| Twenty One Pilots – My Blood Lyrics | 5 years ago |
|
This song seems to be another genius example of masterful lyric play showcasing Tyler's ability to craft deeply layered sophisticated and thought provoking songs. My blood is super catchy, genre-blending, funky, and, edgy. The melody draws listeners in without bias and delivers deeply symbolic visuals with the disguise of pop friendly, mass music, veiled Christian references. The greatest thing about the open sincerity of this song is that whether Tyler approves of this interpretation, or not, listeners will be able to see this as an Anthem for the underdog and having a friend's back, or as Gods promise to his faithful to protect them and never abandon on their hour of need. The parallel to this song is the fact that in each verse the lyrics are a declaration of being there to defend/protect/ fight off oppressors or enemies. The Lions den reference to the book of Daniel and the story of his faith in the Lions den to come out unharmed. The mention of "My Blood" means the blood of salvation -- what can kill the body cannot kill the eternal soul of the believer. The true death is separation from God. Though Christ's blood shed and baptism we are saved and because we are protected by the blood we as believers have no enemy that can or adversary God cannot defeat, so why would we run??? This can also be seen as how we as Christians must stand boldly and trust our faith. We must be firm in God's promises to protect and deliver us, and use this to defend our faith in Christ. |
