1. Bleach (UK)
The British shoegaze band Bleach was formed in Ipswich in 1989 by brothers Neil (guitar) and Nick Singleton (bass) together with former Anglian TV researcher Salli Carson (vocals) and drummer Steve Scott. Between 1990 and 1993 the band produced two EPs, a mini-album and two full length albums, plus several singles. There was also a compilation album of singles.
Bleach were often described as being at the forefront of the so-called ‘shoegazing’ scene, but despite critical acclaim never managed to achieve the popularity of bands like Curve, Ride and Slowdive. Bleach’s music is actually very varied, encompassing hard-edged psychedelia, grunge, neo-funk and mellow, almost pastoral Cocteau Twins style dreamscapes.
2. Bleach (JP)
Bleach (alternatively called Bleach03 or Bleachmobile) was an all-female punk trio from Okinawa, Japan. The members included, Kanna on guitar and vocals, Miya on bass and Sayuri on drums. Kanna was the primary lyricist. Citing artistic differences, Bleach disbanded on June 10, 2009, less than a month before the release of their final album "bleach stone."
Several early singles were released prior to their first full length, "Kibaku-Zai" (Triggering Device), which was released in 2000. In 2001, the band released three EPs including "Hadaka No Jo" (Naked Queen) to a growing audience. In 2003, Bleach released the EP "Canary Teikoku No Gyakushu" (Canary Empire Strikes Back) and, later that year, a full-length entitled "Bleach." In 2003, due to a growing audience outside of Japan, a UK label released "Three Girls From Okinawa," which consists of "Naked Queen" and three cuts from the earlier "Triggering Device." In 2007, to the delight of their growing fan base, Bleach released "The Head That Controls Both Right And Left Sides Eats Meats And Slobbers Even Today."
3. Bleach (US)
Bleach is a Nashville-based Christian rock band that formed at Kentucky Christian University, in Grayson, Kentucky. Formed in 1995, Bleach originally went by the name Blueberry Muffin. They disbanded in 2004, but reformed in 2010.
In 1997 Bleach earned a Dove Award in the category of Modern Rock Recorded Song of the Year for their song "Epidermis Girl," which was released on their debut album Space.
In 2003 the members of Bleach announced that they were going to disband. After the announcement, the band said goodbye to their fans in the form of a farewell tour, which was followed by the final album Farewell Old Friends. Bleach's "last show" was performed on August 29, 2004, in Nashville, Tennessee, but on March 13, 2005, Bleach performed a reunion show to benefit the Aaron Marrs Memorial Fund. They also performed a reunion show at The O.C. Supertones's last show, which was held at Biola University on October 7, 2005.
Bleach's sound was often compared to Weezer or what is sometimes referred to as alternative or geek rock.

Bleach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I can't breathe
What holds me up is what holds me down
And I am more unstable than I seem
There's not much there
My heart is bare
Chorus:
But I believe You've given me more
Than I could know
And I know this
You are good
I've fought the fight against myself
And I have lost the fight again
My body's broke from falling down
This time I'll win
Just give me one more chance
My heart is bare
My eyes are weak I can only see
But I know that you're e there
A glimmer of Your gold
But it's enough to know
You are good
And through it all You've given me
Oh how I know
A peace that overflows
That You are good
So good to me
You're good
The song Good by Bleach starts with the lines “What goes around comes around, and I can't breathe.” The singer conveys a feeling of being emotionally and mentally exhausted, and he credits his persistence to something that is both holding him up and pushing him down - this could be interpreted as faith in something higher or more powerful than himself. The chorus, which repeats multiple times throughout the song, says “But I believe You've given me more Than I could know/And I know this/You are good”. Here, the singer expresses his trust in a higher power, and believes that he has been given more than what he deserves.
The second verse begins with the lines “I've fought the fight against myself/And I have lost the fight again/My body's broke from falling down/This time I'll win/Just give me one more chance.” The singer presents himself as someone who has battled with his own personal demons for a long time, and despite the numerous times he has fallen down, he isn't giving up yet. The final verse has the singer acknowledging the limitations of his eyesight in seeing anything beyond his immediate environment. However, he expresses his belief that something bigger than himself exists, and it is enough for him to trust in that knowledge. The song ends on a positive note, with the affirmation that the higher power is good and has blessed him with peace.
Line by Line Meaning
What goes around comes around
The negative things I do will eventually catch up to me
And I can't breathe
I feel suffocated and overwhelmed by my problems
What holds me up is what holds me down
The same things that keep me going are also weighing me down
And I am more unstable than I seem
I may appear fine on the surface, but inside I am struggling and unstable
There's not much there
I feel empty and lacking in many aspects of my life
My heart is bare
I am vulnerable and exposed emotionally
Chorus:
The following lines are the refrain of the song
But I believe You've given me more
I have faith that I have been given more blessings than I realize
Than I could know
I may not be aware of all the good things in my life
And I know this
I am certain of this
You are good
God is kind and benevolent
I've fought the fight against myself
I have struggled with my own inner demons
And I have lost the fight again
I have failed to overcome my own weaknesses
My body's broke from falling down
I am physically and emotionally exhausted from my struggles
This time I'll win
I am determined to succeed this time
Just give me one more chance
I am asking for another opportunity to make things right
My heart is bare
I am still very vulnerable emotionally
My eyes are weak I can only see
I am blinded by my problems and can only see what's in front of me
But I know that you're there
I have faith that God is present even though I may not see Him
A glimmer of Your gold
Even a small sign of God's goodness is enough to give me hope
But it's enough to know
I may not have everything figured out, but knowing God is good is enough for me
You are good
God is kind and benevolent
And through it all You've given me
Despite my struggles, God has still given me blessings
Oh how I know
I am certain of this
A peace that overflows
I have an abundance of peace in my life through God
That You are good
Again, reaffirming that God is kind and benevolent
So good to me
God's goodness is personal to me and impacts my life positively
You're good
Repeating the idea of God's benevolence and kindness
