AIA - Northern Blood [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Verse 1]-
Sometimes I miss how you would race friends through the church hall
Stirred by the scared mysteries, yet still sick of it all
You saw a child smirk in the eyes of a jaded jerk leaning against the wall
Once a closed book you unbound with just one look, deciphering every scrawl
We wanted to get a jump-start before the engine stalled
And were stuck inside the labyrinth of suburban sprawls
Like landlocked sailors listen for the ocean inside half-empty bottles of alcohol
I fell asleep to you breathing through the stethoscope of uncovered long distance phone calls
Young love is trying to run before you know how to crawl
We learned to forgive ourselves in the summer we saw the fall

[Verse 2]-
Neither of us should feel guilty since we’re both to blame
We were a nuclear family playing war games
You said God never changes and I prayed you’d be the same
Waiting by the window for a letter that never came
Awakened to your reality, is it what you dreamed? (What you dreamed?)
Independent mentality with low self-esteem (low self-esteem)
I have an escape plan to flee as far as I can from Spokane with some friends in a minivan
Wide-eyed boys of the wasteland do not have hand in the cynicisms of man
I once knelt on both knees and kissed the state line
The doorstep of your home once was a great shrine
Your eyes are no longer my guiding lights
Holy ground is just dirt above burial sites
When waves of nostalgia come in flash floods
The last you’ll hear from me is the front door thud
I’ll hitchhike in rain and I’ll trudge through mud
My love runs deeper than your northern blood
