In My Veins(feat. Katie Herzig)

Andrew Belle's 'In My Veins' featuring Katie Herzig is a hauntingly beautiful exploration of love's enduring and inescapable presence. The song delves into the complexities of human relationships, highlighting the inevitability of change and the imperfection inherent in everyone. The opening lines, 'Nothin goes as planned. Everything will break. People say goodbye. In their own special way,' set a somber tone, acknowledging the transient nature of life and relationships. Despite this, the song suggests that some connections are so profound that they become an indelible part of us.

The recurring refrain, 'Oh you're in my veins, And I cannot get you out,' serves as a powerful metaphor for a love that is deeply ingrained and impossible to forget. This line captures the essence of a relationship that, despite its challenges and imperfections, remains a fundamental part of the narrator's being. The imagery of tasting someone 'at night inside of my mouth' further emphasizes the intimate and consuming nature of this connection. Even when the other person 'runs away,' the bond remains unbroken, highlighting the enduring impact of love.

The song also touches on themes of change and imperfection. Lines like 'Everything will change. Nothin stays the same. And nobody here's perfect. Oh but everyone's to blame' reflect a mature understanding of the fluidity of life and relationships. Despite the darkness and challenges, there is a glimmer of hope, as seen in the line, 'But you catch a glimpse of sunlight, Shinin, down on your face.' This suggests that even in the darkest times, there is always a possibility for light and renewal. Overall, 'In My Veins' is a poignant reminder of the lasting impact of love and the resilience of the human spirit.
