Blood
Embracing Life's Symphony: Harry Bodley-Scott's Blood
Lyrics
Tonight I'm feeling fine, tonight I'm feeling free
Tonight, the speaker is in a positive and liberated mood.
Tonight my heart is open, the loves come over me
The speaker's heart is open, experiencing a surge of love.
And though our hearts are broken, we're still standing on our feet
Despite heartbreak, the speaker and others stand resilient.
It's just my boys and me lying back beneath the stars
The speaker, along with close friends, lies under the stars.
They're shining gracefully, their shining light upon our scars
The stars symbolize grace, shining light on their emotional scars.
And though we're older now, in our hearts we're always young
Though older, the speaker feels eternally youthful at heart.
So let's get up and leave, let's get up and leave
A call to action to leave and explore the world.
We'll travel this world eventually
The journey of exploring the world is a future plan.
Because we've known it our whole lives
Referring to a lifelong awareness of the call to explore.
This is our time
Emphasizing the present moment as the speaker's time.
Yeah some people got their eyes wide open, but they can only look away
Some people avoid acknowledging painful realities.
Some people got everything going, and all they ever feel is pain
Even those with seemingly perfect lives may feel constant pain.
I speak to all of you, I speak to all of you
A direct address to the audience, calling attention.
Those mirrors wont show you truth, those mirrors won't show you shit
Mirrors are unreliable; they don't reflect the truth.
Some people begging god for a reason, spend their lives feeling betrayed
Some people feel betrayed by life and seek reasons from God.
Some people only free for a weekend, rest of their lives they spend in Chains
Temporary freedom for some, followed by enduring hardships.
But it won't always be, let's just get up and leave
A hopeful assertion that tough times will not last forever.
Go live down by the sea, oh honey come lie with me
Desire to live by the sea with a loved one.
Yeah honey I know love hurts, but it's the greatest thing I've found
Acknowledging the pain of love but valuing it greatly.
Oh honey don't say those words, yeah I was lost I see clearly now
Reflecting on past struggles and gaining clarity.
Yeah this blood comes first, before my pain and all my hurts
The importance of familial or close bonds over personal pain.
Everything I've ever had in this world
Emphasizing the value of everything the speaker possesses.
Everything I've ever had in this world
Repetition for emphasis on possessions and relationships.
Let's get up and leave, let's get up and leave
Reiteration of the desire to leave and explore.
We'll travel this world eventually
Reaffirming the future plan to travel the world.
Let's get up and leave, let's get up and leave
Repetition of the call to leave and explore.
We'll travel this world eventually
Reaffirmation of the intention to travel globally.
Because we've known it our whole lives
Reiteration of a lifelong awareness of the call to explore.
This is our time
Reemphasizing the present moment as the speaker's time.
Baby this blood comes first
Underscoring the priority of close relationships and family.
Baby this blood comes first
Repeating the significance of familial bonds.
For 80 years your heartbeats strong for 80 years on and on it goes
Reflecting on the strength of the heart over 80 years.
Until you fall into your loved ones arms, and they hold you close
Imagery of falling into the arms of loved ones for comfort.
Oh these days are slipping by my dear, there's no use living in the past
Advising against dwelling on the past as days pass.
Yeah you don't want no regrets when you finally breathe your last
Highlighting the importance of living without regrets.
Yeah you don't want no regrets when you finally breathe your last
Reiterating the emphasis on a regret-free life.
