Loveblood
Sundara Karma Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Whisper then a loud shout
Lost in the way she says my name
I'm such a creep
Fortune brought me lovers
Shadowed taro colors
Fated to kill the sweetest things
One by one
Hey, what's that from above?
Is it love for blood?
Hey, what's that from above?
Is it love for blood?
Hiding in the silence
One-way form of violence
Taste of the thunder from her thighs
Makes me shake
Calmly kicking outwards
Is she misunderstood?
Walking along the razor's edge
And she sweetly moans
Hey, what's that from above?
Is it love for blood?
Hey, what's that from above?
Is it love for blood?
Hey, what's that from above?
Is it love for blood?
Hey, what's that from above?
Is it love for blood?
One last kiss and away she goes
Obsessed with loveblood and yet no one knows
The lyrics to Sundara Karma's Loveblood are a mix of darkly romantic, sensual and even somewhat disturbing themes. The song seems to confront obsessive love and the destructive tendencies that can come with it. It begins with the singer waiting for his lover, arms outstretched, eager for her attention. She calls out to him and he is spellbound by the way she says his name. However, he is also aware of his own creepy nature and the inevitability that he will destroy the things he loves. The lyrics are filled with death metaphors, suggesting that the singer is fated to kill the sweetest things, one by one.

I wait eagerly, arms wide open, for her to come to me.
Whisper then a loud shout
She speaks softly before raising her voice, her words reverberating through me.

I am entranced by the sound of my name on her lips, unable to focus on anything else.
I'm such a creep
I feel ashamed of my behavior and the way I am so obsessed with her.
Fortune brought me lovers
Luck has granted me with many partners in the past.
Shadowed taro colors
The dark hues of tarot cards suggest a future full of uncertainty and danger.

One by one
Each thing I love is taken from me, one after the other.
Hey, what's that from above?
What is this feeling that comes over me?
Is it love for blood?
Do I desire her so much that I would cause her harm?
Hiding in the silence
I retreat into myself, unable to communicate my feelings with her.
One-way form of violence
My silence is a weapon, causing harm to our relationship.
Taste of the thunder from her thighs
Her passion is powerful and intense, like a bolt of lightning from between her legs.
Makes me shake
I am overwhelmed with desire and tremble at the thought of being with her.
Calmly kicking outwards
She reacts to my advances with a calm dismissal, pushing me away gently but firmly.
Is she misunderstood?
Do I fail to understand her true feelings and intentions?
Walking along the razor's edge
Our relationship is dangerous, as if we are balancing on a sharp blade that is just waiting to cut us.
And she sweetly moans
Despite our difficulties, there are times when we connect and she expresses her pleasure with a gentle moan.
One last kiss and away she goes
Our time together is fleeting, a quick kiss and then she disappears once more.
Obsessed with loveblood and yet no one knows
I am consumed by my desire for her, but no one else is aware of the depth of my obsession.

If anyone asks me, "Hey whats do you think is the most underrated band right now?" I will say Sundara Karma 4 Life until they get the mainstream credit they deserve
Ashley Riojas
saaaame
Gvidas Lipinas
Ryan Doede couldn't agree more. Found out about them a week ago from a friend and already got a ticket to see them!

But at the same time I want to keep them as a special secret aha
jay Lewis
if they became mainstream it would ruin them imo, they'd have a following of teen girls

jay Lewis and so what? If they get popular shouldn't change their music at all, and having recognition as an artist for whatever you do is like pretty much everything you work for (among other things of course), despite of the age of whoever hears it, the thing is to transmit something and make people feel, not being recognize enough doesn't make anyone a greater artist just as having millions of fan being mainstream doesn't make someone worse..

Random:- I discovered sundara karma one or two years ago accidentally. So I basically listen to a lot of indie Indian music ( I'm ethnically Indian) and I was listening to some random songs on Spotify and that's when their song 'she said' got recommended to me. I saw their name and was like "wow what a pretty name! " ( sundara karma means good deeds in Sanskrit btw). I heard the song and was astonished by their accents because I thought it was an Indian band at first. Then I started digging deep and came across more of their music. I fell in love with their songs and they're prolly my favorite band till date

Funny story, the drummer's dad actually comes in to the chippy I work in every Friday and I had no idea he was Haydn's dad until my boss was speaking to him and was like "Oh yeah my son's in a band called Sundara Karma" and he told me as he knows I love them and then a couple weeks later Haydn went to see Mark (his dad) and they organised for him to actually come to my house and meet me. If you don't believe me, I have a picture for proof :)
