Bloodstain
UNKLE & Alice Temple Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
This love would fall apart
I say, no way
You don't know the size of my heart.
Vicious, suspicious
It doesn't matter what I say
Users and losers
There's nothing here to make me stay.
Take it with no shame
Love tracks on a loose train
Bloodstain
No gain with no pain
My scars are deeper than you think
Tie me, try me
One more time before I sink.
Big lies, big times
This love is not what we're about
It's too late, and I'm too straight
It's time to blow this fire out.
Bloodstain on a blue vein
Take it with no shame
Love tracks on a loose train
Bloodstain on a blue vein
Take me softly
I'm going crazy for your touch.
Bloodstain on a blue vein
(Blue, blood, blue, blood, blue, blood)
Take it with no shame
(No, take, no, take, no, take)
I'm alone
And dissatisfied
And someone else is alone
And dissatisfied
You are alone?
The lyrics to "Bloodstain" by UNKLE & Alice Temple explore the complexities of love and the sacrifices that come with it. The first stanza sets up the idea that some people believe that love cannot survive without material things, while the singer refutes that claim and highlights the overwhelming nature of their love. The following stanzas address the challenges that come with relationships, including distrust, selfishness, and pain. The chorus, "Bloodstain on a blue vein, take it with no shame," can be interpreted as an embrace of the inevitable hurts that come with love, and a refusal to let past scars impede future connections. The bridge then emphasizes that even in difficult times, the singer is still desperate for love and human connection.
One possible interpretation of these lyrics is that the "bloodstain" represents the pain that comes with love, but it is ultimately a necessary part of the experience. The blue vein could be seen as a metaphor for the veins in our bodies that carry blood and keep us alive - love is similar, in that it can be painful but it is also essential to our well-being. The references to "users and losers" and "big lies, big times" suggest that the singer has been hurt and betrayed in the past, but they are still willing to take risks for love. The closing lines, "You are alone?" could be seen as a plea for human connection or a call to empathize with others who may be feeling lonely or dissatisfied.

They say if you took it all away
There's a belief that this love would end if everything disappears
This love would fall apart
The love would disintegrate without anything left
I say, no way
I disagree
You don't know the size of my heart.
You are not aware of the extensiveness of my capacity to love
Vicious, suspicious
It's brutal, full of doubt
It doesn't matter what I say
My words are insignificant
Users and losers
People who are just taking advantage and people who are left behind
There's nothing here to make me stay.
I'm leaving because there's nothing keeping me here
Bloodstain on a blue vein
A mark of past trauma
Take it with no shame
Accept the scars and past experiences
Love tracks on a loose train
Romantic experiences that are fleeting and directionless
No gain with no pain
There is no reward without suffering
My scars are deeper than you think
The wounds run beyond the surface
Tie me, try me
Bind me, attempt to manage me
One more time before I sink.
One last opportunity before I give up
Big lies, big times
Enormous falsehoods, grand events
This love is not what we're about
Our relationship is not centered on love
It's too late, and I'm too straight
It's past the point of no return, and I'm being honest about it
It's time to blow this fire out.
It's time to end this relationship
Take me softly
Handle me with care, gently
I'm going crazy for your touch.
I'm eagerly yearning for your physical contact
(Blue, blood, blue, blood, blue, blood)
An emphasis on the bloodstain on a blue vein
(No, take, no, take, no, take)
An emphasis on rejecting shame for past experiences
I'm alone
I am by myself
And dissatisfied
And unhappy with my current situation
And someone else is alone
And another person is also by themselves
And dissatisfied
And also unhappy with their current situation
You are alone?
Are you also alone?
