Cette chanson évoque un voyage personnel marqué par l'identité, la fierté et les luttes d'un homme. Il décrit ses racines au bord de la rivière Lagan, son parcours à Dublin dans les années 60, et les épreuves traversées, notamment sur Skid Row. Les références à la "sang des émeraudes" symbolisent un lien profond avec son héritage irlandais, évoquant à la fois la douleur et la force qui en découle. Au fil des vers, on ressent une lutte constante entre l'espoir et le désespoir, une prise de conscience que la vie est pleine d'incertitudes, où certains triomphent alors que d'autres ne s'en sortent pas. C’est une réflexion sur la résilience face aux tempêtes de la vie, ancrée dans une connexion forte avec ses origines.
