Bleed
Jack Frost Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

out in the cold
paralyzed mind
visions of moving
hunger for more

born into silence
caught in the past
dreams of rising
hunting the light

[Chorus:]
hold on
sowing seeds
your heart
let it bleed

mourning for lost time
petrified eyes




heading for eden
nothing to lose

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Jack Frost's song Bleed appear to be describing a person who is trapped in their thoughts, unable to move forward and stuck in the past. The phrase "out in the cold" suggests a feeling of isolation and being alone. Perhaps the person is struggling with emotional pain or trauma, as indicated by the phrase "paralyzed mind." Despite feeling stuck, they have a strong desire to move forward and grow ("visions of moving hunger for more"). However, they feel bound by their past experiences ("born into silence caught in the past"). The lyrics suggest that the person is trying to break free from this pattern and find new opportunities and experiences ("dreams of rising hunting the light"). The chorus encourages the listener to "sow seeds" and let their heart bleed - perhaps suggesting that we need to take risks and be vulnerable in order to grow and heal.


It's interesting to note the ambiguity of the phrase "heading for eden." It's unclear whether the person is literally heading towards a place called Eden or if it's a metaphor for finding paradise or a sense of peace. The lyrics also seem to be intentionally vague in places, leaving the listener to interpret the meaning. For example, the line "mourning for lost time" could be interpreted in many different ways - perhaps the person is grieving a past relationship, or regretting missed opportunities.
