Her music has been described as everything from enigmatic and surreal, to aggressive, nihilistic, and brooding — as well as sarcastic and snide. The lyrical content, mostly cleverly disguised social commentary, is metaphoric and often tongue-in-cheek.

Bleed
Betty X Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Bleed motherfucker, bleed

I can feel the breath on my neck
I can smell the stench
I just want to make you bleed
I want to make you bleed
For the pain you caused me

Bleed motherfucker, bleed
Bleed
Bleed

I think it would take away the pain
I want to make you bleed for the things you did
I want to make you bleed

Bleed motherfucker, bleed

Bleed
Bleed

I honestly think Cole would be really great if he got the oportunity to play a madman in other projects. Just by looking at his eyes and his body language in the scenes set in the bunker, you can see that version of jughead is loosing his mind.

I kinda like this universe, with Ethel yelling at Jughead like they're married😂

Gail Griffin

Maybe in Rivervale the Jughead in the bunker and the Ethel are married. Maybe they are husband and wife. Because the way Ethel sounded when talked too Jughead sounded alot like a wife. And back in Riverdale the Ethel there had a crush on Jughead for all the high school years. 🏫

@The Joker In the comics Ethel is madly in love with Jughead much to his dismay.

Man Ethel is really pissed off about rivervale’s Jughead calling Betty. Maybe Tabatha and our Jughead should’ve stayed. Because I have a feeling either Ethel or Rivervale‘s jughead is going to kill one another.

giada

@LegendarySinger1 With 3 versions of jughead, it would be cruel if one of them wasn't the big bad of the last season! It could be bunker jughead or the other one whose origins are still unknown. I'd love to see that! After all, a jughead's evil twin exists in one of the Archie comics.

LegendarySinger1

@giada Yeah I think it’ll be jughead the one who will do the killer. I think either rivervale jughead might give up his life to save Rivervale or he might be the villain in the last season.

Calling it now: Jughead from Rivervale will make a deal with the devil to swap him with the Riverdale Jughead at the end of the season finale. Then this Jughead will start to show feelings for Betty. That will be how Archie and Veronica end up together once again 🙄

There are 3 of them.
And there really should only be two.
Tabitha saw that Jughead would die, maybe it is one of the Rivervale

Both Ethel and the writer are crazy in different ways actually. I can't imagine what would happen now if they spent more time together.

I wish Jughead & Tabitha had called out Vale Ethel for basically & in my opinion emotionally abusing Narrator Jughead within this scene. But very interesting info on why Rivervale events are effecting Riverdale.

giada

2y↑2

@Alessia Rugini But he is the human battery right? He could succefully separate the universes with his writing in episode 5 without the phone call. Maybe he needs to create different stories to fix the problems. Ethel can't solve the problems alone because he is still important I think.

Isaac Benoit

2y↑2

@Alessia Rugini Very well then though for me personally it would be nice to understand how the call could create the connection.

Alessia Rugini

2y↑2

@Isaac Benoit I don't know actually how he could make the phone call but since he made it he created the gate cause of the connection.

Isaac Benoit

2y↑3

@Alessia Rugini I get what you’re saying as well but from what I’ve seen & in my opinion, Rivervale is not in danger. Only Riverdale unless you believe that the universes colliding will eventually endanger Rivervale.

By the way but do you understand how Narrator Jughead calling Dale Betty created a portal that released supernatural energies & Percival into Riverdale or even how that Jughead was able to call Betty if they’re in two different universes?

Alessia Rugini

2y↑3

@The Joker I know but I get Ethel I mean he now destroyed both universes that are colliding just for 2 people of another dimension. It's not like he saved Betty and Archie with whom he grew up with.

And I think that maybe what happen with Veronica and Jughead. Might be like how was with Damon and Bonnie in the Vampire Diaries we thought they were going get together I thought they were but they didn't. So the same Might happen with Jughead and Veronica I don't know not really.

Probably chilling with iris at pops or something you know for a lunch break

JOSE DANIEL LEE SALAMANCA

Probably taking a whole episode to solve a problem that should realistically be solved by him in 2 seconds in order to pad the runtime due to the show's terrible writing.
