The Healing
Bleed from Within Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Would you even care
would anyone notice
Have I made an impact on your life
What would it matter to you if I was gone
This congress comes together
to say their final farewell
I have to make a statement
It's not every day you are made to realize
what you have in front of you
My wounds are healing
But this bitter taste will never leave my mouth
The fury, this rage that's built up inside of me
It's all flooding out
I haven't lost everything
But I don't feel anything
The thought of losing it all will haunt me
I am choking on these words
the last words you ever spoke
The hardest part is trying to forget
Although I will never forgive
for the way you were taken from me
I am filled with reason to seek revenge
For I am filled with hatred
For I am filled with hatred
My thoughts are sickening
mindless rage
Flooding out of me
This bitter taste will never leave my mouth
The fury, this rage that's built up inside of me
It's all flooding out
I haven't lost everything
But I don't feel anything
The lyrics to Bleed from Within's song The Healing are about the struggle to come to terms with the possibility of one's own death, and the question of whether that death would matter to anyone else. The singer wonders if their life has made any kind of impact on those around them and questions whether anyone would even care if they were gone. These thoughts are juxtaposed with a political event, as the singer watches a congress come together to say their final farewells. The song is filled with conflicting emotions as the singer grapples with feelings of loss, bitterness, and rage.
The repeated line "This bitter taste will never leave my mouth" speaks to the lasting effect that these emotions have on the singer. They may be healing from physical wounds, but the emotional scars run deep. The fury and rage that have built up inside of them are all flooding out, and they are filled with a sickening sense of hatred. The lyrics suggest that the hardest part is not forgiving those who have caused this pain, but rather trying to forget the last words they ever spoke. The singer is haunted by the thought of losing everything and the feeling of choking on their own words.

This congress comes together
A group of people assemble
to say their final farewell
to bid goodbye for the last time
With these words
Using these terms
I have to make a statement
I need to convey a message
It's not every day you are made to realize
It's not always that you become aware
what you have in front of you
of what's right in front of your eyes
My wounds are healing
My injuries are getting better
But this bitter taste will never leave my mouth
However, the resentment will always remain inside me
The fury, this rage that's built up inside of me
The intense anger that has accumulated within me
It's all flooding out
It's all coming out uncontrollably
I haven't lost everything
I haven't lost all that I had
But I don't feel anything
But I don't experience anything emotionally
The thought of losing it all will haunt me
The idea of losing everything will terrify me
I am choking on these words
I am finding it hard to articulate these things
the last words you ever spoke
The final words you uttered
The hardest part is trying to forget
The most challenging aspect is attempting to move on
Although I will never forgive
Even though I won't pardon
for the way you were taken from me
for how you were removed from my life
I am filled with reason to seek revenge
I am motivated to take revenge
For I am filled with hatred
Because I am bursting with animosity
My thoughts are sickening
My opinions are repulsive
mindless rage
uncontrollable anger
This bitter taste will never leave my mouth
This resentment will always persist within me
The fury, this rage that's built up inside of me
The intense anger that has accumulated within me
It's all flooding out
It's all coming out uncontrollably
I haven't lost everything
I haven't lost all that I had
But I don't feel anything
But I don't experience anything emotionally

This is timeless. I been listening pretty much constantly for nearly a decade now, if we count Humanity, which there is no reason not too then it is a full decade. I can't express with mere English how much I love and appreciate this band. Just brilliant and it truly is beautiful, especially 3:47 onwards. I have every CD and I love how they have mixed up the sound but still retain the same fundamental feeling of the band, Era even sounds like a mix of all the styles they have conveyed. No one like em.

I always loved the way Scott ends the word "revenge" at 4:26. Just sounds cool.
