Mild Blood
Broken Back Lyrics

Diving softly into this cotton world
Entering gently into a comfortable or dreamlike state of being

I wonder, If I’m a stranger, and now I know, and now I know
Questioning one's place and identity, and coming to a realization

All this wine that runs in my veins
Intoxicated or under the influence of a substance

I think I like it, I pour a bit more of it
Enjoying the feeling of being intoxicated and wanting more

I feel all changed, I feel all changed…
Feeling altered or different from one's sober self

And this sweet and sour dream sure makes me happy
Finding pleasure in a feeling or situation that may have negative consequences

but can make me sink, look at me now,
Acknowledging the potential negative effects of one's actions or decisions

I’m drunk and drown
Feeling overwhelmed or lost in a situation or emotion

Flying up to this shiny sun,
Pursuing a goal or desire with optimism

You gave me the wing, I thought it was easy to learn
Receiving help or support in pursuing a goal or desire, and underestimating the difficulty

But I’d better land, (Be)cause now they’re burning
Realizing the danger or consequences of one's actions or decisions

She took the gun, a finger on the trigger,
Encountering a dangerous or threatening situation

I stopped and stared, I know I wouldn’t run
Facing a challenge or danger without backing down

This is what happens When you’re blinded by the sun…
Suffering negative consequences from pursuing a goal or desire without considering the risks

A slight tight to make me fall in the night
An obstacle or challenge that causes difficulty or frustration

And even if I wanna fight
Desiring to overcome a challenge or obstacle

The poison is inside of me
Feeling the negative effects of one's own choices and actions

Yeah I bit in it, spit it,
Choosing to engage in behavior despite knowing it may be harmful

and now this bitter taste just reminds me it’s all about a fucking waste
Regretting past actions and feeling as though opportunities have been lost

This warm light should tell me “get out of this flight”
Feeling that others are warning against or advising against one's behavior or plan

Despite you’re right, I’m holding on and still grabbing at it
Ignoring good advice or knowledge and clinging to a harmful decision

Do I wanna fix it ? Forget it ?
Questioning what to do next in order to improve a situation

But what about the footprints you left on the backseat.
Thinking about the impact of one's decisions and actions on others

I don’t know, were to go
Feeling unsure or lost within one's current situation or decision-making process

Anyway my feet are to slow
Feeling as though one's abilities or resources are inadequate for the current challenge

I get stuck but it’s not too late to end,
Experiencing difficulty or challenges, but believing there are still opportunities for change or improvement

This emotional suicide that makes me feel alive
Engaging in destructive or harmful behavior, but finding a certain level of excitement or pleasure in doing so

I blurt it out but now it hurts hey
Speaking honestly or impulsively, but experiencing pain or regret as a result

She must have blurred my perception hey
Feeling as though one's judgment or understanding has been influenced or clouded by another person

I built it and lost my wits
Creating a situation or outcome, but having difficulty dealing with the consequences or challenges that result

(You) Know that at the next signal again I’ll fall
Expecting to make similar mistakes or encounter similar challenges in the future

She took the gun, a finger on the trigger,
Encountering a dangerous or threatening situation

I stopped and stared, I know I wouldn’t run
Facing a challenge or danger without backing down

This is what happens When you’re blinded by the sun…
Suffering negative consequences from pursuing a goal or desire without considering the risks
