BLOOD
Priestess Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You wanted to take your time with him
You wanted to suck his blood
But before you can rip into his veins
You'd better take the reins
'Cause he's riding into the sun

Since its been going on
You know there's something wrong
It all started because
She wants to drain his blood

It's far too late to hesitate
To hard to part
Just drive it through her heart
'Cause if you can't




She's got you in her hand
'Cause he's riding into the sun

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Priestess's song "Blood" tell the tale of a woman who wants to suck the blood of a man she desires. She tries to take her time with him but needs to take the reins before he rides into the sun. The singer of the song warns that something is wrong since this has been going on, and it's too late to back out of the situation. The lyrics convey a sense of urgency and a dangerous situation as the woman's desire for blood threatens the man.


The imagery of the song seems to be inspired by vampire mythology, with sucking the blood of the desired person being a common trope. However, the lyrics can also be interpreted in a broader sense, with the woman representing any individual who wants something from someone else and is willing to take it by force or manipulation. The man, in this case, is the victim, but he is also complicit in the situation, riding towards the danger of his own accord.


Overall, the song presents a visceral and intense narrative that can be interpreted in various ways. The urgent and driving rhythm of the guitar creates a sense of energy and action that matches the lyrics' mood.


Line by Line Meaning

You wanted to take your time with him
You desired to have your way with him patiently


You wanted to suck his blood
You craved to enervate him by drawing his blood


But before you can rip into his veins
Before you can break into his bloodstream


You'd better take the reins
You must seize control of the situation


'Cause he's riding into the sun
Since he is headed towards the setting sun


Since its been going on
Since the matter has been persisting for a while now


You know there's something wrong
You realize that there exists an issue


It all started because
It all began because


She wants to drain his blood
She has a desire to empty his veins


It's far too late to hesitate
It is much too delayed to delay any further


To hard to part
It is challenging to split ways


Just drive it through her heart
Thrust something through her heart


'Cause if you can't
Since you are incapable of accomplishing this


She's got you in her hand
She controls you


'Cause he's riding into the sun
Since he is headed towards the setting sun
