Bleed It Out
Linkin Park/Musicfire.in Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hand grenade pins in every line
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Going out of my fucking mind
Filthy mouth, no excuse
Find a new place to hang this noose
String me up from atop these roofs
Truth is you can stop and stare
Bled myself out and no one cares
Dug a trench out, laid down there
With a shovel up out of reach somewhere
Yeah, someone pour it in
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Go, stop the show
Choppy words in a sloppy flow
Shotgun opera, lock and load
Cock it back and then watch it go
Mama, help me, I've been cursed
Death is rolling in every verse
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Can't contain him;
He knows he works
Fuck this hurts, I won't lie
Doesn't matter how hard I try
Half the words don't mean a thing
And I know that I won't be satisfied
So, why try ignoring him?
Make it a dirty dance floor again
Say your prayers and stomp it out
When they bring that chorus in
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
I've opened up these scars
I'll make you face this
I've pulled myself apart
I'll make you face this now
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
I bleed it out
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
Just to throw it away
I bleed it out
I bleed it out
I bleed it out
The song "Bleed It Out" by Linkin Park is a powerful anthem about the pain of self-destruction and the desperate search for relief. From the explosive opening lines, "hand grenade pins in every line," to the haunting final chorus, "digging deeper just to throw it away," the lyrics explore the frustration and futility of trying to escape one's own demons.
The song's protagonist is clearly struggling with intense feelings of anger, guilt, and despair. He feels like he is going "out of (his) fucking mind," and is so desperate for a release that he contemplates suicide, singing "string me up from atop these roofs, knot it tight so I won't get loose." He feels like nobody cares about his pain, singing "truth is you can stop and stare, bled myself out and no one cares."
Despite his feelings of isolation, the singer finds solace in the wild, cathartic energy of the song. He urges the listener to "make it a dirt dance floor again," urging them to release their emotions and experience the freedom that comes with giving up control. In the end, however, he realizes that his destructive impulses will always haunt him, no matter how hard he tries to "throw them away."
Overall, "Bleed It Out" is a powerful reflection on the struggle to cope with inner pain and the ultimate realization that true healing comes from within.
Line by Line Meaning
Yeah, here we go for the hundredth time
Starting again, repeating a familiar cycle
Hand grenade pins in every line
Dangerous and explosive elements present in every aspect
Throw 'em up and let something shine
Bring out something new and dazzling
Going out of my fucking mind
Losing control, becoming mad
Filthy mouth, no excuse
Using bad language with no justification
Find a new place to hang this noose
Looking for a new place to suffer or endure adversity
String me up from atop these roofs
Putting oneself at risk, even though it can be harmful
Knot it tight so I won't get loose
Holding tight onto something dangerous or risky
Truth is you can stop and stare
The truth is people can watch, but not help
Bled myself out and no one cares
Given all of oneself to others, and they are indifferent
Dug a trench out, laid down there
Have isolated oneself in a deep place
With a shovel up out of reach somewhere
With no way to escape the deep hole
Yeah, someone pour it in
Need someone to provide something new
Make it a dirt dance floor again
Turning something ugly and dark into a place of expression
Say your prayers and stomp it out
Trying to get rid of something toxic or negative in one's life
When they bring that chorus in
When the energy or excitement is ramped up
I bleed it out
Giving everything, to the point of exhaustion or injury
Digging deeper just to throw it away
Putting effort into something, just to see it wasted
Just to throw it away
Wasting something valuable, even though it took effort
Go, stop the show
Stopping everything, taking charge
Choppy words in a sloppy flow
Words coming out disjointed, incoherent
Shotgun opera, lock and load
Fast-paced, dangerous energy building up
Cock it back and then watch it go
Getting ready for something big to happen
Mama, help me, I've been cursed
In need of assistance from a higher power, suffering from misfortunes
Death is rolling in every verse
Feeling surrounded by danger and fear
Candy paint on his brand new hearse
Putting a nice finish on something ultimately negative
Can't contain him;
He knows he works
Having trouble controlling something powerful, knowing it is effective
Fuck this hurts, I won't lie
Admitting to the pain, the struggle
Doesn't matter how hard I try
Even with effort, still struggling or failing
Half the words don't mean a thing
Communication is failing, not making an impact
And I know that I won't be satisfied
Aware that success or happiness may not happen
So, why try ignoring him?
Why avoid a power or force that cannot be overcome?
I've opened up these scars
Facing past traumas and experiencing them fresh
I'll make you face this
Making someone confront what one is experiencing
I've pulled myself apart
Breaking down, losing composure and resolve
Just to throw it away
Putting great effort into something and seeing it tossed aside

Something really hits me about the lines:
"Death is rolling in every verse
Candy paint on his brand new Hearse
Can't contain him, he knows he works"
I really feel like these particular lines are about Chester himself.
He was going through so much constant pain but no matter how clearly he expressed himself, no one really took him seriously and because of that he just used it for his stage presence. He used his pain to write his songs for years and years until one day he just couldn't take it anymore.
