Like hobophobe said, this is about hooking up with a stranger 'Who are you girl? Who are you boy?' guy and girl introducing themselves, in a phone call 'Bet I know what you're up to Can I come along Your home number's on the wall I just had to call, had to' He knows the girls nature, if her phone number is written on the wall, she probably likes to get laid with everybody and now he's asking for her permission to be there with her (Can I come along?) 'I'm not the only one Who will run with a knife'' He´s pretty well aware of these kind of risks 'Open up your eyes Open up your room Open up your arms' He got to her place and asking her to open her room and arms... these lines are pretty direct One six two seven eight 'Two six three seven eight nine where's your daddy now I heard he ran away' The number of the wall... now he asks her where is her daddy, meaning her partner, husband boyfriend or whoever takes care of her. He heard that she's alone, maybe her partner realized she's an easy girl and left her 'who are you girl? cause I'm so bored with myself' he doesn't even know her name and he's saying that hes bored of "doing it whit himself" translation: hes bored of masturbation, he prefers to be with her 'anyway any time and any place I'll just hang around' They finish and he says that he's going to be there when she wants, anytime and anywhere, he will be hanging around... he will be her regular john Then the phone number again as trying to memorize it.. This is a badass song... well done QOTSA |

| Queens of the Stone Age – The Blood Is Love Lyrics | 17 years ago |
|
To me, this song is about death... a drowning death to be more specific... 'I saw you, in a way Beyond figure out These lines of life have been drawn & can't be removed' Here, he's describing an abnormal situation (next described in the song), he saw his lover in a way that he can't describe, and how fate cannot be changed 'Open up your eyes Deep blue, glassy lake & swim 'til water & sky Now are one, out of two Oh, my bloodshot eyes' His girl was swimming in a lake (deep, blue and glassy) and now she's drowning and sinking, if you try to see the sky under the water it appears to be just one thing, they merge (now are one out of two). He's trying to save her and swims too, now his eyes are red because of the water or maybe he's been crying. it fits too. 'Open up your mouth Touch your lips to mine That we may make a kiss that can pierce through Death & survive Your words have branded my mind' Now he's trying to take her back to life, mouth to mouth breathing (open up your mouth and touch your lips to mine he's begging) because it seems to be the only way for her to survive. 'Still I hold your hand Wrapped as if a ring We of flesh & blood are only carrying It¹s so hard to' He was not able to save her and now he is only holding her hand (as a ring) and realizing about the nature of life, and how hard this is 'Well, you know The seed waits for the reaper to sow' Death is the fate that everything that lives 'Every breath an art The dignity to it can strain & break your heart' I'm pretty sure that it's "The dignity lo LEARN it", ok, here he's thinking about how difficult and great is life (with every breath) and how sad can be to learn it the bad way (losing someone you loved) 'Take all your pieces home You ask when you're alone, "What is Love?" The Blood is Love. ' He's home, alone, asking himself "What is love", and answering "The blood is love" because he realized that Love is related to life... (the blood is related to life in many cultures as someone above mentioned) Now as a side comment, when this song starts, the sound is very peculiar, I can relate the "carnivalish" sound as being played under the water... Well, that was my two cents... One of my favorites song from QOTSA |
