The band released Only a Suggestion on Teepee Records in 2002. In 2004 they signed to Dutch label Suburban Records (to date they have been more successful in Europe than North America) and released Dare I Say without Mike Callahan or Steve Earle, the latter replaced by new drummer Chris Leathers (Supafuzz). They have since recruited additional vocalist Aleah X (Banger, Devil May Care, Candy Says).
Left Side Bleeding
Hermano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just leave him alone
If you try to love somebody tonight
You'll only go home with a busted eye
Just enough
The left side is bleeding
Just enough to make the right side believe it?
Take time to knock some tooth out
Just leave him alone
If you're gonna fight with somebody tonight
You'll only go home with black in your eye
Just enough, the left side bleeding
Just enough to make the chicken fingers frozen
Nobody made me
Nobody made me at all, ohh
Nobody made me
Nobody made me at all, ohh
Listen to your mother
Listen to your lover
Listen to, listen your mother
Just walk on, just walk on, just walk
Nobody made me at all
Nobody made me at all
Nobody made me at all
The lyrics of Hermano's song "Left Side Bleeding" talk about the consequences of engaging in physical fights. The song starts by urging the listener to think twice before initiating a fight, rather, they should just leave the other person alone to avoid getting hurt. The songwriter highlights that trying to love someone on the same night that you engage in a fight will only lead to getting a busted eye. The chorus of the song emphasizes the physical damage that comes with a fight, with the left side of the body bleeding just enough to make the right side believe it. This line may also suggest that the person is physically hurt but doesn't want to show it to others.
The second verse continues with a similar theme, encouraging the listener to leave the other person alone and not fight with them. If the listener chooses to engage in a fight, they will only go home with a black eye. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the physical pain of fighting. Towards the end of the song, the lyrics take a sudden turn and suggest that nobody made the singer do anything. The person responsible for their actions is themselves. The song ends with the message to "Listen to your mother, listen to your lover", encouraging the listener to take advice from those close to them and avoid physical confrontations.
