Originally, the band featured former Indecision guitarists Justin Brannan and Rachel Rosen, as well as on-again off-again Indecision vocalist Tom Sheehan. On their debut full-length for Trustkill Records, Nothing In Vain, Brannan played guitar and Rosen bass, Sheehan did vocals and the band featured a constant rotation of drummers, as no drummer has stayed with Most Precious Blood for too long.
In 2003, after Sheehan departed the band, while initially finding themselves without a vocalist, the band soon teamed up with former One King Down vocalist Rob Fusco, added Matt Miller on bass and moved Rosen to second guitar for their second album Our Lady of Annihilation, also on Trustkill Records.
One of the more striking features of the band is that all members have always had strong vegan and pro-animal rights beliefs (Our Lady of Annihilation came with a small flyer for the animal rights organization PETA, for example).
Closure
Most Precious Blood Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A half-man, blinded and alone.
Torn in two from the center line.
Jagged wounds leave jagged scars over time.
This is how I'm being left to die.
I'm nothing again.
I'm taking you with me next time.
I'm nothing again.
What have you done?
What have we done?
I'm never coming back.
The lyrics to Most Precious Blood's song Closure depict a person who has been through a traumatic event or a difficult period in their life that has left them feeling lost and alone. The line "Through this I've been forced to find myself again" suggests that the experience has been a turning point for the singer, who is now searching for a way to rediscover their sense of self. However, the second line "A half-man, blinded and alone" hints that this process is not going to be easy, and that the person is feeling weakened and vulnerable.
The idea of being "Torn in two from the center line" suggests that there was some sort of division or conflict that occurred, which has now caused a deep wound that may take a long time to heal. The phrase "Jagged wounds leave jagged scars over time" emphasizes that the pain will not simply go away overnight, but may continue to affect the singer for years to come.
The final lines of the song, "I'm never coming back. What have you done? What have we done? I'm never coming back" suggest that the singer is deeply upset by what has happened, and is now ready to move on and leave the situation behind. There is a sense of regret and blame, as the singer questions what they and the other person(s) involved could have done differently to prevent the situation from reaching this point.
