Drop of Blood
A Journey of Regret: The Divorcees' 'Drop of Blood' Tale
Lyrics
There's a drop of blood for every mile of this dirty trail
Expressing the hardships and challenges faced, with a metaphorical "drop of blood" symbolizing pain or struggle for every mile of the difficult journey.
And I need to tell you all the miserable details
The singer feels a need to share the unpleasant and distressing details of their experiences.
For all the miles I travelled not one fond memory
Reflecting on the lack of positive memories despite the extensive travels.
A sad and sorry tale of loss and cruelty
Describing a narrative filled with sorrow, loss, and harsh treatment.
It was too damn hard a winter to be left out in the cold
Highlighting the challenging nature of a harsh winter and the emotional difficulty of being left alone in the cold.
It's a lonely road to travel when your story's left untold
Emphasizing the loneliness of the journey, especially when one's story remains untold.
And every man from time to time has to search his soul
Suggesting that introspection is a universal experience for every man, requiring an examination of one's soul.
Untangle all the wreckage that begins to take its toll
Encountering the aftermath and consequences of life's challenges, which accumulate and take a toll.
So drop me at the roadside and I'll find myself a bed
Requesting to be left by the roadside, indicating a desire to pause and reflect, possibly on the journey or life choices.
And contemplate the angry words we might have left unsaid
Contemplating unresolved conflicts and words left unspoken during the journey.
I'll wonder if the mark I made had any worth at all
Questioning the significance and impact of the singer's actions and contributions.
If in the end I was the one who had to take the fall
Suspecting personal responsibility for a negative outcome or failure.
Feel I gave a good part of my soul and paid a price
Expressing a sense of sacrifice and loss, having given a significant part of oneself.
Seems like there was nothing gained and plenty sacrificed
Feeling that efforts resulted in little gain and much was sacrificed.
The stories that we told were of lives we never knew
Reflecting on stories shared that were not based on actual experiences, becoming a stranger to one's true self.
Became a stranger to myself and lost hold of the truth
Losing touch with personal truth and authenticity.
I felt as though the time had come to leave it all behind
Deciding to leave behind a past that felt confining and burdensome.
Washed the slate clean of the past in which I stayed confined
Cleansing oneself of past experiences and starting anew.
What started out so honestly became this sorry tale
Expressing disappointment in a journey that began honestly but turned into a regrettable tale.
There's a drop of blood for every mile of this dirty trail
Reiterating the theme of pain and struggle with a drop of blood representing each mile of the challenging trail.
So drop me at the roadside and I'll find myself a bed
Repeating the desire to be left by the roadside for reflection.
And contemplate the angry words we might have left unsaid
Revisiting the contemplation of unresolved conflicts and unspoken words.
I'll wonder if the mark I made had any worth at all
Reiterating the questioning of the singer's impact and worth.
If in the end I was the one who had to take the fall
Repeating the suspicion of personal responsibility for a negative outcome.
So drop me at the roadside and I'll find myself a bed
Repeating the request to be left by the roadside for contemplation.
And contemplate the angry words we might have left unsaid
Reiterating the contemplation of unresolved conflicts and unspoken words.
I'll wonder if the mark I made had any worth at all
Reiterating the questioning of the singer's impact and worth.
If in the end I was the one who had to take the fall
Repeating the suspicion of personal responsibility for a negative outcome.
