This Bloody Love
Bloody Bonds: Wrestling with Love's Stranglehold
Lyrics
When I'm digging through the anger
Expressing the act of delving into one's anger.
Excavating pain
Uncovering emotional distress and suffering.
Picking at the bleeding scabs
Continuously revisiting emotional wounds that are still raw.
I'm doing it again?
Questioning the repetition of these actions.
Why do I return here?
Asking why there is a return to this painful place despite knowing the consequences.
When I know the price I'll pay
Acknowledging the anticipated cost or consequence of returning to this emotional state.
I need to learn to let this go
Recognizing the need to release this attachment and move on.
To turn and run away
Desiring to break free and escape from this cycle of pain.
But this bloody love won't set me free
Emphasizing that despite efforts, love is confining rather than liberating.
This bloody love is strangling me
Describing how intense love feels suffocating and overwhelming.
Our love is dead and should be gone
Stating that the relationship is over and should be finished.
But this bloody love keeps hanging on
Highlighting the lingering and persistent nature of this love despite its demise.
Our love was hot, our love was fierce
Recalling the passionate and intense nature of their past love.
It could have fueled the sun
Comparing the intensity of their love to a source of immense energy.
Our love was pain and hurt and hate
Describing their love as filled with pain, hurt, and resentment, akin to a dangerous weapon.
It was a loaded gun
Portraying the volatile and potentially harmful nature of their relationship.
We both knew we should end it
Acknowledging the mutual understanding that their relationship should end.
This twisted, damaged drug
Referring to the dysfunctional nature of their love as an addictive substance.
Our love was on a life-support
Describing their dying love as being artificially sustained.
Time to pull the plug
Suggesting it's time to terminate the lingering attachment to the dying relationship.
But this bloody love won't set me free
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped by a love that refuses to let go.
This bloody love is strangling me
Expressing how this love feels suffocating and constricting.
Our love is dead and should be gone
Confirming that the relationship is over and should cease to exist.
But this bloody love keeps hanging
Stressing the persistent nature of the love that continues despite its end.
How can I explode this?
Pondering ways to put an end to this intense emotion and situation.
Can I light the fuse?
Metaphorically considering igniting the process to end the love affair.
Do I even want to?
Questioning the desire to end the relationship considering the person's influence or inspiration.
When maybe she's my muse
Speculating whether the person is the source of artistic inspiration despite the turmoil.
But this bloody love won't set me free
Reiterating the feeling of being trapped in a love that won't fade away.
This bloody love is strangling me
Expressing the suffocating and constricting nature of the persistent love.
Our love is dead and should be gone
Confirming that the relationship is over and should no longer persist.
But this bloody love keeps hanging
Reiterating the ongoing nature of the love despite its supposed end.
