Blood Lyrics

I hate you for the sacrifices you made for me
I hate you for every time you ever bled for me
I hate you for the way you smile when you look at me
I hate you for never taking control of me
I hate you for always saving me from myself
I hate...

    I agree with what everyone is saying...but personally i think its about injecting drugs and that her spouse is trying to help then gets sick of trying because she won't stop the drug abuse even with his help. so she hates him for helping but loves him for leaving and putting her down. when she injects the drugs...it relates to me alot atleast.

    I can see it being taken in many ways. Like it could relate to relationsships, drugs, god, or even parents. Some people get treated like shit and pushed around their whole lives growing up but in the end they are greatful because what they accomplish or who they became. It fits them all and I love this song.

    interesting interpretations. my opintion? "pump mud through my veins" totally drugs and not a dude. also its a love/hate relationship that most addicts go through. This song is about an addict struggling to stay away.

    I think she's singing bout heroin...think bout it she hates all the good things she thinks she gets from it n she loves all the bad things bc its a bad drug...blood/mud in her veins that's my guess

    Sounds like she's talking to God in the first verse and satan in the second......

    I see many ways this song can be told...about a guy. or maybe a drug? not saying she is into a drug. but she could be talking about a drug like a person. or it is actually about a man or both?

    Maria said in an interview that this song has different meanings to different people. For me it's about being sexually abused. I think just because it's happened to me before and this song kinda fits all the emotions you go through. But if also really sounds like she is singing to two men. Good guy and bad guy. But I love this song and it makes me feel so much rage when I box. Thank you ITM! <3

    I think she wants to push the guy away. She hates all the good things he does for her because she doesnt wanna love him. and she 'loves' the bad things because it makes it easier for her to let him go. I think shes also a bit confused.

    I think she is singing to two types of men...not to one man in particular...

    Notice how she hates everything that is the empitome of a "nice guy," in the first verse, while she loves everything that is the epitome of the "bad boy" in the next verse....

    This type of woman (or just woman in general) always take advantage of the nice guy (bleed you dry)....she uses all of her womanly techniques to carry out this....beauty, flesh, temptation (the apple symbolism in the video)....in other works she will do anything dirty (pour mud through my viens) to get what she wants out of the nice guy....

    but she secretly desires the "bad boy...."

    So men take notes.....

    "I hate you for the sacrifices you made for me
    I hate you for every time you ever bled for me
    I hate you for the way you smile when you look at me
    I hate you for never taking control of me
    I hate you for always saving me from myself
    I hate you for always choosing me and not someone else
    I hate you for always pulling me back from the edge
    I hate you for every kind word you ever said I’ll bleed you dry now"

    I believe she means that she hates herself, and because of this she hates that this person is so kind to her when she thinks that she deserves nothing better than to be treated like dirt. Mud.

    "I love you for everything you ever took from me
    I love the way you dominate and you violate me
    I love you for every time you gave up on me
    I love you for the way you look when you lie to me
    I love you for never believing in what I say
    I love you for never once giving me my way
    I love you for never delivering me from pain
    I love you for always driving me insane"

    This is how she believes she should be treated, and so when she is treated like that hated being she feels she is she feels better about hating herself because the person is being just as worthy of hate.
