"" 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.

Shoot the Pig
Bloodlet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lyrics to Bloodlet's song Shoot the Pig are open to interpretation but the meaning seems to center around the theme of violence and desperation. The lines "For none of these fuckers will ever know, what I think as I go. No... no not one last time." suggests a feeling of isolation and the idea that no one truly understands what the singer is going through. The line "Not for what I find may scare me more than if I stayed blind" suggests that the singer is facing some kind of challenge or problem that they feel compelled to confront, despite their fears.
The chorus, "I've shot the pig. I've drawn the line. I've got my nine under my shirt. Don't worry you won't get hurt." seems to be a reference to violence and the use of a gun. However, it's unclear who or what the "pig" is and why the singer feels the need to shoot it. The line "In my head ring blood tones that make me feel less alone" suggests that the singer is driven by some kind of internal need or desire.
Overall, the song seems to be an exploration of violence, desperation, and isolation. The lyrics suggest that the singer is struggling with some kind of challenge or difficulty and feels driven to take extreme measures to solve it.

Bad boy: Now, we're forced to do extreme things, make some money and get the fuck out of there!
