| Death from Above 1979 – Blood on Our Hands Lyrics
| 20 years ago
|
In the first verse, he's trying to avoid her, and he's hurting her with words (because when you bleed, you hurt). They've been avoiding the bedroom, obviously, from them falling out or they're sleeping around with other people. The guy has done more than one bad thing, and the woman is obviously very hurt.
Second verse, the woman is hurting other people, by screwing them over and the guy just wants her out of his life.
It seems that the guy wants to get back together with the girl, even after all the bad shit they've done. Anyway, I love all their songs, but this is my favorite as of current. |

i wish people would stop with the jd/interpol shit. just... shut up. (but i do have to say that not all songs need to have some immediate, obvious meaning. interpol certainly doesn't do that and that's what i like.)
anyway, in something completely related to the purpose of this site, i feel that the girl is pulling away and the guy just wants to her stay (There is love to be made / so just stay here for this while). i would've liked it if the lyrics were 'how many days will it take to mend? / how many ways to reach your hand?' because that makes more sense, somehow. have you guys heard the carlos d remix? i love it. |

what i meant was that lindsay's song was talking about the media and jem's seems to be doing the same. except, jem does 100x better job at it. sheesh.
however, it relates more to women following men's orders like beachykeen said. |

dude what the hell happened to this place? I mean, I've read some ridiculous posts like "I LUV THIS SOGN!)@# WTFCHICKENBBQ" but nothing like this. Congrats, ya'll are the first.
ANYWAY I'm actually going to be on topic and say this is a really sweet song. I mean, who wouldn't want a man who'd surprise you when you're down? Especially if he's Paul Banks, mmm. |

I love how it makes me wanna dance, but the lyrics are so fucking sad because "everybody's gonna make it to the cemetary" means that we're all going to die eventually and end up in a cemetary. |

speculate - HAH. thank you.
anyway, what I think this song's about is a relationship (or lack of) between two co-workers and the narrator wants to get with this person. the narrator's life is completely routine (but as for my days / i spend them waiting), and she'd end up appreciating more things if she realized the limited time (death) she has in life. |

haha i feel soo bad for liking this song because it's so funny but it is disturbing like someone else said. It's about child prostitution and how the guy wanted to help the girl out. She didn't want it so she still is a prostitute. |

I love love love loooove this song. 'kay, now that's out of the way, I think this song is about a forbidden relationship or a one-sided relationship. The girl wants sex and the guy wants to be *with* her. As for the forbidden relationship, they both could be like Romeo and Juliet but the tension gets too much so they'll just have one night together and then the next day they'll act like they were before. I love the line, "you know what happens with the lights back on" because that represents the consequences. |

I agree with everyone else that it's about a guy who wants a girl that's not in his reach. However, the line "she's not so special, so look what you've done boy" makes me think that he did something stupid for a girl that's not really worth his time.
And wow, didn't notice the Jesus analogies, but I think he's just comparing. |

ahh, maladjustedoor, the song makes more sense when you put it that way. I read the real meaning and I didn't get it.
to me, it seems like this Sandy is occupied with someone/something else and this guy is wanting attention from her. later on, Sandy does give the attention he wants. On the other hand, the 'why can't we look the other way' line can be read as if Rosemary were there at some place at the same time as Sandy and this guy and he doesn't want Rosemary to see them. |

at first I thought this song was about two people who are so in love that whatever one does affects the other. The second time I thought it's just about someone wanting to do their partner. However, rape also fits in this. |

I absolutely love this song. It's about two people who are in the music business (obviously from "when you are out there on the road for
several weeks of shows") and he's missing her.
Am also loving the corresponding shapes part and the line, "everything looks perfect from far away" because IMO it seems like he doesn't want to deal with whatever's happening and he wants to get away to avoid it. |
