 Song 82

Hello everyone, and welcome back to the blog! :) I have another wonderful song for you all today! So without further explanation, here we go! Today's song is Blood On The Walls by Attack Attack! So for the intro, it's pretty raw that's how I would put it. With the instruments all compiled together, forming this raw metalcore sound. Which is a mix of electronic and rock. Verse 1: "Excuse the mess, I just had to give you all of me. I'll take your wrath, I won't take a half apology."  Trying to unpack this verse is a little tricky, so I'll leave this verse up to you the readers to analyze. The pre-chorus: "You drop me in a hole like ketamine, six feet where you leave what's left of me. Made a home where I thought I'd never be, look what you've done." This means he was treated badly before, I think.  The chorus: "Blood on the walls, dip the brush in my veins. Hate how I love what you've done with the place. Every night we play a game of chess, black and white but now I'm seeing red. Blood on the walls, baby don't make me beg, beg for death." Ok, I think what they're saying here, is they don't want to be treated like trash anymore. Second verse: "I can't escape cause I need you like an enemy, climb in my cage, you can end me like a tragedy." Now I feel like he's saying that they need them, when they don't really need them? Maybe? I'm not entirely sure, but that's how it feels to me. The bridge: "Why do I love it when you treat me like a piece of meat? Cut me up till there's nothing really left of me, good thing there's such thing as double jeopardy. Cause every night you make the bedroom a murder scene." I think our protagonist in this story, is some kind of masochist. Meaning that he actually likes it when he's being abused, that may not be the word I'm looking for here. But that's how I see these lyrics. Then you have the last line, where he says "Baby, don't make me beg, beg for death." Which is kind of giving off mixed signals, this song is a little all over the place with what it's about. But I still really like it, I like the edginess of it. I like the melody, and the vocals. Plus I never listened to this band before, and wanted to give them a shot. I'm really glad I did, because it exposed to this unique song. 

See you next time! :)
