Bloodstreets
Centvrion Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where evil rules and death is princess
Drunkards sleep there beggars live here
Dogs and rats stale near our children
Oh, no! I'm dead beat
I can't see it anymore
I can't permit it
Drug and surplus crimes and silence
Toxic warderers n'warps of shepherds
Beastly beadles extended racket
Falsehood treasures of fading religion
Oh, no! I'm dead beat
I can't see it anymore
I can't permit it
Keep the faith friends of mine
I can tell you no lies
Will come a dashing future
Where our children can play
Raise your arms friends of mine
Follow me in this fight
Will return the empire
Leave these bloodstreets behind
Flashy halfbreds vile diviners
Unhealthy hair huge disaster
Deadly outlaws putrid anarchy
Infected bitches n'seedy gypsies
The lyrics of "Bloodstreets" by Centvrion depict a desolate and dangerous setting in which the singer seems to be utterly exhausted by the violence, poverty, and depravity that surrounds them. The streets are described as "powdery," suggesting a dusty and decaying environment, and the residents of the town are characterized as evil and even deadly. The singer is both physically and emotionally drained, unable to bear witness to the rampant crime, drug use, and corruption that seem to dominate everyday life in this town.
Despite the bleakness of this situation, there is an underlying message of hope and resilience in the lyrics. The singer urges their friends to "keep the faith" and join them in fighting against the prevailing darkness, with the promise of a "dashing future" in which children can play freely and the empire can be restored. This fight will not be easy, as the singer must face a host of dangerous and unsettling characters, from "beastly beadles" to "infected bitches," but they remain determined to leave these "bloodstreets" behind.
Overall, "Bloodstreets" is a powerful and evocative song that offers a vivid commentary on the struggles of life in a harsh and unforgiving environment, while also celebrating the tenacity and resilience of the human spirit when faced with adversity.
