BloodFlow
Ritual Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Got lost in the undertow
Break the feeling so it hits you more
Can't hide that, I wanna hide that
Be the catalyst I can't ignore
You can have the marrow from my bone
Wanna hide that, can't hide that
You're making my blood flow
You're making my blood flow
You're making my blood flow
You're making my blood
You're making my blood
You're making my blood flow
Flow, flow, flow
You're making my blood flow
Flow, flow, flow
Flow, flow, flow
You're making my blood flow
Holding hard, holding down your hole
Gonna take you until we both dissolve
Let my mind sleep
You're the real trip
Give me more until I can't control
Yeah I'm on it, yeah I fall
Wanna hide that, can't hide that
You're making my blood flow
You're making my blood flow
You're making my blood flow
You're making my blood
You're making my blood
You're making my blood flow
Flow, flow, flow
You're making my blood flow
Flow, flow, flow
Flow, flow, flow
You're making my blood flow
Can't fight it no more, only blood
Fortitude's blood
'Cause you have, you can resolve
You're making my blood flow
Flow, flow, flow
You're making my blood flow
Flow, flow, flow
Flow, flow, flow
You're making my blood flow




Flow, flow, flow

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Ritual's "BloodFlow" portray a sense of losing oneself and being vulnerable to the emotions that the other person provokes in them. The opening verse "Got lost in the undertow, Break the feeling so it hits you more" suggests that the singer is willingly succumbing to the overwhelming feeling of passion and desire. In the following lines, "Wanna hide that, I can't hide that, Be the catalyst I can't ignore," the singer acknowledges that they cannot resist the attraction to the other person, and the other person is the one who is facilitating the singer's vulnerability.


The chorus, "You're making my blood flow," repeats several times, emphasizing that the other person is the one who is keeping the singer alive and causing the feeling of ecstasy. The singer cannot control their emotions, and the other person is the one who is dominating the singer's heart and soul. In the second verse, "Holding hard, holding down your hole, Gonna take you until we both dissolve," the singer is determined to hold onto the feelings and take them to the extent where both of them will be consumed by them.


Overall, the lyrics of "BloodFlow" perfectly convey the idea that love can sometimes take over and control you. Even the strongest individual can be overpowered by love and passion.

Completely forgot about this song. At least I saved it in a old Music Playlist on YouTube. Such a classic 👌

Alex Czarnecki

The progression of the melody and the vocals from beginning to end is spectacular. Just glides seamlessly throughout. The fascinating thing is that each time I listen to this song, I express different emotions and reactions in regards to how I am feeling. Music, in my perspective, is what feelings and emotions sound like. 
Thank you for your impeccable uploads Sheepy. You help more people than you might think

So did you compiled it or just copied it ?

Mikayla Russell

This song makes me feel so at peace💕

MarceloACR

I never really thought about this, but I'm partially drunk and that's when I'm actually free enough of the shackles that holds men down from actually sharing their feelings so here it goes:
I absolutelly love your videos, MrSuicideSheep, you manage to publish a lot of amazing music that awakens such deep and meaningfull emotions in me.... emotions that I can't share, or I'm too afraid to share, with other people. I love reflecting about life while listening to music like this, remembering good times... just chilling...
Recently I've read a lot about friendship, noticed how friendships that wever never supposed to end, people that I've loved, just dissappeared from my life... never showing their face again, not caring about old relationships. That really bums me up, and I just love how these music makes me actually vent this out, instead of snowballinh into some depression or other hard stuff

Bonnie Hirtz

Aww..its good to vent!

Shelby Cokeley

This song takes me to a place... so peaceful. I remember the day I found it, I was sitting outside on the porch and it was raining. It was the perfect setting.

King Bump

I don't know how you do what you do, the amount of effort and time put into this channel. But what you do is what I love, and I must say, I never felt so 'understood' by what you've put up. Sheepy for life!
