Cover art for Blood lyrics by In This Moment

This is what the song says to me: The speaker is in a relationship in which she is controlled or manipulated by another person; she is dependent upon the other person’s needs or control while placing herself at a lower priority. She’s unable to accept positive forms of affection and caring in the first verse. She has low self-esteem, for whatever reason. The partner’s abuse is what she craves in the second verse. She’s addicted to the relationship, to the cycle of behavior. She struggles within herself. She hates her partner and wants to rage and assert herself, but she needs him/her at the same time. It is unclear whether she is addressing her partner or herself when she says, “Shut your dirty, dirty mouth, I'm not that insane,” but then retreats and tells the partner and/or herself, “I'm a dirty, dirty girl, I want it filthy.”
