The Novelist
Bleed from Within Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It was on till the end
Before you begin to criticize us
All our blood, sweat and tears
Laid out on the table, for your judgment
If you only knew how much this meant to us
You would reconsider.
Reconsider,
Your choice of words.
x2
This will be a new chapter for us
And I am the novelist, The novelist
My words will bend and break you
I can't do this, night after night after night
I cant remember the last time, this was not on my mind
Inspired by the sound of the voices in the background, or even...
The wind against my skin
Yeah!
These lies are filled
With greed and hatred
These lights that guide us are truly damning
Am i left here all alone
Damning
Am i left here all alone
This will be a new chapter for us
And I am the novelist, The novelist
My words will bend and break you
I can't do this, night after night after night
I cant remember the last time, this was not on my mind
Inspired by the sound of the voices in the background, or even,
The wind against my skin
Against my skin.
So fixated,
Everyone seems so blinded by the light,
Everyone needs to wake the fuck up.
x2
And have a mind of your own.
And now you're broke
You're wall's invaded
And my words surround you
You, you can know
Begin to criticize
Put aside. x2
"Not the best and 100% accurate, but it was better than the last one that was up"
The lyrics of Bleed from Within's song The Novelist speak to the struggles of a musician or artist in the face of criticism and judgment. The opening lines, "This was just the beginning, it was on till the end" could be a reference to the band's career and the challenge of sustaining success. The lyrics seem to address critics who may not understand the effort and sacrifice the band has put into their work. The line "All our blood, sweat and tears laid out on the table, for your judgment" is a powerful and visceral image that underscores the pain of being judged and criticized by others. The lyrics urge the listener to "reconsider your choice of words" and appreciate the work and dedication it takes to create something meaningful.
The singer of the song, portrayed as "The Novelist," sees himself as the creator of a new chapter in the band's career. The use of the word "novelist" suggests that the writer sees himself as a creator of narratives and stories. The lyrics "My words will bend and break you" suggest that the writer's work is powerful and transformative. The reference to the "sound of the voices in the background" and "the wind against my skin" could be seen as a way of suggesting the creative process and how inspiration can come from unexpected places.

Matt Haug
The best group ever to see live. Purest Vocals in albums. Scott Kennedy has raw talent, no need to tune his voice in recording, cause he's that fucking good.

4:14 DAT BASS-DROP. Saw them live a few weeks ago. Amazing band !
Thief Thief
One of the best deathcore bands live
Louis Marson

Amy Louise
These guys are amazing live :D omg i really want to see them D:
White Tree
And to be clear he isn't some emo scene boy..so don't say shit about his hair flipping n what not. He's a metal badass with really good vocals and of course it's not like he takes the show because he's a front man. The band is legit
Matthew McAlister
Fucking amazing vocalist. No dislikes..for a reason \m/
Metal Void
What always surprises me is how quiet and withdrawn Scott is before he goes on stage. He avoids most interviews, pretty much any video you see of him he's in the background looking withdrawn; but the moment he gets on stage, he just turns into a God of metal.
