Bloodlines
Unveiling Shadows: Silent Cities' Emotional Odyssey
Lyrics
This doesn't feel like home
This person doesn't feel a sense of belonging or comfort in their current environment.
Even in the darkest corners
Even in the darkest or most obscure places, the feeling of alienation persists.
Keep cutting through the bone
Metaphorically speaking about feeling disconnected or isolated from one's roots or origins.
I'm further from my bloodlines
Feeling increasingly distant from their familial or ancestral ties.
Take it on the chin
Accepting difficulties or challenges without complaining or showing weakness.
Keep your holes within mine
Keeping one's own struggles or problems concealed and contained.
This water's thicker now
The situation has become more complicated or difficult to navigate.
I'm hiding from my bloodlines
Avoiding or evading connections to one's family or heritage.
Because I didn't realise
Realization that they've unknowingly been projecting their issues onto someone else and expressing regret for it.
No I didn't realise
-That I'm taking it all
-Out on you
-Because I didn't realise
Repeated acknowledgment and regret for placing blame on someone else for personal struggles.
No I didn't realise
-That I'm taking it all
-Out on you
-That I'm taking it all
-Out on you
-One more swing, one more blast from the past,
Expressing a desire for one final attempt or experience before departing or moving on.
before I go I won't sleep anymore
A determination not to rest until they've found a way to manage or control their past experiences or traumas.
Until I've found the mask that controls the past,
Seeking control over memories or events that influence the present, depicted metaphorically as a mask.
that's blinking like an LED, covered in plasticine.
Describing the elusive nature of the sought-after control, obscured or made unclear, akin to an LED covered in plasticine.
You punched the mirror and I blocked your advance,
Reference to a confrontation or conflict involving physical actions.
I always got the windows mixed up with the mirrors,
Confusion or mixing up perceptions, mistaking reflections for reality.
that refract back like a heart attack,
The confusion and sudden realization depicted metaphorically, likened to a sudden heart attack.
I pictured the moon, then it hits and I am sorry.
An apology triggered by a sudden understanding or realization.
Because I didn't realise
Continued recognition and regret for wrongly attributing personal issues onto someone else.
No I didn't realise
-That I'm taking it all
-Out on you
-Because I didn't realise
-No I didn't realise
-That I'm taking it all
-Out on you
-Because I didn't realise
-No I didn't realise
-That I'm taking it all
-Out on you
-Because I didn't realise
-No I didn't realise
-That I'm taking it all
-Out on you
-That I'm taking it all
-Out on you
-I'm taking it all
-Out on you
