Bleeding
Idle Sons Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
For things set upon the shelf, or
Those days when you played the whore
You're waging a war you can't win
You die
Inside
The one thing that you'll never hide
It's the bleeding of the heart
The meaning of it all
The bleeding of your everything
I know
It's the bleeding of the heart
The meaning of it all
The bleeding of your everything
I know
Now that you've found yourself
You're engaged
Enraged
Nothing more
Those things you once could conquer
Have come back around after all
You die
Inside
The one thing that you'll never hide
You cry
It's the bleeding of the heart
The meaning of it all
The bleeding of your everything
I know
It's the bleeding of the heart
The meaning of it all
The bleeding of your everything
I know
I will find you
I will find you
I will find you
I will find you
It's the bleeding of the heart
The meaning of it all
The bleeding of the heart
The bleeding of your everything
I know
It's the bleeding of the heart
The meaning of it all
The bleeding of your everything
I know
The song "Bleeding" by Idle Sons is an emotional and raw piece that touches upon themes such as heartbreak, self-destruction, and regret. The first verse talks about the struggle of letting go of things that have been set in the past, as well as the betrayal and hurt caused by a person who played the part of a whore. The second verse talks about the aftermath of such experiences, how they leave one feeling empty and lost.
The chorus repeats the line "It's the bleeding of the heart, the meaning of it all, the bleeding of your everything," emphasizing how one's feelings are spilling out and cannot be hidden. The repeated phrase "I will find you" may signify the singer's desire to find the person who caused this pain, or to find themselves once again. The bridge echoes the chorus in a more subdued manner, bringing the song to a close.
Overall, the lyrics are filled with a sense of despair and the difficulty of moving on from past traumas. However, the repetition of the chorus and the strong vocals lend a sense of hopefulness to the song.
