Discover the story of the song > Blood Oath – Alice Glass

In these lyrics, the protagonist is talking about how someone took away her innocence. They're saying that innocence can't be given as a gift, and once it's taken, it can't be returned. The chorus talks about how people should be forgiven and forgotten when they're young, but instead they are hurt and their growth is stunted. The protagonist feels suffocated by the person who took their innocence. In the second verse, they question if consequences matter if nobody sees them. The chorus repeats the theme of betrayal and burning the seeds that the protagonist has planted. The breakdown emphasizes that the person who took their innocence can't take it back, and the final chorus talks about how the person took something from the protagonist without their consent. The song ends with the repetition of bleeding and the idea that this isn't in their heart and that the person can't take it back.
