Blood and Bone
Emotional Turmoil: Blood, Bone, and the Weight Within
Lyrics
My body's heavy
Expressing a sense of physical heaviness and fatigue.
My legs can't hold me anymore
Feeling unable to stand or support oneself.
I'm sick of trying to be strong when I am weak
Frustration with the effort to appear strong despite inner weakness.
I've got one foot out the door
Contemplating leaving or escaping from a difficult situation.
Like blood, the ink flows
Comparing the flow of ink to blood, suggesting a deep and involuntary expression.
In a language I don't know
Using an unknown language to convey inner thoughts or emotions.
It's something my mind needs
Highlighting the necessity of this expression for mental well-being.
There's a thief in the night
Metaphorical reference to a potential threat or disturbance.
So bolt up your doors tight
Advising to be cautious and protective due to external influences.
'Cause everything needs to feed
Emphasizing the universal need for sustenance or nourishment.
The smoke is filling up the room
Describing a situation where something negative is intensifying.
And I am not leaving soon
Expressing a reluctance to leave a problematic environment.
My limbs are lead, I'm seeing red
Feeling weighed down and emotionally charged.
And I don't want to start again
Expressing a desire to avoid restarting or going through a difficult experience again.
My insides are cold
Portraying a sense of internal coldness and hardness.
Made of blood and bone
Describing the composition of the speaker's inner self as blood and bone.
I don't want to feel this again
Rejecting the desire to experience certain emotions again.
When will I stop pining over things out of reach
Questioning when the yearning for unattainable things will cease.
Things that burn my skin
Referring to things that cause emotional pain and discomfort.
There's fire in your lungs
Highlighting a metaphorical fire within someone's being.
And when it's all done
Describing a process that leads to a visible aftermath.
Smoke comes out your mouth
Imagery of smoke escaping, perhaps representing hidden emotions.
Your fire's so small
Characterizing someone's internal fire as small and personal.
Guarded from everyone
Describing the protective nature of guarding one's inner self.
But easy to snuff out
Warning that despite protection, the inner fire is vulnerable.
The smoke is filling up the room
Repetition of the scenario where negativity intensifies in the environment.
And I am not leaving soon
Reiterating the reluctance to leave a challenging situation.
My limbs are lead, I'm seeing red
Reemphasizing the burdened and emotionally charged state of being.
And I don't want to start again
Expressing a strong aversion to starting anew in a challenging context.
