Hemorrhage
Fuel Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Drag the waters till the depths give up their dead
What did you expect to find?
Was there something you left behind?
Don't you remember
Anything I said when I said
Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands
Love lies bleeding
Oh, hold me now, I feel contagious
Am I the only place that you've left to go?
She cries her life is like
Some movie, black and white
Dead actors faking lines
Over and over and over again she cries
Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands
Love lies bleeding
And I wanted, but you turned away
You don't remember, but I do
You never even tried
Don't fall away
And leave me to myself
Don't fall away
And leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
Leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again
Leave love bleeding in my hands
In my hands again, oh
The lyrics of Fuel's song "Hemorrhage" suggest a narrative of heartbreak and loss. The opening lines "memories are just where you laid them" hint at a feeling of nostalgia and longing for what once was. The next line "drag the waters till the depths give up their dead" follows a common motif in literature of diving into the depths of one's self or one's past to the point where old ghosts are brought back to life.
The singer then asks "what did you expect to find?" and wonders if there was something left behind by his former love. He questions the other person's memory of their past, asking if they remember anything he said when he asked them not to leave him to himself. The haunting line "And leave love bleeding in my hands" suggests that they've already gone, but the singer is still holding on to the pain of their love.
The second verse continues this narrative, with the woman in question crying that her life feels like a black and white movie with fake lines. The final lines of the song "And I wanted, but you turned away / You don't remember, but I do / You never even tried" suggest that the singer is still holding on to his love for this woman who may have never loved him back.
Overall, "Hemorrhage" is a powerful song that speaks to feelings of heartbreak, loss, and longing. Its passionate vocals and driving guitar riffs make it a standout track in Fuel's discography.
Line by Line Meaning
Memories are just where you laid them
The memories of the past are still there, existing where they were left.
Drag the waters till the depths give up their dead
Search for the truth until you find it, even if it means diving deep into the unknown.
What did you expect to find?
What was your objective? What did you think you would discover?
Was there something you left behind?
Did you abandon something or someone in the past and hoped to reclaim it?
Don't you remember
Do you not recall the events that have taken place?
Anything I said when I said
The words that I spoke, do you remember any of them?
Don't fall away
Don't leave me alone in the darkness, straying from the path we once followed.
And leave me to myself
Abandon me to wrestle with my demons alone.
And leave love bleeding in my hands, In my hands again, And leave love bleeding in my hands, In my hands
Love has hurt me once more, and I am left to tend to the wounds that it has caused.
Love lies bleeding
Love is in agony and struggling to survive.
Oh, hold me now, I feel contagious
Hold me close, for my pain and sorrow may infect you as well.
Am I the only place that you've left to go?
Have I become the last resort, the last haven of comfort?
She cries her life is like, Some movie, black and white, Dead actors faking lines, Over and over and over again she cries
Her life feels like an old, meaningless film, devoid of color and passion. She is surrounded by people who pretend to care but are just acting, and she is exhausted from their insincerity.
And I wanted, but you turned away, You don't remember, but I do, You never even tried
I yearned for you, but you dismissed my advances. You have forgotten, but I have not, that you never made an effort to fully pursue our relationship.
