Blood Wedding
The Spanish Amanda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With a hard-on for the day
Today she starts to reconcile
Herself to her mistakes
Silent shadows move across the ceiling
And there'll be blood upon her hands
Before this evening
Discretely, they're forgotten
Those mapped upon her memory
Or charted on her body
But in the dark, the new boy will discover
The signature carved on her heart
By her former lover
She was born in sunshine
I was born in snow
I was fifteen months in the world without her
Fifteen months alone
But God knows, if I can't fight the feeling
There'll be blood upon my hands
Before this evening

She wakes up this morning
Today, she rises to face another day
With a hard-on for the day
With a strong determination to make the most of the day
Today she starts to reconcile
Today is the beginning of her journey towards acceptance and forgiveness
Herself to her mistakes
Accepting and coming to terms with her past errors
Silent shadows move across the ceiling
Quiet reminders of her past haunt her mind
And there'll be blood upon her hands
She will have to face the consequences of her actions
Before this evening
Before the day is over
The nights she gave herself to me
Memories of intimate moments spent together fade away
Discretely, they're forgotten
In secrecy, those moments are left behind
Those mapped upon her memory
Those moments etched in her mind
Or charted on her body
Or marked on her physical self
But in the dark, the new boy will discover
However, a new person will come to uncover
The signature carved on her heart
The lasting imprint on her emotions
By her former lover
Left by someone from her past
She was born in sunshine
She came into the world with light and warmth
I was born in snow
I entered a cold and harsh world
I was fifteen months in the world without her
For fifteen months, I existed without her presence
Fifteen months alone
Living in solitude for that time
But God knows, if I can't fight the feeling
If I can't resist the emotions
There'll be blood upon my hands
I too will have to face the consequences of my actions
Before this evening
By the end of the day
