Shame on you
Shame on me
I blindly blame you
When truly
You’re my blanket, you’re my skin
You’re everything within
You’re my guardian, I’m your sail
A boat in your harbor
Gone under, capsized and sinking
Blanket me, blanket me, blanket me, blanket me, blanket me…
– “Blanket Me,” Hundred Waters
Here’s another song that’s a go-to on my erotica writing playlist. “Blanket Me” by Hundred Waters is ethereal, haunting, powerful, evocative, all-consuming…all the things that D/s can be when it’s at its most sublime.
There is a heart-breaking vulnerability in her voice as she accuses him of leading her astray, leading her into the darkness, leading her into places she’s forbidden to go… Yet she quickly recognizes that he is her protector and savior, the one who can rescue her from plummeting into the darkness. She begs him for his protection…to be blanketed by his dominance.
This emotional tug-of-war is captivating in its simple intensity and the “blanket me” repetition at the end of the song has a mesmerizing, meditative quality about it. She has found her best and highest purpose when wrapped in his protection, his care, his love.
May we all be blanketed in the ways we deserve.
Have a wonderful week, all!
Powerful post and song. I feel that women have the innate ability to “blanket” others with their nurturing and care. It’s more difficult or more work for men to do it…but no less necessary.

That empathy and care – especially in the context of D/s – can make all the difference. And yes, when called for, the care and nurturing are absolutely necessary.
I hope you liked the song! 🙂 Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
