Watch Me Bleed

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Keeps you safe for the moment
As you're walking away
Your footsteps get louder
All you needed was time
But now time will destroy us
It will all be over and here we are
You pierce my lungs
My limbs go numb as my colors fade out
You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed
I gave you everything to die with a smile
All you wanted was to live for a while
You took everything but it left you empty
You can't replace me, you can't
It's almost over and here we are
We're stuck inside this salted earth together
You pierce my lungs
My limbs go numb as my colors fade out
You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed
It will all be over and here we are
We'll die inside this salted earth together
You pierce my lungs
My limbs go numb as my colors fade out
You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed
You watch me bleed
Watch me bleed
The lyrics to ScarykidsScaringkids's song Watch Me Bleed depict a relationship that has deteriorated to the point of destruction. The first stanza sets the scene with the singer noting that maintaining silence makes things easier and safer, as the other person walks away. However, their footsteps become louder, signaling that the relationship is about to come to an end. The second stanza is a realization that everything is about to be over, and the two will be stuck together on this "salted earth." The imagery of salted earth suggests that nothing will grow between them anymore, and the relationship is now barren. The third stanza reveals that the other person has taken everything from the singer, leaving them empty and bleeding. The last repetition of the phrase "you watch me bleed" indicates that, despite everything, the other person is still present, watching everything unfold.
In contrast to the upbeat music, the lyrics of the song are profound and heavy. They deal with themes of betrayal, loss, and the destructive nature of relationships. The singer is aware that the relationship is beyond repair, and the other person has taken everything, leaving them empty and bleeding. The repeated phrase "you watch me bleed" is a poignant reminder of the pain and suffering inflicted on the singer by the other person.
