Out Of The Black
Royal Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When it came alive and took you
Out of the black?
It broke your skin and shift through
Every part of me, every part of you
You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
'Cause you haven't been spoken to
I got a gun for my mouth
And a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart
Bleeding blood from an empty pocket
I never knew why
And you didn't care when
It closed every door
And washed away no sin
And I promised you
Like you promised me
But those vows we made
We fucked it up for free, yeah
You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don't breathe when I talk
'Cause you haven't been spoken to
I got a gun for my mouth
And a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart
Bleeding blood from an empty pocket
You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don't breathe when I talk
'Cause you haven't been spoken to
I got a gun for my mouth
And a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart
Bleeding blood from an empty pocket
And it tortures slow
Never lets you go
Deals a crooked hand
The lyrics of "Out of the Black" by Royal Blood describe a broken relationship that has caused immense pain and frustration for the singer. The song is a powerful and hard-hitting rock ballad that speaks to those who have been hurt by someone they trusted. The opening lines of the song set the tone for the rest of the lyrics, asking how it felt to be taken out of the darkness (black) and brought into the light. The imagery of breaking skin and shifting through every part of both characters indicates the deep connection that existed between them and the pain that came with the betrayal.
The chorus features the singer expressing their anger and hurt towards the person who hurt them, with the gun metaphor symbolizing the desire for vengeance. The singer feels like a fool for ever trusting the other person, and their actions have left them feeling exposed and vulnerable. The line "don't breathe when I talk, 'cause you haven't been spoken to" is a warning to the other person to listen and take heed of the singer's pain and anger.
In the final verse, the singer admits to being equally responsible for the failed relationship, but that their promises were ultimately broken. The metaphor of "bleeding blood from an empty pocket" suggests that the singer has given their all to the relationship and now has nothing left to give. The song ends with the line "it tortures slow, never lets you go, deals a crooked hand," indicating that the pain caused by the failed relationship will linger long after it is over.
Line by Line Meaning
How did it feel
Asking about the feelings when something became alive and took over the situation
When it came alive and took you
When something became alive and dominated the situation
Out of the black?
Out of nothingness and darkness
It broke your skin and shift through
Something so intense that it broke through one's skin and reached every part of their being
Every part of me, every part of you
Something that affects every aspect of one's being and their counterpart
You made a fool out of me
Someone taking advantage of another person to their detriment
And took the skin off my back running
Someone who takes and runs without consequences or remorse
So don't breathe when I talk
Don't interrupt or interfere when the other person is speaking
'Cause you haven't been spoken to
You haven't experienced the emotional pain or suffering of the other person
I got a gun for my mouth
I have fought and hurt myself with my words
And a bullet with your name on it
I have directed my anger and frustration towards a specific person
But a trigger for a heart
But the root of the problem is a bleeding and painful heart
Bleeding blood from an empty pocket
A heart that is bleeding and suffering from emptiness and lack of fulfillment
I never knew why
Not understanding the reason behind something
And you didn't care when
The other person didn't give the necessary attention, care or consideration
It closed every door
Something that has been the reason behind the loss of opportunities or closed doors
And washed away no sin
Something that hasn't purged or cleansed any guilt or wrongdoing
And I promised you
Making a promise to someone
Like you promised me
Expecting the other person to keep their promises too
But those vows we made
The promises made and expected to be kept
We fucked it up for free, yeah
Causing the unredeemable loss of something valuable without consequences
And it tortures slow
Something that creates slow, prolonged and agonizing suffering
Never lets you go
A situation or memory that holds a person hostage
Deals a crooked hand
An unjust and unfair situation

Out of the black
It broke your skin and shook through
Every part of me, every part of you
You made a fool out of me
And took the skin off my back running
So don’t breathe when I talk
Cos you haven’t been spoken to
I’ve got a gun for a mouth and a bullet with your name on it
But a trigger for a heart beating blood from an empty pocket
I never knew why
And you didn’t care when
It closed every door
And washed away no sin
And I promised you
Like you promised me
But those vows we made
Fucked it up for free
You made a fool out of me
