This Blood Is Our Own Lyrics

You chased the storm
And then I followed
The sun was burning like it'd never come up tomorrow (tomorrow)

And the dirt on your face
Was the ashes
Though I could never see through those long eyelashes

Waiting to catch that lightening
For now we'll wait and see what grows
All we've reaped and all that we've sown
This blood is our own

Raise your head
You've gotta get better
They said you were brave, but
They never said you were clever

Waiting to catch that lightening
For now we'll wait and see what grows
All we've reaped is all that we've known
And now we're buried together

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

This is a beautiful song :) I'm not sure I totally know what the meaning is, but I am going to take a guess...

I think that it might have to do with a couple growing older together ["the dirt on your face was the ashes"- like maybe that's a way of saying wrinkles from working so hard, from smiling/laughing in life, from just living etc], trying to live life to it's fullest by chasing the storm [All we've reaped and all that we've sown, this blood is our own]. And then maybe one of them is sick and the other is encouraging the other to get healthy again ["raise your head, you've got to get better"].

So I don't know if this is anywhere close to the actual meaning, I just thought I'd take a shot at it :)

Now that's deep. I didn't even even see it that way until now. You're right on point.
