Cover art for Five Years lyrics by Misery Signals

blood is forever? i'm thinking it's about a family member, or a really close friend.

and he says "I can fool myself all that i want" because no matter how much they said that blood & love is forever, he still got fucked over by the friend.

"It took me two years to find that i wasted five years of me life" maybe they were friends for around 5 years, it took him 2 to realize that the guy was a dick and never really was a true friend.

might not be correct but it makes sense to me.
