About This Track

'Dlm' by James Blake is a 2013 dance track from the album 'Overgrown'. The lyrics circle a knowing, intimate address, weighing the cost of what has been gained against the damage of distance, with the plea not to be hurt further. Repetition in the lines about thoughts and a growing apartness gives the song a looped unease. The words also frame conviction and self-awareness, insisting that someone “can do more”, even as the relationship feels strained from within. One moment feels like a confession, the next like a warning shot.

"Dlm" is a track by James Blake, from the album Overgrown, released 4th April 2013. The track is 2:26 long. It's filed under Dance. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 15 articles about James Blake.

Lyrics

Dlm

She knows a good thing now
With our own cost and all can hear the word
In my head and in my thoughts
In my head and in my thoughts

We spend the whole days all
We're feeling more apart
And we know you can do more

Please, don't let me hurt you more
It's in your stare and at your core
Please, don't let me hurt you more
Please, don't let me hurt you more

I know this journey's soon
The color of lights and our lives become as you

Please, don't let me hurt you more
It's in your stare and at your core
Please, don't let me hurt you more
Please, don't let me hurt you more
