Cover art for Bloodflood lyrics by alt-J

it's about walking through the Southampton Common and the fear of being beaten up. about how in those situations your heart beats faster and your blood seems to rush faster: 'flood of blood to the heart'. It might be about a particular time he said something to someone which aggravated them to beat him up: 'I've poked a nerve, he'll slap me like a whale'. aka, s* I've p*** him off and he's much bigger then me so he's gonna hit me.
