Blood Toil Tears Sweat
Capstan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Anything in life can take your breath away.
Find the one thing that puts air into your lungs.
For now I'm throwing mixed emotions to the wolves.
They can rip tear and shred every fiber every thread.
Nothing is truly lost, just in a different place in time.
It's not about putting yourself together it's about letting pieces fall apart
That shipwreck in your chest will always be an anchor on your heart
Even in the face of the heaviest tides I swear you can make it part.
I may not be the best example but I stand here with a fucked up past
A good laugh and the hopes of moving forward
I'm embracing change with open arms yet clumsy hands and a lack of charm
Makes it fucking hard to hold it all together
Nothing is truly lost, just in a different place in time.
In my head your heart still beats with mine.
It's not about putting yourself together it's about letting pieces fall apart
That shipwreck in your chest will always be an anchor on your heart
Even in the face of the heaviest tides I swear you can make it part.
Everyday is a firefight.
And as I face these battles I have to retain that this hope can remain and still survive
There's more to living than just being alive
Those who spend their lives in glass houses should not cast stones
Give in to being broken
We're made to be fragile designed to be open and fall apart.
Give way to your heavy heart.
It's not about putting yourself together it's about letting pieces fall apart
That shipwreck in your chest will always be an anchor on your heart
Even in the face of the heaviest tides I swear you can make it part.
The song, Blood Toil Tears Sweat by Capstan, is a powerful anthem about finding hope in difficult times. The first verse reminds the listener to find something that gives them life and to let go of negative emotions. The reference to the wolves tearing apart every fiber and thread represents the difficulties in life that can rip one apart, but it is important to keep moving forward.
The chorus is a reminder that nothing is truly lost in life; it is just in a different place in time. The sound of the beating heart also represents a connection with someone who has passed away. Even in the midst of difficult times, there is always hope to make it through.
The second verse encourages the listener to embrace change, even if it is difficult. The reference to a shipwreck in one's chest as an anchor on the heart represents emotional pain that can be overwhelming. Despite this, the singer encourages the listener to keep pushing through the tough times.
The bridge speaks to the fragility of life and encourages the listener to embrace being broken. We are all fragile beings designed to open and fall apart. It is okay to have a heavy heart and to let pieces fall apart. The final chorus brings the song full circle, reinforcing that it is not about putting oneself together but letting pieces fall apart and finding a way to make it through.
