Blood Red Thorn
Blood Red Thorn: Embracing Devotion, Chasing Ghostly Love
Lyrics
On my own
Feeling alone and independent
I don't need no one
Expressing self-sufficiency, not reliant on others
Blood red thorn
Symbolizing pain or danger with "Blood red thorn"
Velvet crimson palms
Describing hands with deep red imagery and soft texture
You play so sly
Referring to deceptive behavior
But you held on for too long
Critiquing someone for holding on excessively
Now your heart is ghostly white
Describing emotional emptiness or numbness
In chance devotion
Mentioning devotion left to chance
Frozen in time
Indicating a state of suspended emotions
Oh my love
Expressing affection
Someday you'll find your home
Believing in finding a place of belonging
Life on the run's
Describing the toll of a nomadic lifestyle
Enough to wear one down
Highlighting the weariness of constant movement
You fly so high
Portraying someone soaring high in an aircraft
In a steel bird burning the sky
Using a metaphor for a plane in flames
Now your eyes work overtime
Indicating strained or overworked eyes
Arranging oceans and watching them dry
Observing the futile effort of controlling vast elements
An ancient tongue
Referring to an ancient language or wisdom
The alchemist was wrong
Suggesting the fallibility of alchemy
Philosopher's stone
Symbolizing the pursuit of immortality
Made you live too long
Conveying the downside of living too long
Abusing fire
Describing destructive behavior with fire
A self inflicting desire
Highlighting a harmful, self-inflicted desire
A ritual performe an obligation
Referring to a ritual with a sense of obligation
A sinister cyfer
Describing a mysterious and ominous symbol
