liMOusIne (feat. AURORA)

Bring Me The Horizon's song 'liMOusIne (feat. AURORA)' delves into the tumultuous and often destructive nature of love and self-worth. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that drags the narrator down, likening the emotional descent to being pulled into a basement. This metaphor suggests a deep, dark place where one feels trapped and low. The repeated plea for the other person to have written their songs for the narrator indicates a desperate need for validation and significance in the eyes of their partner.

The imagery of 'blue angels tryna sacrifice the shame' and 'cut my teeth on a diamond till it's rough' speaks to the intense emotional pain and the lengths the narrator goes to endure it. The 'blue angels' could symbolize a sense of purity or hope that is being sacrificed, while the diamond metaphor suggests that even something beautiful and valuable can become rough and painful. The recurring theme of feeling 'never good enough' and the 'bellyache' crawling in the guts again highlight the ongoing internal struggle and self-doubt.

The chorus, with its lines 'drag me down some more' and 'get me low like a basement,' reinforces the idea of being willingly pulled into this dark emotional state. The mention of being 'belted up in the limousine' adds a layer of irony, as a limousine typically symbolizes luxury and status, yet here it represents being trapped in a cycle of despair. The song's climax, with the repeated question 'does it make you sick?' challenges the listener to confront the discomfort and toxicity of such a relationship. Ultimately, 'liMOusIne' is a raw and unflinching exploration of the darker sides of love, self-worth, and emotional pain.
