Blue Tattoo

Well... another strange one to add in on a Monday morning. I literally stumbled across this band, Vanilla Ninja. Described as a girl pop-rock band from Estonia there's something about them that I found to be enjoyable from the start.

The "Blue Tattoo" is one of those that quite simply points towards abuse. In this case it would seem to focus more on domestic violence.

This makes me wonder about the relationships we have with ourselves, our hopes and our dreams. Why is it that we feel the need at times to really attack those things that truly love us leaving them somewhat broken in need of healing? The marks left behind will they eventually heal? Or do they simply become a permanent scar of some sort?

Once upon a lifetime
The spirits of the dark
Came to kill the beauty
Of our world

Every soul was spell bound
And prisoned into ice
Just shining through
Sad as a blue tattoo

Tears have turned to ice
As a sacrifice
Broken voices rise
From the age of the ice
To the raging skies
And they exorcise
'Cos on judgement day
We must hide - we must fight - we must pray - hey
It's a blue tattoo

But the monks of mercy
They prayed for every soul
'Til the sword of fire
Took control

In a crash of thunder
The ice broke into two
And shining through
There was the blue tattoo

Monks:
You know
Down low
There's a light - it's a true - blue tattoo
Just go
Down low
Gotta hide now - gotta fight now -
Gotta save your soul and pray
Gotta break the ice away
Gotta find the true blue tattoo

How often do we beat down on the things that we truly love? Leaving them bruised and broken. Thankfully blue tattoo's can fade, and in time things can heal, all it needs is time and care.
