Bloody Lips
Redemption and Romance: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Chloe Defector's 'Bloody Lips'
Lyrics
The last time I kissed you I felt like you didn't want me to
The speaker felt unwanted during the last kiss.
And ever since that moment i felt ashamed of what I'd done
Regret and shame follow the mentioned moment of kissing.
I know what I did wrong and I don't know how to make it right
Acknowledgment of a mistake without knowing how to rectify it.
But I won't give up without a fight
Determination not to give up easily and to fight for the relationship.
You came into my life
Introduction of a person who entered the speaker's life during a challenging period.
When I needed you the most
Recognition of the supportive role of the mentioned person during a difficult time.
You showed me a life worth living
Expression of gratitude for the positive impact on the speaker's life.
Starting pits at every show
Reference to starting activities or events enthusiastically.
I don't know what I did to deserve you
Uncertainty about deserving the support received from the person.
Im grateful that you're in my life
Gratitude for the presence of the person in the speaker's life.
I want to be a better person
Desire to improve oneself for the benefit of the relationship.
I want to be worth your time
Expressed aspiration to be valuable and worthwhile to the person.
You had to watch me relapse and nobody deserves to have to see that
Admission of a relapse and the pain the person witnessed during that time.
I kept cracking open beer cans and you kept taking them out of my hands
Conflict with substance abuse indicated by the speaker's actions and the person's intervention.
You got me into ska and now I'm writing a bunch of songs taking influence
Positive influence of the person on the speaker's music and themes.
From the better parts of my life instead of singing about how I wanted to die
Shift in songwriting focus from negative to positive aspects of life.
So let's watch Adventure Time and make out and maybe sixty nine
Suggestive and intimate invitation to spend quality time together.
And smoke a bowl and spend the night and do whatever's on your mind
Openness to various activities, showing a willingness to share experiences.
And thanks for putting up with all my shit and having me over when I was dope sick
Gratitude for tolerating the speaker's flaws and being supportive during tough times.
I'll make it up to you when I get home from rehab
Promise to make amends after completing rehabilitation.
I knew I was getting better
Recognition of personal improvement and positive changes.
As we started getting closer
Linking emotional progress to growing closer in the relationship.
Like the time when you came over
Recollection of a specific moment of increased intimacy.
After I had gotten sober
Reference to a positive event following the speaker's sobriety.
We stood topless in the kitchen
Shared vulnerability and dreams discussed in an intimate setting.
And we talked about our dreams
Physical closeness and deep conversation in a vulnerable state.
And I couldn't sleep so I stayed
Insomnia mentioned while the person sleeps nearby.
Up while you slept next to me
Observation of the person sleeping next to the speaker.
I stepped out of the mosh pit to wipe blood off my lips
Literal description of leaving a mosh pit with blood on the lips.
Then the next band bloodied yours up too
Parallel experience of the person also having bloodied lips, possibly from the mosh pit.
When you showed me I don't know what was going through my head
Uncertain thoughts and emotions during a shared experience.
I couldn't help but think I want to kiss you
Expressed desire to kiss the person despite uncertain feelings.
