Bloodless
Embracing Life's Silence: Iain Delavan's Bloodless Journey
Lyrics
Black
Referring to the color black, possibly denoting darkness or something hidden
Black eyes closed
Black eyes shut, potentially indicating a lack of perception or insight
Dark mind
A mind in darkness or troubled thoughts
Mind silent
A silent or calm state of the mind
Grains of dirt
Small particles of soil, perhaps symbolizing insignificance or mundane elements
Empty heart, no longer in pain
A heart devoid of emotions and free from pain
Empty heart, no longer in pain
Repeated line, emphasizing the absence of pain within the heart
There I am
Self-identification, acknowledging personal existence
A bloodless win
A victory or success achieved without bloodshed or violence
A bloodless man, and the knife of time
Describing oneself as emotionless or detached ("bloodless") and impacted by time's passing
All I had to do was wait
Implying patience as a necessary action
I waited and waited patiently
Continued patience, waiting calmly
I killed God, in return
Metaphorically claiming responsibility for overcoming or challenging religious beliefs or systems
I killed God, in return
Reiterated responsibility for the act of challenging or defying God
The light fades away
Symbolizing the diminishing of brightness or hope
The leaves fall down
Depicting the falling of leaves, possibly signifying the end of a cycle or season
Leaves of gray
Leaves in a color associated with age or lifelessness
No more hurt
A state of no more emotional pain
Anger is quelled
Suppression or calming of anger or negative emotions
Death gives all
Death as an entity that bestows everything
Death gives all
Repetition to emphasize death as a giver of all
Death gives all
Continued emphasis on death as a provider
Love me, love me again
A plea for affection or love to be reciprocated
Love me again
Repeated plea for love to be returned
Now he's gone
Reference to someone's departure
I'm whole again
Feeling complete again after someone's departure
Now I'm alive
Expressing a revived or rejuvenated state after a departure
Please
A request or plea
Forever tainted
Permanently affected or marked by something
Music of life
Comparing life to music, implying its fluctuating and harmonious nature
