Bleeding Out
Bleeding Out: Echoes of Abandonment in Taylor Scott Band's Melodic Tale
Lyrics
Anything you need
Expressing readiness to provide anything necessary
While I bleed
Indicating a personal sacrifice or suffering while offering support
Do you know how it feels to be terrified by your own thoughts
Questioning if one understands the fear induced by their own thoughts
Do you know what it means
Asking if one comprehends the significance of eliminating memories
To cut out your memories
Describing the process of discarding memories one by one
One by one
Suggesting doubt about the listener's understanding
I don't think so
Expressing skepticism or disagreement
And if I was deserving
Contemplating one's deserving nature
Of this type of deserting
Reflecting on the feeling of being abandoned or deserted
Lord knows I regret my crimes
Expressing regret for past actions or mistakes
You left me bleeding out, laying in the road
Describing the aftermath of being left to suffer in the road
Bleeding out, stranded in the cold
Expressing the harsh reality of being stranded and abandoned
So much for best friends
Questioning the concept of best friends, possibly with a sense of betrayal
Who's the fool in the end
Pondering who is ultimately foolish in the situation
Be sure to leave nothing behind
Advising to leave nothing valuable behind
That you might need
Reiterating the offer of support while bleeding
While I bleed
Repeating the theme of bleeding while offering assistance
The hole in my soul is set to slow drip
Metaphorically describing a slow emotional drain or emptiness
For maximum sustain
Describing a deliberate, prolonged emotional state for maximum impact
And lord knows I will turn to almost anything
Expressing a willingness to resort to anything to numb emotional pain
To numb this pain
Acknowledging a deep emotional pain that needs numbing
I feel so low
Conveying a sense of profound emotional low or despair
And if I was abandoned
Contemplating the feeling of being abandoned or left alone
Just where you left me standing
Specifying the location where one was left standing, possibly feeling abandoned
I know you never really were mine
Realizing that the person was never truly theirs
You left me bleeding out, laying in the road
Repetition of the imagery of being left bleeding in the road
Bleeding out, stranded in the cold
Reiterating the feeling of being stranded and left in the cold
So much for best friends
Reflecting on the disappointment of losing a best friend
Who's the fool in the end
Pondering who is ultimately the fool in the situation
Be sure to leave nothing behind
Repeating the advice to leave nothing valuable behind
That you might need
Reiterating the offer of support while bleeding
While I bleed
Repeating the theme of bleeding while offering assistance
You left me bleeding out, laying in the road
Repetition of the imagery of being left bleeding in the road
Bleeding out, stranded in the cold
Reiterating the feeling of being stranded and left in the cold
So much for best friends
Reflecting on the disappointment of losing a best friend
Who's the fool in the end
Pondering who is ultimately the fool in the situation
Be sure to leave nothing behind
Repeating the advice to leave nothing valuable behind
That you might need
Reiterating the offer of support while bleeding
While I bleed
Repeating the theme of bleeding while offering assistance
