Song Meaning of “Blood for Blood” by Lord Of The Lost
This song is about the impossibility of redemption for sinners. The lyrics suggest the singer is being haunted by the shadows of his past and is struggling to gain the redemption he desires. He feels like despite his best efforts, his attempts are unavailing, as ‘blood for blood’ is the only thing that can atone for his sins. He is haunted by the toll that his mistakes have taken on him, as he aches for a way out of this predicament, but no such thing exists. In the end, he must accept that the only way to attain redemption is through a ‘blood for blood’ sacrifice in order to right the wrongs he has committed. This is a powerful reminder of the need for personal accountability, as well as the perils of following a life of sin.
