“Because life’s too short to blush, I keep my blood tucked in.”

Simplified Meaning:
Life is too brief to worry about being embarrassed, so I try not to let that stop me. Think about how quickly time passes and how short our time on Earth is. Instead of hiding feelings or holding back out of fear or shame, it's better to be open and honest. For example, imagine a person who loves to sing but is too shy to perform. If they choose to sing without worrying about what others think, they’ll feel free and happy, even if they make mistakes. The key idea is to not waste time feeling embarrassed—embrace who you are and enjoy life without fear. So, if there's something you want to do or say, go ahead and do it because we don't have forever to wait.
