Blood
Gangrel - The Brood Lyrics

People come & go
Individuals enter and exit our lives constantly

Broken hearted
Often as a result of these entrances and exits, we are left emotionally damaged

O.D. on poison
Some individuals fall upon the wrong path, becoming consumed by drugs

Take a dry dive
These individuals hit rock bottom in their personal lives

Get loaded on smack
Drug use can become a habitual, toxic part of one's life

& locked up in the john
This addiction can lead to incarceration in prisons

For the rest of their life
The effects of addiction can last indefinitely

Businessman gonna keep on pushin'
The capitalist mindset prioritizes financial gain above all else

For good ol' green back dollar bill
Money drives the actions of businesses and individuals alike

Mama's doin' the black cat walk
People may resort to unsavory actions to get by

& daddy's poppin himself
Even the most stable individuals can succumb to drug use

Right over the hill
Their addiction may end up being the catalyst to the end of their life

Too much grass & why're prone to gas
Drug use can often be dangerous or unpredictable

See you on the corner of needle avenua
Drug use and addiction can lead individuals to dangerous, seedy locations

You better take a good look
Before embarking down this path, individuals should carefully consider the consequences

Down this road
The path of drug addiction is not an easy one

See if it's bright enough for you
Is this the path that will bring you happiness and fulfillment?

Bad Blood
The negative effects and consequences of drug use

you can pretend everythin's cool
Sometimes we try to mask our pain with a facade of normality

Even force some winky kinda smile
Hiding our pain and struggles becomes second nature

Don't wanna see the tears in why'are eyes
We hide our struggles even from ourselves

Since why're gonna find out
Eventually, we will have to confront our inner demons

I'll be gone for a while
We can choose to face our problems head on, but it may not be easy

Competition is the name of the game
Capitalism and society prioritize competition over cooperation

Gotta clean out my system
One must rid themselves of negativity and toxicity to move forward

Do the milkcow cure
Sometimes, the best course of action is rest and relaxation

Hide out in the jungle
Taking time away from the bustle of society can provide a fresh perspective

Gotta be pure
Clean living and healthy habits can lead to a better quality of life

Peter is a poet
A reference to an artistic soul who may be struggling to succeed financially

Shootin' jivetalk all over the sidewalk
Artists may express themselves in unconventional or misunderstood ways

Ain't no big money for Pete
Financial success is not the only measure of artistic prowess

At the corner of the street
The poetic soul is amongst us, though we may not always recognize them

Peter is a poet up to his neck in the shit
Life can be tough for those with unconventional or non-traditional lifestyles

It ain't no use to strike if you can't hit
Sometimes it's better to bide your time and wait until you're better prepared to take action

Gonna puke cause I wanna be pure
Striving for purity and cleanliness can be difficult, but worth it in the long run

Blood on the tracks
The consequences of one's actions are unavoidable

Grinnin' straight faced
We may smile and pretend everything is okay, even amidst tough times

Ssssteps you in the back
Sometimes even those we trust may betray us

Don't fear the devil
We should not let fear control our lives

Ain't gonna beg for a place in heaven
We must live our lives on our own terms

Messin' with the best in me
Challenging experiences can bring out the best in us

Squeezin' the soul right out of me
Tough times can be emotionally and mentally exhausting
