White Blood Lyrics

Cover art for White Blood lyrics by Oh Wonder

I'm ready to go, I'm ready to go Can't do it alone, can't do it alone I'm ready to run through the heat of the sun Can't do it alone, can't do it alone

  • I feel like its a song about someone who is, in a way, prepared with their life but like everyone in this world, have someone or something to depend on. Without something to depend on, it feels like you "can't do it alone". To run through the "heat of the sun" is saying that this person is ready to go through the pressure of life and society, but "cant do it alone"

I'm ready to fall, so tired of it all Down deep in a hole, can't do it alone I'm ready to climb this mountain inside Impossible heights

  • I think that this song is expressing about exhaustion from under the pressure of stress. And like how anyone would want, to run away and hide "down deep in a hole" or climb a mountain from the inside which I feel like is this person's shell they hide behind, again stating that they want the person they depend on there. Impossible heights is something everyone normally feels when it gets too much

Said you'd always be my white blood Circulate the right love Giving me your white blood I need you right here with me Said you'd always be my white blood Elevate my soul above Giving me your white blood I need you right here with me

  • white bloods is something in your body that protects you and fights against viruses and other type of harmful bacteria and illnesses. In this song, the "white blood" should be the person this someone is depending on, a person that gives the someone protection, support and fights for them. Wanting this person "circulate the right love" and "elevate my soul above" shows how this song is asking for the love they want from this person, hoping that its the right type of love and it will make them happy
My Interpretation

@MeneMoone Thank you for breaking it down as you did. My best friend\'s family played this at his funeral 5 years ago. For some reason, I never thought to look into the term "white blood" to see what it means. Now I understand why they chose that song. His sister, Mom, & dad were telling him to protect them & to fight off any negativity that they may encounter. I have had this song on repeat for the last hour.
