Like blood you are to me
Like me, you know me
Like breath you flow through me
As time flies by
[Chorus]
I ask you to stay with me
Until the roads before me run out
Until the clouds above me become empty for me
I ask you to stay close to me
To the tracks in front of me
And the clouds above me empty over me
[Verse]
Like blood within me you are
Your greeting still echoes in me
Oceans over until I find you
Volcanoes burn here inside me
[Chorus]
I ask you to stay with me
Until the roads before me run out
Until the clouds above me become empty for me
I ask you to stay close to me
To the tracks in front of me
And the clouds above me empty over me
[Verse]
In rain you are around me
In tears you wipe before me
Rivers you rush through me
Papers are too little for me
[Chorus]
I ask you to stay with me
Until the roads before me run out
Until the clouds above me become empty for me
I ask you to stay close to me
To the tracks in front of me
And the clouds above me empty over me
Until the roads in me stop
In the clouds that fill me in me

"The song 'Soos Bloed' by Marta Gómez portrays a deep connection between two individuals, where one feels intertwined with the other's essence despite physical distance. The lyrics use metaphors like blood, wind, rain, and fire to express the intensity of emotions and the impact of separation on one's existence."
