Bleed
Unveiling the Heart's Echo: Marti West's Bleed
Lyrics
Why try to run when you can't even walk
Expressing the futility of attempting to escape or avoid problems when facing fundamental challenges.
Why try to shout when you can't even talk
Highlighting the difficulty of making one's voice heard when basic communication is hindered.
And you only hear what you want to hear
Emphasizing selective hearing, choosing to listen only to what aligns with personal desires.
The years rolling easy with your kind of ears
Describing the passage of time as smooth for those who are selective in their perception.
And you bleed a little love on me
Referring to experiencing emotional pain or vulnerability, using the metaphor of bleeding.
You bleed a little love on me
Repetition for emphasis on the emotional aspect, possibly a plea for affection or understanding.
And there's no use you kicking back shaking your head
Addressing someone who is resistant to advice, surrounded by followers, and enjoying their support.
With your tribe of sycophants breaking your bread
Describing a self-indulgent lifestyle with a group of flatterers who share in one's success.
And the days drip, and stick to you like honeycomb
Visualizing time passing slowly, with experiences clinging to an individual like a honeycomb.
And a ghost on your lips says there's no place like home
Introducing the idea of a lingering presence or memory, suggesting a complex relationship with home.
And you bleed a little love on me
Repetition of the bleeding metaphor, underscoring the intensity of emotional pain or vulnerability.
You bleed a little love on me
-You bleed a little love on me
-You bleed a little love on me
-A part of me, departed
Introducing a theme of loss and transformation, with a part of the self departing and questioning identity.
A part of me
-A part of me, departed
-A part of me
-A part of me departed (A part of me you wore)
-A part of me (Then what was I before?)
-A part of me departed (A part of me you wore)
-A part of me (Then what was I before?)
-A part of me departed (A part of me you wore)
-A part of me (Then what was I before?)
-A part of me departed (A part of me you wore)
-A part of me (Then what was I before?)
