Recording the band's debut full-length "What Doesn't Kill You" wasn't an arduous process so much as an intense one. Some self-produced opening tandems like "Let it bleed again" and "Say your Last Goodbye." God or Julie carries the smoldering melodic torch of Placebo, HIM, and Muse. The band's name originated from one of their friend who wrote literally every song about either God or his girlfriend, Julie. The Johnson Brothers come from a blues backround. In their teens they used to play blues clubs and opened up for blues legends including George Thoroughgood. Little wonder God or Julie can intertwine euphoria and melancholy so effectively; you can leave the blues behind, but the blues never leave you.

Let It Bleed Again
God Or Julie Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I followed through on a whim and I knew fully
You always loose in the end everyone told me

Now the bruises show and everybody knows
You can heal or you can fall

And like your only friend I fight you to the end
I hear you scream again your calling out

As the truth begins you let it bleed again
I hear you scream again your calling out

And its true Im a fake Im no ones savior
You always knew I was lost and you returned the favor

Now the bruises show and everybody knows
You can heal or you can fall

And like your only friend I fight you to the end
I hear you scream again your calling out

As the truth begins you let it bleed again
I hear you scream again your calling out

Overall Meaning

"Let It Bleed Again" by God or Julie is a song about the pain of trying to fix someone else's problems, even when you know deep down that you can't. The opening lines set the tone for the rest of the song, as the singer admits to going along with something just because it seemed like a good idea at the time. The second line, "You always lose in the end," is a poignant reminder that sometimes you have to accept that there are things beyond your control.

The chorus of the song is a haunting and powerful testament to the struggles of the person being helped. The singer is like a friend, fighting alongside them until the bitter end, and hearing them cry out for help. At the same time, the singer acknowledges that they can't save everyone, that sometimes the truth comes out, and everything you thought you could fix comes pouring out.

This song beautifully captures the feeling of trying your best to help someone, but ultimately having to accept that you can't fix everything. It's a powerful reminder to prioritize your own self-care, even in the midst of a difficult situation.
