In M'n Bloed [English translation]

More and more

I'm realising

That I bottled up a lot of emotions as a child

And that the same problems

That I wouldn't have with a stranger

Still play out every day, they're definitely not resolved

Things could never once be normal with us

But what even is normal?

Because the older I get

The better I understand

That my parents aren't heroes

But look like me

They just pretend

They mean well, but

What time doesn't change

Even though I'll become an adult one day

Is what's in my blood

Hey dad

You're in my blood

And, perhaps just like you, I never

Think I'm good enough, and then my mother

She never actually says no

Because she wants to keep everyone happy

And follow along with everything

Things could never once be normal with us

But what even is normal?

Because the older I get

The better I understand

That my parents aren't heroes

But look like me

They just pretend

They mean well, but

What time doesn't change

Even though I'll become an adult one day

Is what's in my blood

Because it's in my blood

And then my little sister

I get annoyed too often

Because I know that my broken heart

Looks just like hers, and

If she's getting married soon

Then I might become an uncle

Then I'll know one thing for sure

Her child won't ever just be normal, because

The older I get

The better I understand

That I've become

Who I'm supposed to be

I just pretend, and

I mean so well, but

What time doesn't change

Is what's in my blood
