Blood into Wine
Turning Struggles into Elixir: Soul Asylum's Poetic Journey
Lyrics
Nothing happened, it's just two people passing through
Nothing significant occurred; it's just two individuals passing by each other.
Hearing voices in my head, hope they never lie to you
Hearing inner thoughts, expressing a desire for honesty in communication.
Why's something always gotta be up with you
Questioning why there always seems to be an issue or tension.
Whatever I do is never enough for someone like you
Feeling that personal efforts are insufficient for someone's expectations.
Passing through you all the time
A sense of constant interaction or involvement with the other person.
Turning blood into wine
Metaphorically transforming challenges or conflicts into something positive, like turning "blood into wine."
Turning blood into wine
-Who'll forgive me, who's to say if it's right or wrong
Pondering who will offer forgiveness and questioning the morality of actions.
And you won't see me in a light that shines on me
Anticipating not being seen positively or in a flattering light.
And how come something's always gotta be up with you
Expressing frustration that there's frequently an issue or problem.
Back on my feet but the night's getting long, do you think about me too
Recovering from a setback but experiencing a lingering night, wondering if the other person thinks about them.
Turning blood into wine
Repeating the metaphor of transforming challenges into something positive.
It's passing through you all the time
-Turning blood into wine
-Three more days and you'll be hanging on the line
Counting down the days until a decisive moment or event.
And if they ask you how I'm doing
Responding to inquiries about well-being, suggesting a desire to convey positivity.
Just tell 'em that I'm fine
-Staying out all the time
Choosing to stay out late consistently, possibly as a coping mechanism or form of escapism.
Is turning blood into wine
Reiterating the metaphor of turning challenges into something positive, even through prolonged struggles.
Turning blood into wine
-Blood into wine
Emphasizing the transformative process, symbolized by turning "blood into wine."
