Le Loup Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
vibrations in the air, in the air I breathe,
and I can feel them weaving mysteries within my bones,
to make their memories, distant memories like my own.
I know my father, I know my mother,
I know granfather, I know grandmother.
I know granfather, I know grandmother,
But the blood that flows in this body,
and the blood that flows through these vains,
the blood that flows through this body
is everyone's and everything's,
everyone's and everythng's.
But the blood that flows in this body,
and the blood that flows through these vains,
the blood that flows through this body
is everyone's and everything's,
everyone's and everything's,
is everyone's and everything's,
everyone's and everything's

I can feel my history bubbling through me,
I sense the experiences and traditions of my ancestors coursing through my being,
vibrations in the air, in the air I breathe,
I feel the resonance of their existence all around me and within every breath I take,
and I can feel them weaving mysteries within my bones,
Their legacy has become intertwined with my very essence, crafting an enigmatic yet familiar aura within me,
to make their memories, distant memories like my own.
I have come to embrace their stories as my own, even though they may have occurred long before my time,
I know my father, I know my mother,
I am familiar with the people who bore and raised me,
I know granfather, I know grandmother.
I have knowledge and memories of my grandparents,
I know granfather, I know grandmother,
I am acquainted with both sets of my grandparents,
I know my sister, I know my brother.
I am close with my siblings,
But the blood that flows in this body,
The fluids that circulate in my veins,
and the blood that flows through these vains,
The essential liquids that move within my being,
the blood that flows through this body
My circulatory system,
is everyone's and everything's,
Is not exclusive to my immediate family, but also a part of the greater world around me,
is everyone's and everythng's.
Belongs to all living things and their predecessors,
But the blood that flows in this body,
Despite my familial connections,
and the blood that flows through these vains,
Despite my biological makeup,
the blood that flows through this body
I cannot claim its ownership as it is a manifestation of a larger essence,
is everyone's and everything's,
A reminder of my connectivity to others and the world,
is everyone's and everything's,
A call to celebrate the deep and complex interdependence of all life forms,
