I closed my eyes and saw my father's sins
They covered me like a second skin
I peeled them off, and sure I bled a bit
But now I'm free to sink my own damn ship
To me this means he's seen the mistakes his father has made and he's learned from them, but he's still going to make his own mistakes in life.
Let the river in
If blood is thicker than water
Then let the river in
We might drift a ways, but we'll find our way again
Basically let life come at us, bad things may happen but they'll never steer us too far off our path
