Water for Blood
Unraveling the Depths: Contemplating Life's Essence
Lyrics
Water for blood
Water symbolizes purity or cleansing, contrasting with blood, suggesting a desire for purification or redemption.
Falls on the floor
Metaphorically, the act of cleansing (water) results in a spill or loss (falls on the floor).
Fill up my lungs
Expressing a need to breathe deeply, possibly seeking relief or understanding.
And bleed some more
Suggests a continuous struggle or pain that leads to emotional bleeding.
Drink from my eyes
Implies vulnerability and a desire for emotional connection, as tears are often associated with deep emotions.
And let me see
Seeking transparency and understanding in a relationship, asking to be truly seen.
Take my body
Metaphorically giving control over one's physical self to achieve freedom, possibly from emotional burdens.
And set me free
Desiring liberation, whether physical or emotional, by surrendering the body.
And I, I’ll never know
Expressing uncertainty and a lack of understanding about one's own experiences or the passage of time.
Where the time, oh the time truly goes
Reflecting on the elusive nature of time, pondering its mysterious and fleeting quality.
Thoughts fill my head
Comparing thoughts to smoke in a cave suggests complexity and obscurity in the mind.
Like smoke in a cave
Anticipating the inevitability of the end, possibly referring to the end of life or a significant chapter.
Of when the end
Contemplating the nature of mortality and the impact it will have on one's existence.
Will fill my days
Anticipating a future where the end or death consumes the entirety of one's days.
Why is it we fall asleep forever?
Pondering the mystery of eternal sleep and questioning why humans succumb to it.
Stay up all night here together
Contrasting the concept of eternal sleep with the desire to stay awake and connected with a loved one.
And I, I’ll never see
Expressing a sense of blindness or lack of understanding regarding the impact of one's actions or existence.
What the ground, oh the ground makes of me
Reflecting on the consequences of one's existence, particularly on the environment or surroundings.
I wear these skin and bones
Metaphorically wearing the physical and emotional burdens of life, akin to dirty clothes.
Like my mother wears her dirty clothes
Drawing a parallel between personal struggles and the challenges faced by one's mother.
And you will never understand
Expressing the belief that others may not fully comprehend the depth of personal struggles.
What a wasted soul I am
Acknowledging a sense of wasted potential or a life not fully lived.
Ease my worried mind to sleep
Seeking solace and peace for a troubled mind, possibly through sleep or rest.
For I can’t believe
Expressing disbelief in things that cannot be seen, possibly referring to intangible aspects of life.
What I cannot see
Highlighting the challenge of understanding or accepting things that are not visible.
And you will never understand
Reiterating the belief that others may not fully grasp the depth of internal struggles or wasted potential.
What a wasted soul I am
Acknowledging a sense of unfulfilled purpose or potential in life.
