Blood Harmony Blues
Blood Harmony Blues: A Soul's Struggle for Redemption
Lyrics
By blood the same. To the bone an image of you.
Family ties are strong ("By blood the same"). The speaker resembles someone closely ("To the bone an image of you").
Both pride and shame, the run to be like you.
Conflicting emotions of pride and shame in emulating the person they look up to ("Both pride and shame, the run to be like you").
By blood so close. But far away in thought.
Despite close familial ties, there's a significant emotional distance or difference in mindset ("By blood so close. But far away in thought").
Assured - you chose, but I was made distraught
The speaker feels distressed as the person they admire made choices that caused emotional pain ("Assured - you chose, but I was made distraught").
So they will be coming for me
The speaker anticipates challenges and difficulties, seeking support and prayers for protection ("So they will be coming for me," "They will come knocking for me," "Will you be praying for me," "for the Lord to save my soul," "Lord, save her soul").
They will come knocking for me
-Will you be praying for me
-for the Lord to save my soul
-Lord, save her soul
-You're in harmony, by faith and not by sight
Unity with the person is described through faith rather than physical appearance ("You're in harmony, by faith and not by sight").
May seem aimlessly, but I walk tall into the night
Appearances may suggest a purposeless journey, but the speaker walks confidently into the unknown ("May seem aimlessly, but I walk tall into the night").
This life. The end. And then it all depends
Life is uncertain, and its outcome depends on various factors ("This life. The end. And then it all depends").
The darkest thought; I wont meet you round the bends
Despite uncertainties, the speaker is determined not to encounter the darkest thoughts or hardships that the admired person faced ("The darkest thought; I won't meet you round the bends").
You would come running for me
The speaker believes that the person they look up to will support and pray for them in times of need ("You would come running for me," "And not stop knocking for me," "I know you're praying for me").
And not stop knocking for me
-I know you're praying for me
-Lord, save my soul
A plea for divine intervention and salvation ("Lord, save my soul").
