Blood
Inherited Shadows: Unveiling the Dark Secrets in John Lewitt's 'Blood'
Lyrics
I guess you're damned
I suppose you are condemned or in a difficult situation.
You can't stop what I started
It's impossible to halt the consequences of what I initiated.
There's that piece of me
There's a part of myself.
That I always kept hidden deep
That I always kept concealed deeply.
Now it's seen the light of day
Now it has come to light in the errors you're attempting to commit.
In the mistakes you're trying to make
I wish you wouldn't do
I desire you wouldn't engage in.
All the things that I learned I shouldn't get into
All the activities that I learned I shouldn't involve myself in.
I wish you wouldn't listen to
I wish you wouldn't pay attention to.
The blood that I passed on to you
The traits or tendencies that I passed on to you through family ties.
In my dreams for you
In my aspirations for you.
I didn't foresees any drugs or booze
I didn't anticipate involvement with drugs or alcohol.
Of all my qualities
Despite my positive qualities.
Why are the risky ones so appealing?
Why are the risky aspects so attractive?
Are these just your tendencies
Are these risky behaviors just natural tendencies or a message you're trying to convey?
Or are you trying to tell me something?
I wish you wouldn't do
I wish you wouldn't participate in.
All the things that I learned I shouldn't get into
All the activities that I learned I shouldn't engage in.
I wish you wouldn't listen to
I wish you wouldn't heed.
The blood that I passed on to you
The inherent tendencies or influences I passed on to you.
I know you want to taste this world
I understand you want to experience this world.
And explore the things you've heard
And explore the things you've heard about.
And while you don't want to hear from me
While you may not want to hear advice from me.
I could explain a few things.
I could offer explanations for a few things.
I wish you wouldn't do
I wish you wouldn't engage in.
All the things that I learned I shouldn't get into
All the activities that I learned I shouldn't be involved in.
I wish you wouldn't listen to
I wish you wouldn't pay attention to.
The blood that I passed on to you
The inherent influences or traits I passed on to you.
