If I Fail
To Make It Back Here Alive

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to An Early Ending's song Bloodlines explore the themes of survival, unity, and the consequences of hate within relationships. The singer is contemplating whether they will return from a dangerous situation and is asking for something to hold onto that will last beyond their time. They want to be changed and united with their loved one, and hope that the bond they share will endure. The chorus emphasizes the urgency of the situation and the importance of letting go of shame and lies. The bridge asks whether hate is a lesson that can be unlearned, and ultimately concludes that the ties of blood are not enough to stop our lies. The repetition of "oceans swallow time" emphasizes the fleeting nature of life and the need to seize the moment.

The song draws on a variety of musical influences, including metalcore, post-hardcore, and alternative rock. The use of choir vocals in the chorus adds a sense of grandeur and drama to the piece, while the screamed vocals in the bridge create a sense of intense emotion. The song was included on the band's 2012 album, "Igniter," which received critical acclaim for its mix of heavy music and anthemic choruses.
