Bloodline
Kölsch feat. Tomas Høffding Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Surfing through the pools
Something is in my eye
Something is getting loose
Bloodline and family
Mother and all the childs
My mind is on the pies
Her mind in on the flowel
I get a dryness in my mouth
I'm used to things crawling up the wells
But this is something else
My mother's waiting for spring to come
And all the colors to be as one
I'm in the backseat with my feet
My mother's waiting for spring to come
And all the colors to be as one
I'm in the backseat with my feet
Time to fight it
Time to kill it
Time to forgive her
Time to laugh, though
Time to fight it
Time to kill it
Time to forgive her
Time to laugh, though
Time to fight it
Time to kill it
Time to forgive her
(All the colors are exploding in my mind)
Time to laugh, though
(All the colors are exploding in my mind)
Now all the colors are exploding in my mind
All the colors are exploding in my mind
Now all the colors are exploding in my mind
All the colors are exploding in my mind
Now all the colors are exploding in my mind
All the colors are exploding in my mind
Now all the colors are exploding in my mind
All the colors are exploding in my mind
Now all the colors are exploding in my mind
All the colors are exploding in my mind
Now all the colors are exploding in my mind
All the colors are exploding in my mind
The lyrics in Kölsch's song "Bloodline" featuring Tomas Høffding is about the complex relationships within a family, specifically, the tensions between a mother and her child. The song begins with the singer navigating through life, feeling like something is getting loose in his eye while he's in the car's back seat, with his mother driving the vehicle. He then sings about the idea of a bloodline and a family, where he mentions his mother in relation to all the other children. Their minds seem to be preoccupied with different things; the singer is thinking of the pie, while his mother is thinking of flowers.
The song's chorus repeats the line, "Time to fight it, time to kill it, time to forgive her, time to laugh, though," emphasizing the different emotional stages the singer is going through in his relationship with his mother. However, the last part of the chorus has a more positive spin in that the singer realizes that it's time to laugh and let go of any negativity. The singer is also experiencing a sensory explosion, with all the colors exploding in his mind, a metaphor that suggests his internal world is vibrant and intense. This contradicts the opening lines where he talks about something getting loose in his eye, suggesting an internal invasion or eye irritant. Overall, "Bloodline" describes the complexities of familial relationships, navigating through negative feelings like anger and resentment, and the potential for emotional growth through forgiveness and humor.
