Ringling, spirit granted from Sing Sing.
All of her heart is for drugs
and she doesn't care that everyone is leaving.
Her blood is our blood too, I know.
And I feel all of it too, and you know, and you know.
Her blood is our blood too, and I know.
I feel all of it too, and you know.
And halfway in the hour, toward the mid of the night,
We met our hands, despite our wicked fight,
And we will sort our way around
This awful mess that all our genes have thrown around.
Her blood is our blood too, and I know.
And I feel all of it too, and you know.
Her blood is our blood too, and I know.
And I feel all of it too.
Her blood is our blood too, I know.

Hace tanto que no los escuchaba, no recordaba lo buenos que eran y lo mucho que me gustan. Hay algo increíble en sus letras y en la voz de Monica Martin.

I really love this band, i'm a huge fan but i loved their original rendition of this song which felt so much more authentic than their performance here, sorry, wish they didn't change anything from their original
