amoura Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You should bite your tongue just to taste the blood, you fucking worthless, belligerent waste of god damn breath, I curse you. Can they read my mind? I would take the life of who brought you here. I stand with many. Will they see the signs?

Leave nothing left, the hunter and the prey, face down dying, coward, better pray

Hell begins in the womb of a dying mother, with her nerves on fire, lives in motion, brought us here.

I'm alive now can't you feel it? Bleed out, baby, bleed out, bleed out. It's inside you, and I need it, bleed out, baby, bleed out, bleed out.
I'm alive now can't you feel it? Bleed out, baby, bleed out, bleed out. It's inside you, and I need it, bleed out, baby, bleed out, bleed out.

I'm alive now, it's inside you.

You are the one who will fall on the back of the world.

I'm alive now can't you feel it? Bleed out, baby, bleed out, bleed out. It's inside you, and I need it, bleed out, baby, bleed out bleed out.

I'm alive now, it's inside you.

The gift of life is the currency of hate, relieved to breathe again, I need to feel you again.

I need to feel you again.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of amoura's song "Motion" depict a sense of anger, aggression, and desperation. The opening line "You should bite your tongue just to taste the blood, you fucking worthless, belligerent waste of god damn breath, I curse you" is full of fury and malice towards someone who has caused great harm. The line "Can they read my mind? I would take the life of who brought you here" highlights the intense desire to seek revenge on someone's instigator. The singer also mentions standing with many, and asking if they will see the signs, which suggests that they are not alone in their quest for revenge.

The next part of the song talks about the circle of life and death, beginning with the line "Hell begins in the womb of a dying mother, with her nerves on fire, lives in motion, brought us here." This line could suggest that life is a cycle of suffering and pain, and that it is the gift of life that ultimately brings hate and anger into the world. The repetition of "Bleed out, baby, bleed out, bleed out. It's inside you, and I need it, bleed out, baby, bleed out, bleed out" further emphasizes the desperate need to release pain and anger, possibly through violence.

The final lines of the song "The gift of life is the currency of hate, relieved to breathe again, I need to feel you again. I need to feel you again" bring the theme of revenge and desperation full circle. The singer acknowledges that life, which should be a gift, can also be the source of hate and suffering. The line "relieved to breathe again" could suggest that the singer feels like they have been given a second chance to right the wrongs that have been done to them, and they need to feel that sense of power and relief again through the act of revenge.

Line by Line Meaning

You should bite your tongue just to taste the blood, you fucking worthless, belligerent waste of god damn breath, I curse you.
I despise you and wish nothing but harm upon you, to the point of inflicting physical pain on yourself just to have a taste of your blood. I consider you a useless and hostile waste of oxygen and wish you ill.

Can they read my mind? I would take the life of who brought you here. I stand with many. Will they see the signs?
I wonder if others can sense the violent thoughts that consume me, the desire to kill whoever was responsible for bringing you into my life. I feel like part of a larger group, but I'm not sure if others will recognize the signs of my anger and aggression.

Leave nothing left, the hunter and the prey, face down dying, coward, better pray
In this battle between predator and prey, I will spare nothing and leave no trace behind. You will cower and pray for mercy as you lie dying on the ground.

Hell begins in the womb of a dying mother, with her nerves on fire, lives in motion, brought us here.
I believe that the root of all suffering and pain can be traced back to the moment of our birth, when we are torn from the safety and warmth of the womb and thrust into a world of pain and uncertainty. This trauma sets our lives in motion, leading us down a path of suffering and struggle.

I'm alive now can't you feel it? Bleed out, baby, bleed out, bleed out. It's inside you, and I need it, bleed out, baby, bleed out, bleed out.
I am alive and full of energy, and I want you to share in that feeling by bleeding out your pain and anger. There is a life force inside of you that I crave, and I want you to let it go.

You are the one who will fall on the back of the world.
You are destined to bear the weight of the world's suffering and pain, to carry the burden of all that is wrong and unjust.

The gift of life is the currency of hate, relieved to breathe again, I need to feel you again.
Life itself is a burden, a currency of suffering and anguish that we exchange with each other. But despite this, I am grateful to be alive and feel a sense of relief with each breath. Even though our relationship is fraught with negative emotions, I still feel the need to connect with you on a deep level.

I need to feel you again.
Even though our relationship is damaged and full of pain, I still feel a deep need to connect with you and experience your presence.
