Bleed Me White
De/Vision Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm afraid of you
When I see you glare
I will go down on my knees
I'd do anything for you
Want to taste all sins
I lick off your feet
I can't get enough
I can never stop the lust

I keep still now you can bleed me white
If you stay you see my second side
I keep still now you can bleed me white
You'll discover an undying light

I play the fool for you
I lay down my pride
I will go down on my knees
I'd do anything for you
You can seal my fate
I give my heart to you
I can't get enough
I can never stop the lust

I keep still now you can bleed me white
If you stay you see my second side




I keep still now you can bleed me white
You'll discover an undying light

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of De/Vision's song Bleed Me White convey a sense of submission and devotion to another person, despite a possible fear or intimidation of that person. The singer admits to being afraid of the addressee and will literally kneel down in front of them, willing to do anything for their approval. The lyrics hint at a sexual undertone with the imagery of "tasting sins" and "licking feet", suggesting that the singer is willing to be humiliated and degraded for the other person's satisfaction.


The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea of the singer willing to be "bled white" by the other person, suggesting that they are willing to give everything up for them, even if it means being drained of all their energy or life force. There is a sense of desperation in the lyrics, with the repeated phrase "I can't get enough, I can never stop the lust", suggesting that the singer is addicted to this sense of subservience and willful surrender.


Overall, the lyrics paint a picture of a very unbalanced and potentially unhealthy relationship dynamic, where one person holds all the power and the other willingly submits to them. It's unclear whether the singer is in love with the addressee or simply under their spell, but the lyrics lend themselves to a rather dark and twisted interpretation of desire and devotion.
