Lyrics
Alright
Expression of affirmation or agreement.
I left with shaking hands, looking for danger
Departure with a sense of unease, actively seeking risky situations.
Details of modern love, in bed with strangers
Focus on the complexities of contemporary relationships involving intimacy with unknown individuals.
And there is no warning, I'm not ignoring
Acknowledgment of the absence of warning, with a denial of ignorance.
I cut glass on my callused feet
Physical harm endured, possibly metaphorical, as a result of navigating a challenging environment.
Cause I walk through miles of make shift mud
Enduring hardship symbolized by walking through makeshift mud for miles.
Motherf*****s I want your blood
An aggressive expression of intent to harm, possibly metaphorical, expressing a desire for revenge.
I got the hands of history's stranglers
Identification with individuals from history known for violence or control.
And the midnight sky reflects off my skin
Nighttime imagery reflecting a connection with the mysterious and possibly menacing.
I got the flesh of a million strangers
Physical composition characterized by the experiences of many unknown individuals.
Your never gonna see me closing in
Confident assertion that the speaker will remain elusive or distant.
Yeah, while you're sleeping
An action occurring during the period when others are unaware, possibly indicating a sinister motive.
No need for safe return, is no need for your concern
Rejecting the necessity for a safe return, dismissing concerns for personal safety.
There is no warning, I'm not ignoring
Reiteration of the absence of warning, denying any intentional ignorance.
I follow you across the county lines
Pursuit across geographic boundaries, suggesting a relentless pursuit.
And these beads of sweat feel like a flood
Intense effort represented by beads of sweat, emphasizing a forceful presence.
You motherf***** I want your blood
Reiterated aggressive intent, emphasizing a desire for the target's blood.
I got the hands of history's stranglers
Repetition of identification with historical figures associated with control or violence.
And the midnight sky reflects off my skin
Continuation of nighttime imagery, emphasizing an eerie connection with the sky.
I got the flesh of a million strangers
Repetition of the speaker's physical composition, suggesting a multitude of diverse experiences.
Your never going to see me closing in
Reassurance that the speaker will remain elusive and distant, not approaching the target.
Your never going to see me closing in
Reiteration of the speaker's commitment to remaining unseen or distant.
While you're sleeping
Repetition of actions occurring during others' unawareness, emphasizing a potentially sinister motive.
Breaking through your window, stabbing through your ribcage
Explicit description of a violent act, reinforcing the aggressive theme throughout the lyrics.
