In a haunting narrative, Sampha explores themes of paranoia, guilt, and the relentless pursuit of inner demons. The recurring imagery of grey hoodies and faceless figures symbolizes the ever-present threats that haunt him. The vivid descriptions of blood-red skies and breathless awakenings suggest a deep-seated fear that transcends mere nightmares, hinting at unresolved trauma or emotional distress. The protagonist's desperate attempts to escape—stealing a car, accelerating uncontrollably—mirror his struggle to outrun these intangible pursuers. Despite moments of intervention where someone pulls him back from the brink, the sense of impending doom remains palpable. This evocative portrayal underscores the inescapability of one's own psyche when grappling with internal conflict. #Paranoia #InnerDemons #EmotionalDistress
Blood On Me
Lyrics
Ay, oh, I am, ay, oh, I
Grey hoodies, they cover their heads
I can't see their faces
I can't see, see, see, see, see
They knew me
Look, sweat on my head
My heart's thumpin', drummin'
No need, no need to take from me
Don't throw the paint on me
I see this lake formin'
I got lost astray
In this forest runnin' away
I slip up, I'm on the edge now
They see me, and I nearly
I nearly lose my grip, but you held on to me
And you shake me, and tell me that I'm okay, but
I swear they smell the blood on me
I hear them coming for me
I swear they smell the blood on me
I hear them coming for me, for me
I wake up and the sky's blood red
I'm still heavy breathin'
Felt so much more than dreamin'
I get up, they're at the edge of my bed
Yeah, how did they find me, find me?
They said there's somethin' bleedin' in me
Somethin' screamin' in me
Somethin' buried deep beneath
Well I need to, need to get away
So I get it, steal this get-away
And I accelerate, and I accelerate
But my gears got stuck
I'm on this road now
I'm so alone now, swervin' out of control now
And I crash the whip
And this tree flew through me
Arms out, you pull me
And wipe my wounds clean
I swear they smell the blood on me
I hear them coming for me
I swear they smell the blood on me
I hear them coming for me, for me
Ay, oh, I am, ay, oh, I am
I swear they smell the blood on me
I hear them coming for me
I swear they smell the blood on me
I hear them coming for me, for me, yeah
