Blood
The Bankrobber Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Blood runs from my nose
Falls on my clothes
To make me forget about your eyes
′Till the day i die, no more sunshine

I prefer to take, take it as a game
The sun rises when i go to bed
These lights are red, please go ahead

Come with me
I'll show you how it feels
Life on the razor′s edge
My heart is made of steel
That's what i want to be
Horizon of the sea
Nobody cares for me
I'm trying to be free
I told you
Come with me
I′ll show you what it means
When you look at me
I feel just like a queen
That′s where I want to be
You saved me from the freeze
Nobody cares for me
I'm trying to be free

I don′t want to drown
And not even get down
We grew up in lies life suks i know
I feel like a worm I feel tired and worn out

I hurl like a wave
Only the brave once
Try to stay afloat
They try not to fall
To fall in the hall - to fall through tomorrow

Come with me
I'll show you how it feels
Life on the razor′s edge
My heart is made of steel
That's what i want to be
Horizon of the sea
Nobody cares for me
I′m trying to be free
I told you
Come with me
I'll show you what it means
When you look at me
I feel just like a queen
That's where I want to be
You saved me from the freeze

Nobody cares for me
I′m trying to be free

Overall Meaning

The Bankrobber's song "Blood" is a powerful piece that portrays the emotions of someone who feels abandoned, isolated and hurt. The metaphorical use of blood in the lyrics symbolizes the pain and hurt that the singer is feeling. The opening lines, 'Blood runs from my nose, falls on my clothes,' suggests that the singer has been in a fight and has been left bleeding, physically and emotionally. He cannot stop the bleeding or the hurt that he is feeling, and so he tries to forget about the one who caused it. He talks about not seeing any sunshine until the day he dies, emphasizing that the pain is constant and will never go away.

As the song progresses, we find out that the singer wants to take this pain as a game, living his life on the razor's edge. He talks about red lights and how he wants to proceed. He invites someone to 'come with me' and experience the same pain, but also the freedom that comes with it. He describes his heart as made of steel, and his desire to be on the horizon of the sea, away from the pain and the cares of the world. He speaks about his willingness to take risks, no matter what the end result.

In the last verse, the singer expresses his desire to live freely and not be drowned by the lies that life throws our way. He talks about feeling like a worm and being tired and worn out. He compares his life to a wave, where only the brave ones try to stay afloat. He invites the person he addresses in the song to come with him, where he feels like a queen, and where no one cares for him. He wants to be free, and the only way he sees of achieving that freedom is by taking risks and living his life to the fullest.
