As Close As Blood
Harmony Beyond Battles: A Tale of Reconciliation in 'As Close As Blood'
Lyrics
Time's healed all for us, gentle child
Time has helped to heal the wounds between us, my tender child.
We've both moved on from us
We've both moved forward from our past relationship.
Our lives have reconciled
Our lives have found harmony and resolution.
Through our years and tears and fears
We've experienced years, tears, fears, and difficult times together.
And even our mud
Even through our hardest times ("mud"), our bond remains strong.
We're as close as family now
We're now as close as family to each other.
As close as blood
Our connection is as strong as blood ties.
Though we split our lives apart
Despite separating our lives, there's still an understanding between us.
You still know me
You still have insight into who I am.
And I know your heart's desire
I understand what your heart truly desires, even though it's not restricted.
Even though it's free
Despite freedom, there's mutual understanding about each other's desires.
We had our times old child
We shared moments of youth, my dear child.
We had our fun
We enjoyed ourselves and had moments of joy.
We had our battle too
We also faced conflict or struggles together.
But we both won
Despite our conflicts, both of us emerged victorious.
This is how we won
It highlights the method or way we achieved victory.
This is how we won
Reiterates the idea of how the victory was attained.
We were foes and friends and lost
We were once adversaries, companions, and felt lost.
And going wild
We were unpredictable and rebellious.
We were both out for blood
Both of us sought revenge or were aggressively competitive.
My sweet gentle child
Addressing affectionately, emphasizing tenderness despite past hostility.
But we laid our arms to rest
We decided to stop fighting or conflicting.
We put away our guns
We chose not to engage in hostility or conflict anymore.
We've said our piece
We've expressed our thoughts or opinions clearly.
And we both won
Both of us emerged victorious or achieved satisfaction.
