Bleeder
G. Porter Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You came to me like a dream.
The kind that always leaves
Just as the best part starts.
It ends so abruptly
And leaves you stunned and naked
In your bedroom all alone.
It's kinda funny how something so soothing
Gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone.

And you broke me like the cigarette
That I busted on the day I quit.
But now that I've been drinkin'
I'm out of smokes and I wish that I had it.
Woke up to my daily headache
And the realization that you are gone.
Oh my sweet darling happiness
You've been away from me all along.

One thing that I never said
I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head.
A lonely liver suspended in liquid.

You came to me like a dream
The kind that always leaves.
Just as the best part starts
It ends so abruptly.
And leaves you stunned and naked
In your bedroom all alone.
Kind of funny how something so soothing
Gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone.

One thing that I never said
I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
A lonely liver suspended in liquid.
It's one thing that I never did was swallow.
Missing a case
Lacking a lid
My heart bleeds for what you never did.
Never did.

It's one thing that I never said
I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
A lonely liver suspended in liquid
It's one thing that I never did was swallow.
Missing a case
Lacking a lid

My heart bleeds for what you never did.
My heart bleeds for what you never did until now

Overall Meaning

In "Bleeder," G. Porter tells the story of a dream-like encounter that ends too soon. The singer compares the feeling of being abruptly woken up from a dream to the pain of losing someone they cared about. The image of a cigarette broken in half is used to symbolize the way the singer feels - broken and completely out of their previous comfort zone. They admit to drinking and wishing they had a cigarette, lamenting the loss of their love.

In the second half of the song, the singer reveals that they have been holding onto a secret - that they are truly happy despite the loss of their love. They describe themselves as a "lonely liver suspended in liquid," suggesting that they are both isolated and numb. The final lines of the song, "Missing a case, lacking a lid / My heart bleeds for what you never did," provide a final, powerful punch. The singer cared for the person they lost, but ultimately found their own happiness, leaving their lover to miss out.

Line by Line Meaning

You came to me like a dream.
You appeared in my life just like a dream, something surreal and amazing.

The kind that always leaves.
But just like any dream, you left me as quickly as you came, hazy and uncertain.

Just as the best part starts.
Right when everything was getting great and exciting, you were gone again.

It ends so abruptly.
It felt like you just disappeared, without any warning, leaving me confused and anxious.

And leaves you stunned and naked.
I was left feeling exposed and vulnerable, like I had been stripped bare of everything I knew.

In your bedroom all alone.
And now, I'm left to deal with the aftermath of this dream, in the comfort of my own room.

It's kinda funny how something so soothing Gets interrupted by the ring of a telephone.
What's ironic is that something that was so calming and peaceful, was destroyed by something as trivial as a phone call.

And you broke me like the cigarette That I busted on the day I quit.
You shattered me completely, like how I crushed a cigarette after quitting smoking.

But now that I've been drinkin' I'm out of smokes and I wish that I had it.
But now that I'm drinking and I've run out of cigarettes, I regret ever quitting in the first place.

Woke up to my daily headache And the realization that you are gone.
Every day, I wake up with a headache and the crushing realization that you're no longer in my life.

Oh my sweet darling happiness You've been away from me all along.
I realize now that true joy has been missing from my life, and that you were never truly with me.

One thing that I never said I'm truly happy in my heart and in my head.
One thing I never expressed is that I'm actually deeply content and satisfied in my emotions and thoughts.

A lonely liver suspended in liquid.
I've turned to alcohol to numb my pain and loneliness, and it's taken over my life.

It's one thing that I never did was swallow. Missing a case Lacking a lid
What I've failed to do is take responsibility and ownership for my actions, which has led to me feeling lost and without direction.

My heart bleeds for what you never did.
My heart aches for all the things that you never did or could do for me, which I know would have made a difference.

My heart bleeds for what you never did until now
But at this moment, I see that those things may never happen, and I'm forced to accept that reality.

Great video! I'm buying one. Does the brake bleeding sequence you did with the Mazda 3 apply to other Mazdas like my car Mazda CX-3? Thanks for the mazda power bleed adapter link!

@OliverPorter92

The diagonal arrangement has been the default for several decades now. A diagonal split is safer in the event of the failure of one circuit: it leaves you with one front brake, whereas a F/R split could leave you with rear brakes only, and a vastly longer stopping distance.

This is awesome. So happy too to see a similar model and year. Mine is a 2012 mazda3 s. I had a squishy pedal that went to the floor. Did a brake bleed in the regular suggested order for all cars, tested it out and was almost back to normal but still a little squishy and sinks to floor at stops albeit much much slower now. I will be trying this new brake bleed order to see if that makes a difference and gets it back to normal.

I have a question though. Almost all my bleeder valves leak a little sometimes when I opened the valves to bleed, and also leaked a smaller amount when I wiggled the valve to put the rubber caps back on. Is this normal? They don’t leak at all when not wiggling them or loosening them. What is normal here so I can know if I need to change my bleeder valves? I will have to change one of them thigh because whoever worked on my car before had nearly rounded off the bleeder valve but.

