“Blood On Your Lips”: A danceable dark pop hit with an indie attitude
With “Blood On Your Lips”, Rêverie from the Netherlands delivers a refreshing dark pop track that impresses from the start with its energetic atmosphere and danceable rhythms. The song exudes an unmistakable coolness that is further enhanced by the skilfully used electronic sounds. At the same time, it always remains on the dark side of pop without drifting into the all too familiar indie pop realms.
The catchy chorus has the potential to become firmly anchored in the listener’s ear, and is reminiscent of the best times of the indietronic scene of the early 2000s, with echoes of bands like “Robots In Disguise” and “Electrocute”. The lyrics remain mysterious and ambiguous, playing with themes such as disappointment, passion, sex and escape, which are particularly evident in the lines “My hands, your tits” and “Never felt at home anywhere”.
A minor criticism could be that the song remains somewhat ambivalent lyrically, but at the same time this leaves room for interpretation and further stokes interest. Nevertheless, “Blood On Your Lips” is particularly convincing due to its consistent focus on cool, electronic sounds, which give the track a modern and fresh touch, thus setting it apart from the crowd.

Lyrics of “Rêverie – Blood On Your Lips”
Spit blood
Talk shit
Blood on your lips soft fingertips
My hands
Your tits
Clean skies
No surprise you turned out like this
One room one life
Never gonna die
Die
1 AM falling asleep
Baby are you sure that this ain’t no make believe?
Rain-soaked hair
A billion stares
Lifelong dreams that you just can’t repair
You leave them all stranded for they drag you to hell
A million years can’t make all this shit fair
Nothing stops you from catching a flight
Except your fight or flight
Spit blood
Talk shit
Blood on your lips soft fingertips
My hands
Your tits
Clean skies
No surprise you turned out like this
One room one life
Never gonna die
Die
Rain-soaked hair
A billion stares
Lifelong dreams you can’t repair
Leave them stranded cause they all drag you through hell
Is this really fair?
Never felt at home anywhere
