Bleeding Out
Bleeding Out: Embracing Hope Amidst Life's Trials
Lyrics
Even if I was lonely, even if I was broke
Despite loneliness or poverty
Even if all the dogs in the pound let me know
Even if everyone rejects me
Saying it's never over, it never ends
Implying perpetual struggle, no conclusion
Grab the guns and the ammo, let us descend
Preparing for a fight, possibly metaphorical
To the darkest of prisons and break their defense
Confronting the toughest challenges
We will rattle the cages, rules will be bent
Willingness to challenge norms or authority
Oh, remind us our days are all numbered not spent
A reminder of limited time in life
And peace, it comes easy, like mist on a ridge
Peace comes effortlessly, like nature's phenomenon
Breathing in, breathing out, the salt in my mouth
Repetitive emphasis on finding purpose in pain or difficulty
Gives me hope that I'll bleed something worth bleeding out
-Breathing in, breathing out, the salt in my mouth
-Gives me hope that I'll bleed something worth bleeding out
-All the horoscopes tell us to break all our ties
Suggestions to sever connections for progress
To our families and loved ones we leave when we fly
Critique of urban life and its influence on identity
To these cities we think we need in our lives
-Oh, you Manhattan jungle, you tangle our pride
-Breathing in, breathing out, the salt in my mouth
Repetitive emphasis on finding purpose in pain or difficulty
Gives me hope that I'll bleed something worth bleeding out
-Breathing in, breathing out, the salt in my mouth
-Gives me hope that I'll bleed something worth bleeding out
-All the buildings, they lean and they smile down on us
Buildings symbolizing discouraging voices, defiance against them
And they shout from their rooftops words we can't trust
-Like "you're dead, you are tired, you're ruined, you're dust
-Oh, you won't amount to nothing, like tanks full of rust"
-But we scream back at them from below on the street
Unity in defiance, asserting worth and beauty
All in unison we sing, our time's been redeemed
-We are all of the beauty that has not been seen
-We are full of the color that's never been dreamed
-Where nothing we need ever dies
Emphasizing eternal aspects of necessary elements
Where nothing we need ever dies
-Where nothing we need ever dies
-Breathing in, breathing out, the salt in my mouth
Repetitive emphasis on finding purpose in pain or difficulty
Gives me hope that I'll bleed something worth bleeding out
-Breathing in, breathing out, the salt in my mouth
-Gives me hope that I'll bleed something worth bleeding out
-Breathing in, breathing out, the salt in my mouth
-Gives me hope that I'll bleed something worth bleeding out
-Breathing in, breathing out, the salt in my mouth
-Gives me hope that I'll bleed something worth bleeding out
