Bleeding Out
Bleeding Out: Navigating the Abyss of Regret and Redemption
Lyrics
When all the wrong words went in the right ear
Feeling misunderstood or saying the wrong things in a relationship.
I turned the wrong way into this nightmare
Entered a challenging situation unintentionally, experiencing a nightmarish scenario.
And I opened a door to find the lost years in me
Discovering lost or forgotten aspects of oneself by opening up emotionally.
I couldn’t see the light without some voodoo
Struggling to find clarity or positivity without supernatural intervention ("voodoo").
And I can’t seem to make a move without you
Dependency on someone for making decisions or taking action.
Is this a breakdown or a breakthrough for me?
Questioning whether a difficult situation is a breakdown or a necessary breakthrough.
IF I BARE MY SOUL WILL THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD JUST FALL AWAY
Contemplating the idea that sharing one's true self might alleviate worldly burdens.
I’M BLEEDING OUT
Expressing emotional pain or vulnerability ("bleeding out").
IF I CHANGE MY MIND WILL YOU STILL BE MINE OR TURN AWAY
Concern about the impact of changing one's mind on a relationship.
I’M BLEEDING OUT
Reiterating the emotional pain and vulnerability expressed in line 10.
I heard an old love song on the radio
Reflecting on a past love while listening to a nostalgic song.
And it made me realise everything I don’t know
Realization of gaps in knowledge or understanding.
And now my little white lie is a full blown catastrophe
A small untruth has escalated into a significant problem.
IF I BARE MY SOUL WILL THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD JUST FALL AWAY
Repeating the contemplation of sharing one's true self to relieve burdens.
I’M BLEEDING OUT
Reiteration of emotional pain and vulnerability ("bleeding out").
IF I CHANGE MY MIND WILL YOU STILL BE MINE OR TURN AWAY
Repeating concern about the impact of changing one's mind on a relationship.
I’M BLEEDING OUT
Reiterating the emotional pain and vulnerability expressed in line 19.
I’D LET IT GO AND SELL MY SOUL BUT IT AIN’T WORTH THE BONES IT’S LIVING IN
Weighing the consequences of letting go of something valuable but problematic.
I see all my regrets spread across the carpet
Visualizing regrets and mistakes laid out in front, possibly after a confrontation.
I gather them up and place them in a casket
Taking responsibility for mistakes and considering closure ("casket").
Maybe I could save my favorite one for me.
Saving a favorite regret, perhaps indicating a willingness to keep a lesson learned.
IF I BARE MY SOUL WILL THE WEIGHT OF THE WORLD JUST FALL AWAY
Repeating the contemplation of sharing one's true self to relieve burdens.
I’M BLEEDING OUT
Reiteration of emotional pain and vulnerability ("bleeding out").
IF I CHANGE MY MIND WILL YOU STILL BE MINE OR TURN AWAY
Repeating concern about the impact of changing one's mind on a relationship.
I’M BLEEDING OUT
Reiterating the emotional pain and vulnerability expressed in line 29.
