Bleed
Hot Chelle Rae Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My lips have turned a shade of blue
I'm frozen with this fear
That you may disappear
Before I've given you the truth
I bleed my heart out on this paper for you
So you can see what I can't say
'Cause I can't say what I want to
I bleed my heart out just for you
I've always dreamed about this moment
And now it's here and I've turned to stone
I stand here petrified
As I look you in your eyes
My head is ready to explode
I bleed my heart out on this paper for you
So you can see what I can't say
I'm dying here
'Cause I can't say what I want to
I bleed my heart out just for you
And it's all here in
Black and white and red
For all the times
Those words were never said
I bleed my heart out on this paper for you
So you can see what I can't say
I'm dying here
'Cause I can't say what I want to
I bleed my heart out just for you
I bleed my heart out just for you
The opening lines of Hot Chelle Rae's "Bleed" constitute an admission of vulnerability and fear. The singer compares this submerged feeling to drowning in ice-cold water, a sensation that is physically paralyzing and causes the color to fade from their lips. They worry that they will lose the person they are speaking to before they express their truth, possibly because of their own limitations or the fickleness of the listener.
Despite this fear, the singer resolves to "bleed their heart out" on paper in the hopes that the other person will understand what they cannot articulate. The desire to reveal their feelings drives the chorus, with repeated emphasis on "I bleed my heart out just for you." The singer feels trapped within themselves, unable to articulate their emotions as they stand like "stone" before the person who matters. Instead, they channel their emotion and fear through the symbolic act of writing, which leaves behind evidence of their commitment and truth.
As the verse progresses, the singer's sense of frustration and desperation keeps building. They confess that they have longed for this moment, perhaps for years, but now that they are in it, it's causing them immense distress. The fear is so finely honed that it could cause their head to "explode." All of this desperate emotion exists in a song supported by a minor key with a throbbing beat that matches the emotion simmering below the surface.
