Blame - Bastille

Album: Wild World
genre: Pop

You go sleep with the fishes
There’s no room for you here
There’s no room for you here
Wrap your teeth around the pavement
Cause your body’s a message
Send my regards to hell

Fall upon your knees, sing:
“This is my body and soul here”
Crawl and beg and plead, sing:
“You’ve got the power to control”
Don’t pin it all on me
Don’t pin it all on me!

You’ve been granted three wishes
Say goodbye to your mother, your father, your son
I can hear your pulse racing from here
Sitting next to this gun beats your heart in your mouth

Fall upon your knees, sing:
“This is my body and soul here”
Crawl and beg and plead, sing:
“You’ve got the power to control”
Don’t pin it all on me
Don’t pin it all on me!

Blame, blame, blame (I got you, I got you)
Blame, blame, blame (I got you, I got you)
Blame, blame, blame (I got you, I got you)
Blame, blame, blame (I got you, I got you)

Fall upon your knees, sing:
“This is my body and soul here”
Crawl and beg and plead, sing:
“You’ve got the power to control here
This is my body and this is my soul!”
Fall upon your knees, sing:
“This is my body and soul
Don’t pin it all on me
Don’t pin it all on me!

Don’t pin it all on me
Don’t pin it all on me

Dan Smith stated to Radio.com: "'Blame' is like a super simple snapshot of two gang members, one of whom is pissing the other one off, and it’s like that moment before pulling the trigger, and it’s the snapshot of that, and it was using imagery from like 'The Godfather' and from' American History X' to just create this brooding, mean snapshot into these two people’s really extreme emotions in this little fictional narrative. So yeah, it totally leans on the familiar within those situations to try and take you as a listener to that place immediately. I think as well just the feel of the song, it’s got that mean, dramatic lean to it."
