Red
Me and my bones Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hate in your eyes
Full of rage but empty inside
Let's decide
It's you or I
Who leaves here alive tonight
Teeth are grindin' I don't mind it
Love the violence
Sit in silence
Fuck that scream it like I mean it
Hear the voices
I can beat 'em
Embrace the pain and fight the demons
I'm in pieces
All I see is
A little bit of red
Little bit of red roses
Drippin' from my hands
Cutting both of them open
Way too many lies
Way too many bonds broken
Way too many bonds broken
No surprise
Hate in your eyes
Full of rage but empty inside
Let's decide
It's you or I
Who leaves here alive tonight
Who leaves here alive tonight
Who leaves here alive tonight
Bones are breakin'
Ground is shakin'
Heart is racin'
Much temptation
Burn the nation
God can't save us
Fuck that
Scream it like I need it
Let these voices off their leashes
Embrace the pain and fight the demons
Can't find peace when all I see is
A little bit of red
Little bit of red roses
Drippin' from my hands
Cutting both of them open
Way too many lies
Way too many bonds broken
Way too many bonds broken
No surprise
Hate in your eyes
Full of rage but empty inside
Let's decide
It's you or I
Who leaves here alive tonight
Who leaves here alive tonight
Who leaves here alive tonight
Who leaves here alive tonight
A little bit of red
Little bit of red roses
Drippin' from my hands
Cutting both of them open
Way too many lies
Way too many bonds broken
Way too many bonds broken
The lyrics of "Red" by Me and my bones express intense emotions of anger, pain, and violence. The song seems to be about a violent confrontation between two people, with one of them having hatred in their eyes and both of them being empty inside. The singer wants to decide who leaves alive tonight and seems to enjoy the violence and the pain. The lyrics show that the singer has lost their mind and is in pieces, drowning in a little bit of red (symbolizing blood) and red roses that are dripping from their hands after cutting them. The lyrics also suggest the singer has gone through way too many lies and broken bonds, which amplify their pain and rage.
The lyrics of "Red" reflect the dark side of human nature, where someone can be driven to extreme violence due to their broken past or because of external factors. The singer seems to have embraced their inner demons, allowing them to take control and amplify their rage. The lyrics also suggest the singer's struggle with mental health issues, and they cannot find peace even when they try. The lyrics of "Red" are, therefore, a commentary on our society's fragile mental health state, where people are pushed to their limits and often resort to extreme measures.
