Bloodline

Astrid S's song "Bloodline" delves into the profound and often mystical connections that transcend familial ties. The lyrics explore the idea that while blood relations are traditionally seen as the strongest bonds, there are other connections that can be just as, if not more, significant. The recurring question, "Is blood really thicker than water?" challenges the age-old adage, suggesting that emotional and spiritual connections can sometimes surpass the bonds of blood.

The imagery in the song is vivid and dreamlike, painting a picture of a relationship that feels almost otherworldly. Lines like "I see clouds, you see faces" and "Like a psychedelic 70s' painting" evoke a sense of shared vision and understanding that is rare and special. The metaphor of being in a "broke-down car like a spaceship" suggests that even in imperfect circumstances, the connection between the two individuals feels extraordinary and transformative.

Astrid S also touches on the idea of destiny and the alignment of stars, implying that some connections are fated or meant to be. The lyrics, "There's bloodlines and love lines that science can prove, but then stars align and sometimes there's someone like you," highlight the magical and inexplicable nature of certain relationships. This song beautifully captures the essence of finding someone who feels like a soulmate, someone who amplifies your existence and makes you question the conventional wisdom about relationships and connections.
