melanie martinez - dragon's blood (2021 unreleased) [lyrics & sub. español]

📸: @tomuchmelanie
"Dragon's Blood" es una canción no lanzada que estaba destinada a aparecer en su tercer álbum de estudio, PORTALS , pero luego fue descartada.

Esta canción trata sobre luchar con los demonios internos y tratar de encontrar formas de hacerles frente. La "bestia sobre mi espalda" en el primer verso puede interpretarse como una metáfora de las luchas personales, mientras que las referencias a la "sangre de dragón" en el estribillo y el post-coro podrían verse como una forma de tratar de combatir o superar estas luchas. La canción también toca temas de aislamiento, miedo y violencia, ya que la protagonista intenta mantener a la "bestia" bajo control y protegerse de sus ataques. En general, la canción parece transmitir una sensación de desesperación y la necesidad de encontrar una salida a esta agitación interna.

lyrics
[Verse 1]
Got the beast on my back and he’s gnawing
In the streets, and attacks every morning
Always so violent, licking his nails
Waits for the silence, choking his tail

[Verse 2]
Tried to keep him in check in my basement
Got a leash on his neck but he breaks it
Shining my dagger, picking the fight
Firing shots off, risking my life

[Pre-Chorus]
He’ll kill you slow
Unless you are his friend, for all he knows
Trick his eyes and pull him close
Teeth are covered red and down he goes

[Chorus]
Chug, chug, dragon's blood, dragon's blood, I’m drowning
Pour all the dragon's blood, dragon's blood, dragon's blood
Chug, chug, dragon's blood, dragon's blood, I’m drowning
Pour all the dragon's blood, dragon's blood, dragon's blood

[Post-Chorus]
(Dragon's blood, dragon's blood
Dragon's blood, dragon's blood
Dragon's blood, dragon's blood)
Dragon's blood)

[Verse 3]
He hides in the back of my pillow
In my mind and he stares through the window
So isolated, guarding my door
Tried to go out but I’m chained to the floor

[Verse 4]
Used to feed him my fears and my troubles
Now he sees me at ease and he trembles
Shining my dagger, I don’t pick fights
Maybe I’ll sleep for once in my life

[Pre-Chorus]
He’ll kill you slow
Unless you are his friend, for all he knows
Trick his eyes and pull him close
Teeth are covered red and down he goes

[Chorus]
Chug, chug, dragon's blood, dragon's blood, I’m drowning
Pour all the dragon's blood, dragon's blood, dragon's blood
Chug, chug, dragon's blood, dragon's blood, I’m drowning
Pour all the dragon's blood, dragon's blood dragon's blood
Chug, chug, dragon's blood, dragon's blood, I’m drowning
Pour all the dragon's blood, dragon's blood, dragon's blood
Chug, chug, dragon's blood, dragon's blood, I’m drowning
Pour all the dragon's blood, dragon's blood dragon's blood
