Blue Bloods
Blue Bloods: A Poetic Journey of Love, Loss, and Self-Discovery
Lyrics
Who am I to tell the truth
Questioning one's authority or right to speak honestly or truthfully.
Cast alone demanding proof
Being isolated, seeking evidence or validation without support.
Of the things we never say
Refers to unspoken things, left unsaid.
Better still. Left that way
Suggests leaving things unsaid might be better for the present.
For today
Emphasizing the importance of leaving certain matters unspoken for now.
And where screaming comfort lies
Comfort found in distress or chaos.
The head it rests upon her thighs
Intimacy depicted, finding solace in a close relationship.
With cataclysmic sober sights
Describing a serious, stark reality with a clear mind.
Of empty hands and morning lights
Feeling empty-handed and facing the dawn.
While I feel something real
Experiencing genuine emotions or sensations.
While I feel something real
Reiteration of feeling something authentic.
I open up my wrists and feel
Metaphorically expressing vulnerability and sensitivity.
And I feel something that lasts
Feeling something enduring and profound.
Tonight and forever
Emphasizing the lasting nature of the emotions or sensations.
Lasts tonight and forever
-Lasts tonight and forever
-Lasts tonight and forever
-With you I bleed in blue blood
Symbolic reference to feeling deep emotions (like royalty, 'blue blood').
In blue blood
Reiteration of feeling deep and intense emotions.
You live a long and happy life without me
Acceptance of separation and wishing the other person happiness.
And with disinterested eyes
Describes indifference and lack of concern in their gaze.
They take their place and wait in line
People conforming to societal norms despite dislike.
For the things that they despise
Doing things they hate without voicing it.
And never speak and never mind
Continuing to ignore and overlook certain issues.
While I feel something real
Personal experience of genuine emotions or sensations.
While I feel something real
Reiteration of feeling something genuine.
I close up my fists and feel
Metaphorically closing off emotionally.
Feel something that
Emphasizing the enduring nature of emotions or sensations.
lasts tonight and forever
-lasts tonight and forever
-lasts tonight and forever
-lasts tonight and forever
Reiteration of the lasting impact of emotions.
With you I bleed in blue blood
Feeling deep emotions together symbolically as 'blue blood.'
In blue blood
Reiteration of feeling intense and deep emotions.
So live a long and happy life without me
Encouragement for the other person's happiness without the speaker.
So live a long and happy life without me
Reiteration of the previous line's sentiment.
And Ill live a long and happy life without you
Expressing a willingness to move on separately.
Without you
Emphasis on individual independence and growth.
And those blue bloods
Reference to individuals who feel deep emotions like 'blue blood.'
Those blue bloods
Reiteration of the reference to those feeling intense emotions.
Those blue bloods
Reiteration of the previous line's sentiment.
