Blood on My Hands
Soul's Redemption: Unraveling Echoes of Regret in 'Blood on My Hands'
Lyrics
When people say it's sad
When people express sorrow or sadness
You know it can't be bad
Contrary to appearances, the situation cannot be negative
And on any other day I'd be soul destroyed
Under normal circumstances, such news would deeply affect me emotionally
But now I can't afford to listen to a word they say
Current circumstances prevent me from paying attention to their words
And of all the times we had
Reflecting on past moments
Oh the ultimate late night
A particularly significant late-night experience
Didn't taste right
That experience did not feel right
True words that I should know
There are certain undeniable truths that I should be aware of
Blood on my hands
Acknowledging guilt or responsibility
When you looked around I couldn't be found
In a situation where you were searching for me, I was untraceable
A crime's a crime, I'll have to pay
Accepting the consequences of a wrongdoing
Now I find that I'm thigh deep
Finding myself deeply involved or immersed in a situation
Too young for the worst of my mind
Experiencing the most challenging part of my thoughts at a young age
You whispered behind me
Hearing comments or criticisms directed at me from behind
If I may make so bold
Expressing a bold opinion or suggestion
Call it young and wild
Labeling a situation as youthful and unrestrained
But I ran a mile in a minute and there's no going back
Rapidly escaping a situation, and realizing there's no turning back
True words that I should know
Reiterating essential truths that I should be aware of
Blood on my hands
Acknowledging guilt or responsibility (repeated)
When you looked around I couldn't be found
In a situation where you were searching for me, I was untraceable (repeated)
A crime's a crime, I'll have to pay
Accepting the consequences of a wrongdoing (repeated)
True words I said to myself
Acknowledging the truth to oneself
As the wind chilled my bones
Experiencing a chilling realization or moment alone at home
Home alone, you call that a late night?
Questioning the validity of calling a solitary night at home "late"
When people say you're dead
When others suggest you are finished or defeated
You know you caught their eye
Noticing that you have captured their attention
And on any other day I'd be soul destroyed
Under normal circumstances, such news would deeply affect me emotionally (repeated)
But that's just not the way now
However, the situation is different now
I don't mind telling you
Expressing openness about the reality
Nothing is quite what it seems
Highlighting the deceptive nature of appearances
True words that I should know
Reiterating essential truths that I should be aware of (repeated)
Must have been blood on my hands
Acknowledging guilt or responsibility (repeated)
When you look around I couldn't be found
In a situation where you were searching for me, I was untraceable (repeated)
A crime's a crime but I don't mind
Accepting the consequences of a wrongdoing but expressing a lack of concern
True words that I should know well
Reiterating essential truths that I should be aware of (repeated)
But surely by now I could say to myself
Despite knowing the truth, finding it difficult to admit to oneself
The days are getting longer so I better get stronger fast
Acknowledging the passage of time and the need to strengthen oneself quickly
Surely by now?
Reflecting on the passing of time and the evolving self-awareness
