"" 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.

Shell
Bloodlet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics of Bloodlet's song 'Shell' are an intense portrayal of inner conflict and emotional turmoil. Throughout the song, the singer grapples with the dichotomy of rage and love, each taking turns to dominate their thoughts and emotions. The opening line "echoes of rage shatter stone" sets the tone for the rest of the song, with rage portrayed as a force powerful enough to break even the strongest of materials. As the song progresses, we see the singer's inner self being split apart by these opposing emotions, resulting in feelings of emptiness and wretchedness. The line "molten tears of emptiness cracked wide open" is a visceral portrayal of the singer's pain and anguish.
The song also touches upon themes of pride and righteousness, with the singer being torn between their search for a cure and affliction. The line "in my search cure becomes affliction, a malignant infestation burrows through the soul" portrays the singer's struggles with finding a sense of purpose in their life. The song ends with the singer standing alone, breathing time, and carrying the weight of their emotions and thoughts with them.
Line by Line Meaning
Echoes of rage shatter stone
The intensity of my anger is so powerful that its echoes shatter even the hardest of materials
Hate seeps through the cracks of wisdom
Even in moments of clarity and understanding, hatred is able to leak through and corrupt my thoughts
Molten tears of emptiness cracked wide open
My deep sense of emptiness has caused me such intense pain that it feels as though tears of molten lava are flowing from my eyes and have split me apart
Wretched inside out arcane fingers rip through my spine to find a way to my heart
My inner anguish is so intense that it feels like mystical fingers are reaching deep into my body, searching for a way to reach and hurt my heart
Tear through the emptiness in search of forever
I am desperately searching for something permanent to fill the void of emptiness within me
Flown away on wings of aggression
My aggression has caused me to lash out and metaphorically soar away from those around me
Lost in a cavernous tomb adorned with pride of the tribe of Judah twelve thousand were sealed
I feel trapped and lost, as if in a grand tomb designed to showcase the pride of a particular group of people
I stand alone breathing time
I am isolated and alone as I pass through each moment, simply existing and breathing through each one
Tormented shadows twist in agony
The shadows of my past haunt and torment me, causing great mental and emotional pain
At the tortured heaves of loves last breath
I am deeply pained by the end of a romantic relationship, witnessing the one I once loved struggle to take their last breath
The pain of what was bleeding the life out you'll never know
The emotional pain that I am experiencing is so great that it feels as though it is draining the life from me, but it is something that you will never understand.
The rage whit which I hate you'll never know
You will never fully comprehend the depth of my anger and hatred towards you.
The passion with which I love
I am capable of feeling intense love and passion towards others as well, not just anger and hatred.
In my search cure becomes affliction
My search for a cure to my pain often leads to me hurting myself even more deeply
A malignant infestation burrows through the soul
A destructive force is gnawing away at my very being, causing me great harm
Hollow forsaken empty man
I feel empty, abandoned, and hollow inside
The dust has life and the wind a soul
Even the smallest and seemingly insignificant things in life can possess great meaning and importance
Still you carry your banner of perverted righteousness
You continue to hold onto your beliefs and values, which I view as misguided and wrong
A crimson smile I stand alone breathing time
Despite my pain and anguish, I am able to put on a façade of happiness and contentment, although I am still alone and disconnected from those around me
