"" Formed in 1992 and comprised of members Scott Angelacos (vocals), Matt Easley (guitar), Art Legre (bass), and John Stewart Jr. (drums), Bloodlet specializes in a form of hardcore that's even more angst ridden and brutal than most of their counterparts. Issuing several singles straight away, Bloodlet signed on with the renowned hardcore label Victory not long after their formation, resulting in a trio of releases during the mid to late ‘90s -- 1995's Eclectic (a compilation of their aforementioned early singles), 1996's Entheogen, and 1998's Seraphim Fall, before splitting up. Little was heard from Bloodlet's former members, as most dispersed to other locales. But during their retirement, several up and coming hardcore groups began name checking Bloodlet as an important influence (especially Eighteen Visions, among others), and by late 2001, Bloodlet had reunited and was rehearsing once more. Hooking up with renowned indie producer Steve Albini, Bloodlet issued their fourth release overall in 2002, the hard hitting Three Humid Nights in the Cypress Trees -- picking up exactly where they'd left off several years earlier.

Bloodlet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Bloodlet’s song One And Only convey a sense of anger and pain directed towards someone who has deeply hurt the singer. The opening lines describe the singer’s “guts” as burning, which suggests a feeling of intense emotion. The second line, “you set them ablaze when you pulled them out,” references the idea of “ripping someone’s guts out,” which is a metaphor for causing extreme emotional pain. The fact that the person who caused the pain is not present makes the situation all the more difficult for the singer.
The following lines suggest that the singer feels as though there is nothing left for them. Their emotional state has been reduced to “smoldering ashes,” and they question what there is left to love. The repetition of the word “burn” throughout the lyrics communicates the intensity of the singer’s emotional distress. The second half of the song focuses on revenge, as the singer declares that the person who caused their pain will “get theirs” and that the singer will “force you to bear witness to my pain.” The use of violent language such as “if it could be channeled into violence I'd eat your existence” shows how deeply hurt the singer is, and how desperate they are for some form of justice or retribution.
Overall, the song One And Only is a powerful expression of emotional pain, anger, and the desire for revenge.
Line by Line Meaning
My guts burn you set them ablaze when you pulled them out
You have caused me so much pain that it feels like my insides are on fire
you're not even here to feed the fire so why do they still burn
Even though you are not physically present with me, the pain you caused still lingers and hurts me deeply
not much left now smoldering ashes so what's to love
After enduring so much pain and devastation, there is almost nothing left for me to hold onto and love anymore
you think you can hide from what you've done
You believe that you can avoid the consequences of your actions and escape responsibility for the harm you caused
you think I can't smell your fear from a distance of 5 years an 600 miles
Despite the physical distance between us, I can sense your fear and guilt from the harm you caused me, even years later
it burns in my nostrils as my heart burns in my throat
The pain and hurt you caused me is so intense that it hurts me emotionally and physically, manifesting as a burning sensation in my heart and throat
your time has come you will get yours
You will face the consequences for the harm you caused me and justice will be served
I'll force you to bear witness to my pain that alone enough to set you insane
I will make you experience the pain you caused me and it will be so intense that it may drive you to insanity
I've held it all been conditioned to if it could be channeled into violence I'd eat your existence
I have been holding onto my pain for so long, and if it could be transformed into a violent urge, I would seek to destroy you completely
I have not the taste for the flesh of the innocent but yours father has made my mouth water
Although I am not naturally inclined towards violence, I am so consumed with anger towards you that even the thought of harming you brings me pleasure