@OliverPorter92

2y↑1

I have not seen this, but I would monitor them. Eventually, the calipers and their hardware get old; the screws rust out and can be a source of fluid loss (I am going to have to replace them soon at 150K miles). This isn't a very scientific/experiential answer but hope it helps.

@epicjas0n

Did the new bleeding order help or should I just use the regular order?

@GMoney-B

@@epicjas0n I think it did. It's so hard to tell in my case and maybe in general with brakes? I had a savior of the internet comment on another comment of mine on this video or who the heck knows that told me to unscrew the brake fluid cap but resting ontop to keep dust out. Then pump the brake pedal 40-50 times.

Lo and behold I did this and it fixed everything. All back to normal. The guy who suggested that was saying that it can help get air out of the lines in weird little places, especially the front calipers I think. Couldn't believe it. 4 brake fluid flushes later and this is what my problem was, lol. I will be doing this if I ever have any other problems with air in the lines, and also do this after bleeding all my brakes in the future for a flush.

Before bleeding with the power "bleeder", it is necessary that the liquid is ADD or FUll in the master cylinder?

Romain

@OliverPorter92

5y↑1

Thanks for watching, I did not adjust the fluid level in the master cylinder before bleeding, however it may make the process faster if it is full of fluid. Your goal should be to flush all of the old fluid out, so through the bleeding process you'll end up adding enough fluid to end the job at Full, with new fluid. I used 1 bottle of Prestone, hope this helps.

I have read Motive Products on the adapter cap to use on a Mazda 3 2006 2.3 litre but cannot find a definitive answer what the exact size to fit my car. I don’t care to go the route of using a universal adapter as suggested by Motive Products. If you do know the exact size adapter and kit to use for my car from the Motive Products website please give it to me. To end, I cannot catch which year Mazda 3 you have or what MP kit or adapter you used.

The bubbles is not coming from the system it's coming from the bleed valve because you open the bleed valve stomach

Most likely your soft peddle is a bad MC.... and the bubbles is air getting in at the bleeder screw threads

@GMoney-B

2y↑1

Speaking of which, most of my bleeder valves were leaking a little bit of fluid at the threads when I opened for bleeding. Is this normal for the bleeder valve to leak a little at the threads?

Also, how do you tell the difference between air and a MC that needs to be replaced?

@MyEyesBled

2y↑1

@@GMoney-B << No, closed hydraulic systems must be air tight and leak free. Brake fluid leaking from the bleeders means the seating surfaces are old and/or rusted... and if fluid is coming out, that means that air is going into the system mimicking a soft pedal which often is misdiagnosed as a bad MC... but if the bleeders are tight and the MC is still soft following a full bleed, that means the MC is gone as well. Sounds like a worn out system. Sadly the only fix in a complete rebuild .. all four calipers, Master Cylinder, ABS distributor, pressure relief valve, etc Just make sure you buy certified remanufactured parts ( Rock Auto ) and use new recommended brake fluid rating... don’t shake the bottle ever and check the seal on the new bottle along with the expiration date.... Good Luck

@GMoney-B

@@MyEyesBled Thanks so much for your reply. Replies on these types of troubleshooting issues are like gold to me. I forgot to mention that my brake bleeder valves do not leak at the threads whatsoever when I tighten them, it's just when they are turned open for bleeding when they leak a little bit. Is this normal for them to leak a little at the threads when they are turned open? I was using the bottle method with a submerged tube to get the air out. However, I am curious to get a helper to operate the brake pedal so I can tighten it after each pump. I would think if it's the threads leaking a little and air getting in that way, that using a helper might solve the issue. I am thinking of replacing the bleeder valves first, then the MC if needed before replacing the entire system.

I also did not bleed my brakes in the right order the first time with the criss-cross system, before I was reading of people just using the routine farthest to closest. So I also want to try the right criss-cross order and see if that helps in addition to changing the bleeders.

Thanks again!

@@GMoney-B <<< No problem dude! Yep, those single person bottle bleeders stink… its either a two person job or go on Amazon and buy a pressure bleeding system for your car… take the cap off the MC, suck out the old fluid, replace it with fresh new fluid (no bubbles) put on the new pressure cap, pump the system up to the recommended PSI, go to farthest Caliper from the MC, place a clear hose on the bleeder, use a small clear zip-tie to secure it in place on the bleeder valve tip, place the other end in a clear glass jar, now open the valve slowly until you see the fluid flow out the valve and into the jar under pressure, now close the valve before the pressure drops to zero. Unfortunately you must keep checking the pressure… never let it drop too low, unless you need to add fluid to the MC. They do make large systems (as in the vid) that you fill with two quarts of fluid so it never runs out, but you still need to check the pressure after each use. Now go to the next distant caliper and so on until you’re done…. It’s ok if fluid is being push through the threads, as long as it’s under pressure, it will not allow air to enter the system. Have fun!
