Deep Blood Red
Mali Music's 'Deep Blood Red' is a passionate love song that uses the vivid image of deep blood red to express a deep, all-consuming desire to be cherished and seen by the beloved. The lyrics speak of overcoming fear of rejection to confess feelings, wanting to shine and be proud in the eyes of the other. While the song's language is romantic and could be interpreted as a human love song, its intensity and spiritual undertones, such as references to destiny and a yearning to be monumental, allow it to be seen as a metaphor for devotion to God. The song focuses on surrender and the desire to be wholly devoted, making it a fitting piece for themes of faith and surrender.
[Verse 1:]
I don't wanna blow things out of proportion
I don't wanna cross the line drawn out in the sand
But to ignore this would be abortion of a feeling that we now both know lives deep within
So in spite of embarrassment or rejection it didn't matter I could not be negligent or ignore what I feel anymore
[Chorus:]
That's why deep blood red is all I see deep blood red is what I wanna be
Oh how I'd shine
Oh how proud I'd be if when you saw me you would see deep blood red
Red
Deep blood red
[Verse 2:]
I guess you can say I was inspired
I guess you can tell my heart was moved
With a yearning paramount desire
To be something monumental to you
So I'm taking this moment to bestow and present my heart to you
To show you the weight of the magnitude of my interest in you
[Chorus:]
That's why deep blood red is all I see deep blood red it is what I wanna be
Oh how I'd shine,
Oh how proud I'd be if when you saw me you would see deep blood red
Red
Deep blood red
[Bridge:]
In other words, there are no other words, above the word, destiny (destiny), me and you (me and you)
You and me (you and me), could it be possibly (possibly), maybe I be your favorite
Just like deep blood red the one you love and you cherish like blood red
[Chorus:]
That's why deep blood red is all I see deep blood red is what I wanna be
Oh how I'd shine
Oh how proud I'd be if when you saw me you would see deep blood red
Red
Deep blood red
Would you see your favorite
