Southern Blood
Journey of Redemption: Unveiling the Soulful Odyssey in 'Southern Blood'
Lyrics
The city of angels ain't got nothing for me
The city of angels does not offer anything meaningful to me.
and the devil's been watching me closely
I feel a sense of constant scrutiny from negative influences or forces.
the desert is treatin' me fine now I guess
The desert is treating me well now, but I still have a considerable journey ahead.
but I still got a long way to go
Despite current contentment, there is a long road ahead of me.
Was seen as a rich man, but I did fail to see
Despite being perceived as wealthy, I failed to recognize that appearances can be deceiving.
that all that glitters sure ain't gold
All that glitters (appears attractive) is not necessarily valuable or genuine.
it took me a long time to realize my faith
It took me a significant amount of time to understand my faith and beliefs.
my roots are deep and my longing strong
My roots are deeply embedded, and my desire is strong.
The Mississippi Delta gave birth to my soul
My soul originated in the Mississippi Delta, shaping my identity.
and southern blood runs through my veins
I have a strong connection to the South; southern blood flows in my veins.
I'm going back to find my peace once and for all
I am returning to find lasting peace and resolution.
and to rest 'neath the rivers mighty roar
I seek to rest beneath the powerful sound of the river.
oh sweet lord
An expression of reverence or surprise, invoking a spiritual presence.
still can still sing out from the bottom of my heart
I can still express myself sincerely from the depths of my heart.
been on the ground
I have experienced challenges or setbacks.
been on my knees
I have faced difficulties and hardships, humbling experiences.
I've tried to pray
I have attempted to communicate with a higher power through prayer.
and all my dreams
Despite physical distance, my dreams persist.
they linger on even though we're far apart
The impact of dreams lingers despite being far apart from their realization.
how sweet the sound
Expressing appreciation for a beautiful or comforting sound.
that will redeem
A hopeful and redemptive sound that brings salvation.
my sinful way
Seeking redemption for past transgressions or mistakes.
an my soul's been astray far to long
My soul has been lost or disconnected for an extended period.
with no goal and with no song
Feeling directionless and without a purpose or inspiration for a long time.
