Blow
YADi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Hey)! Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh,
Woah, oh-oh!
(Hey)! Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh.

Now our youth is over,
That word it fills my bowl.
The pain has left me,
Feeling alone, oh-oh,
Alone, oh-oh.

Your love is like a gunshot,
(Hey)! In a bloody show,
Just keep on shooting,
'Cause I can't feel the blow.

I'll have another,
(Hey)! I'm so addicted!
Just keep on shooting,
'Cause I can't feel the blow.

(Blow, blow, blow, blow),
(Blow, blow, blow).

Your words are bleeding,
The ink is seeping through.
The stain has left me feeling,
Alone, oh-oh, we are not alone.

Your love is like a gunshot,
(Hey)! In a bloody show,
Just keep on shooting,
'Cause I can't feel the blow.

I'll have another,
(Hey)! I'm so addicted!
Just keep on shooting,
'Cause I can't feel the blow.

Another echo, another ghost,
Another day goes before you're home.
Another echo, another ghost,
Another day goes before you're home.

Your love is like a gunshot,
(Hey)! In a bloody show,
Just keep on shooting,
'Cause I can't feel the blow.

I'll have another,
(Hey)! I'm so addicted!
Just keep on shooting,
'Cause I can't feel the blow.

Hey! We'll never know,
Just keep on shooting,
'Cause I can't feel the blow.
Another day, (hey), another victim,
Just keep on shooting,
'Cause I can't feel the blow.

Just keep on shooting, (hey)!
'Cause I can't feel the blow, (hey)!
Just keep on shooting, (hey)!
'Cause I can't feel the blow, (hey)!





(Hey)!

Overall Meaning

The song "Blow" by YADi reflects the feeling of being stuck in an addictive and destructive relationship, unable to escape the pain and turbulence of the love. The song begins with a catchy chant-like chorus, with the repetition of "Hey!" and "Oh-oh!" which gives it a powerful and energetic start. The lyrics then continue with the metaphor of love being like a gunshot in a bloody show, representing the painful and dramatic aspect of the relationship. The imagery of shooting and addiction is repeated throughout the song, with the line "I'll have another," signifying how the singer is trapped by their own habits and desires, unable to break free of the cycle of pain caused by the relationship.


The second verse of the song mentions how the singer feels alone, even though the relationship is still ongoing. The line "Your words are bleeding, the ink is seeping through," suggests that the pain caused by the relationship is more emotional than physical. The chorus repeats again, hammering home the sense of stuckness and repetition that the singer feels. The final lines of the song speak about the inability to escape the addiction, even though it is causing harm, and tackling the idea that sometimes, in love and in life, we cannot escape our own pain even if we know it's damaging us.
