And I can just picture him and Ryan going through something similar.. if you think about it Sampha should’ve blown up a million times more than he has... And he didn’t drop another album after this till just a few months ago. Like he didn’t want to accept what they were offering imo

    EDIT: Excerpt from Dec 2016 interview by Complex: "Blood on Me,” a single from Process, is an account of a vivid chase, a dream where you need to run but your legs are useless. Sampha punctuates each line of the song with stuttered gasps, as if he can’t catch his breath, no matter how hard he tries:"

    • @simbelmyna
      @simbelmyna 8 лет назад +21

      In the beginning, about 4 seconds into the song if you listen carefully you can hear footsteps of a runner. This, I think, was probably a motive for the part where Sampha is running on track and adds up to the fear he's feeling. After that he wakes up. I'd say time is pretty relative in the song. One moment he is running away, the other he is awake in the different time dimension. Maybe Sampha is afraid of passage of time?

    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're near 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 is 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
