In My Blood
Weather Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're just a child acting like a man, no one cares how hard you tried
I'm your crushing doubts, I'm your crippling needs, and I've been here your whole life
I'm the feeling you get when you think about love and you realize that there's none left
I'm the one who you let take control; a feeling, just outside of reach
And the best part is you're stuck in here with me

Oh dear boy, do you still wear that weak heart on your sleeve
Try not to get too comfortable now. In time, you'll know she'll leave
Oh, don't you cry - do you that they care
I won't let you make a peep as they cast you out and they cut you down and they leave you - leave you here to bleed

Now I know about the lies that you've been told - like it gets better
But son, I ain't going anywhere, that's plain to see
And the best part is you're stuck in here with me

Bryce - you know, this will never grow old, this thing between you and I
You beat me fair, but I'm always there. And I'll be here 'til you die
You can bury me deep, you can try to to forget, but I'm just beneath your feet
You can fake being happy, or simply content
But I'll always, oh I'll always, come back to feed

Now I know about the lies that you've been told - like it gets better
But son, I ain't going anywhere, that's plain to see
And the best part is that I can say you're nothing
You're a freak.
And you'll lose all that you seek, and that's all thanks to me.
Gee, ain't we the very best of friends
Try and fight me all you can, but the best part is I'll be here 'til the end





You're nothing. You're a freak. And you'll lose all that you seek, and that's all thanks to me
Gee, ain't we the very best of friends

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to "In My Blood" by Weather depict an internal struggle and a toxic relationship with one's own insecurities and self-doubt. The song personifies these negative emotions and presents them as a constant presence in the singer's life. The lyrics convey a sense of despair, hopelessness, and resignation to the fact that these feelings will always come back to haunt them.


The opening lines, "You're just a child acting like a man, no one cares how hard you tried," suggest that despite the singer's efforts to mature and overcome their struggles, they feel as though their attempts are futile and go unnoticed. The following lines, "I'm your crushing doubts, I'm your crippling needs, and I've been here your whole life," further emphasize the overwhelming and enduring nature of these negative emotions.


The chorus repeats the line, "And the best part is you're stuck in here with me," which acts as a haunting reminder that the singer is trapped in a cycle of self-doubt and negativity. The reference to a "weak heart on your sleeve" and the warning that someone will eventually leave suggests a fear of being vulnerable and abandoned due to these insecurities.


The second verse introduces the character "Bryce," possibly representing a personal struggle or a specific person who has contributed to the singer's negative mindset. The lyrics imply that regardless of any victories or successes, the burden of self-doubt and insecurities will always resurface. The closing lines of the song reiterate the singer's belief that they are nothing, a freak, and will lose everything they seek, with the toxic voice in their head taking credit for their downfall.


Overall, "In My Blood" delves into the internal dialogue of a person grappling with their own insecurities, self-doubt, and the damaging thoughts that continuously plague them.

Roses are red
violets are blue
sugar is sweet
and so are you

The roses have wilted
the violets are dead
the sugar bowls empty
Our blood no longer red

The sun isn't shining
the skies aren't clear
there's no silver lining
cause your no longer here

The world left me
to rot and die
no one helped me
I continued to cry

My friends abandoned me
I was on my own
I couldn't see
I was all alone

Rain keeps on pouring
there's no end in sight
I lay there frozen
so far from the light

Stranded and lost
but we've had some fun
but time can't be turned
nor your actions undone

The words that you wrote
which only I read
"I love you so much
please don't cry when I'm dead"

a bond that we formed
a love that ran deep
a pain that we shared
a friend I could keep

I wanted to hold you
wipe the tears from your eyes
been there the moment
you said you goodbye

I want to forget but most times I don't
I want to let go but I know I wont
tears on my face, memories burned in my head
Overcome with sorrow laying, in my bed

The words you said
where they all just a lie
the words I read
when you told me not to cry

The roses have wilted...
the violets are dead
I'm coming to join you
finally overcome with dread.

In My Blood
Shawn Mendes
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
Laying on the bathroom floor, feeling nothing
I'm overwhelmed and insecure, give me something
I could take to ease my mind slowly
Just have a drink and you'll feel better
Just take her home and you'll feel better
Keep telling me that it gets better
Does it ever?
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
I'm looking through my phone again, feeling anxious
Afraid to be alone again, I hate this
I'm trying to find a way to chill, can't breathe, oh
Is there somebody who could
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I'm crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
I need somebody now
Someone to help me out
I need somebody now
Help me, it's like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
But I just can't
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
It isn't in my blood
I need somebody now
It isn't in my blood

Help me, It’s like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up but I just can’t
It isn’t in my blood

Laying on the bathroom floor
Feeling nothing
I’m overwhelmed and insecure
Give me something

Just have a drink and you’ll feel better
Just take her home and you’ll feel better
Keep telling me that it gets better
Does it ever?

Help me, it’s like the walls are caving in
Sometimes I feel like giving up
No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I’m crawling in my skin
Sometimes I feel like giving up but I just can’t

It isn’t in my blood
It isn’t in my blood
I’m Looking through my phone again, feeling anxious
Afraid to be alone again, I hate this
I’m tryna find a way to chill, can’t breathe, oh

No medicine is strong enough
Someone help me
I’m crawling in my skin

I need somebody now
Someone to help me out
I need somebody now

It isn’t in my blood
I need somebody now
It isn’t in my blood
I need somebody now
It isn’t in my blood

[The End]
