Blood Moon
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
Flow, flow, flow

Overall Meaning

The song "Blood Moon" by Ritual is a song about being lost in a feeling that one cannot hide from, despite wanting to. The opening lines "Got lost in the undertow, break the feeling so it hits you more" describe a sensation of being carried away by something strong and powerful, and not being able to resist it. The singer then acknowledges that they wish they could conceal this feeling, but it cannot be ignored. The lyrics "You can have the marrow from my bone, wanna hide that, can't hide that" suggest that the feeling is deep within the singer's being and cannot be severed or suppressed.


The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "You're making my blood flow" and emphasizes the intensity of the feeling. The verses describe a desire to be consumed by this feeling and to let go of control. The lyrics "Holding hard, holding down your hole, gonna take you until we both dissolve" suggest a willingness to surrender to the sensation and to allow it to take over completely. The lyrics "Give me more until I can't control" further emphasize this.


The song's bridge, which reads "Can't fight it no more, only blood, fortitude's blood, 'cause you have, you can resolve" suggests that the feeling is an intrinsic part of the singer's being, and cannot be escaped. The inclusion of the phrase "fortitude's blood" suggests that this feeling is a source of strength for the singer and that they can use it to overcome obstacles.

Yeah, sisters of mercy has a few dark country songs out there. Like macabre versions of the good, the bad, and the ugly.
