Good morning, flood of blood
Good morning, everyone
C
O-double
M-O-N
A wave, an awesome wave
That rushes skin and widens in flooded veins
Breathe in, exhale
I've poked a nerve; he'll slap me like a whale
Slaps the C
O-double
M-O-N
Tide out, tide in
A flood of blood to the heart and the fear slipstreams
Breathe in, exhale
I've poked a nerve; he'll slap me like a whale
Slaps the C
O-double
M-O-N
(C-O-Double M-O-N)
Flood, flood, flood
Flood of blood, blood, blood
To the heart, heart, heart
To the heart, heart, heart, heart
Flood, flood, flood
Flood of blood, blood, blood
To the heart, heart, heart
To the heart, heart, heart, heart
(C-O-Double M-O-N)
Flood, flood, flood
Flood of blood, blood, blood
To the heart, heart, heart
To the heart, heart, heart, heart
Flood, flood, flood
Flood of blood, blood, blood
To the heart, heart, heart
To the heart, heart, heart, heart
About This Song
"Bloodflood" is a haunting exploration of overwhelming emotion and physical sensation, using oceanic metaphors to describe the rush of blood and feeling that accompanies intense experiences like love, fear, or confrontation. The cryptic lyrics blend anatomical imagery with maritime symbolism, suggesting how powerful emotions can flood through the body like tidal waves, while the repeated "C-O-double M-O-N" spelling creates an almost ritualistic chant that adds to the song's mysterious atmosphere. Musically, the track showcases alt-J's signature style with intricate vocal harmonies, unconventional song structure, and a blend of electronic and organic instrumentation that creates an otherworldly soundscape. The song's distinctive falsetto vocals and complex rhythmic patterns helped establish alt-J as innovators in the indie rock scene, making "Bloodflood" a standout track that captures both vulnerability and intensity through its unique artistic vision.
