"" 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.

Undying
Bloodlet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
In Bloodlet's song "Undying," the lyrics describe a sense of belonging and acceptance within a twisted and disfigured existence, equating it to being adjoined spiritually to a cross. The singer chooses this existence despite the hate felt by others who have fallen from their own crosses. The violent imagery present in the lyrics, with the hammer driving the last nail and the acrid stench of tools, creates a feeling of unease and discomfort. The idea of constantly reopening scars with a word and finding sustenance in torment implies a sense of masochism and pain-seeking, possibly as a way to cope with the singer's own emotional pain.
Despite the disturbing nature of the lyrics, there is a sense of resilience and even defiance in the singer's words. The line "one thousand eyes do not lament when you fuse upon me" suggests a willingness to be judged or persecuted by others, as if they cannot penetrate the singer's sense of self. The final line, "here I will stay nailed to my cross alone as I was in the beginning," implies a sense of self-reliance and the understanding that the singer's existence is fundamentally solitary.
Line by Line Meaning
Hammer drives home the third and final nail
The final act of torture has been inflicted upon me in order to keep me bound.
This twisted disfigurement adjoined spiritually to the cross I call home
My physical and spiritual state is tied to this cross which I cannot escape.
One thousand eyes do not lament when you fuse upon me for I choose this existence
Despite the pain that is inflicted upon me, I have chosen to remain here and endure it.
Watch them dance their intoxicated dance
I am forced to watch as those who have inflicted this pain upon me revel in their cruelty.
The acrid stench of the tools of their trade
The tools they use to torture me give off a disgusting smell that only adds to my misery.
The hate felt for those once like me who have chosen to fall from their cross exists unequaled
Those who have been in my position and chosen to give up are despised even more than I am.
One thousand feet incessant tattoo scarred earth sacrilege filth covers mother of all bastard child attempts matricide
The ground surrounding me is scarred and dirty, as if it has been defiled by the atrocities committed upon it.
Hang my head in misery but my eyes will not shut out the screams
I am filled with sorrow and despair, yet I cannot block out the sounds of my own suffering.
Scars run deep reopen with a word
The injuries inflicted upon me are severe and easily reopened with a single utterance.
Rivers form lakes of torment for them to find sustenance in
The pain and suffering that I endure is a source of nourishment for those who inflict it upon me.
Here I will stay nailed to my cross alone as I was in the beginning
I am trapped here, alone and enduring the same agony that has plagued me from the start.
