My Heart Bleeds the Darkest Blood
Shai Hulud Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I have to let you die.
I have to let you fade.
So spare me the male accusations.
I would have told you those things you wanted to hear

And I would have cared
The way you thought no one ever would.
And now my heart bleeds cold.
I refuse to be caressed by stone.
I now live emotionless and free from your pain.

My heart bleeds the darkest blood.
My heart is cold as stone




A rock feels no pain
No laughter. no loving. no contact.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Shai Hulud's song My Heart Bleeds the Darkest Blood speaks about letting go of someone and freeing oneself from the pain that accompanies the end of the relationship. The lyrics imply that the singer had to make the difficult decision of letting go of their partner, even though they would have cared for them and told them all the things they wanted to hear. However, this decision was made out of necessity, and the singer refuses to be consoled by something that is not alive, i.e., stone.


The singer then asserts that their heart now bleeds the darkest blood and has turned as cold as stone. They no longer feel emotions like love and laughter, and they choose not to be swayed by any form of caress that is not alive. While the singer is emotionally cold and feels nothing, they are content with being emotionless, and free from the pain their partner brought into their life.


Overall, the song's message speaks about letting go of someone even when it hurts, and the importance of placing one's own emotional well-being above everything else.

I have to let you die

I have to let you fade
so spare me the vile accusations

I would have told you
those things you wanted to hear
and I would have cared
the way you thought no one ever would

My heart bleeds cold
I refuse to be caressed
Like stone
I now live emotionless and free from your pain
My heart bleeds the darkest blood

And now my heart bleeds cold
I refuse to be caressed
Like stone
I now live emotionless and free from your pain
My heart bleeds the darkest blood

And I would have cared the way you thought no one
no one ever would
My heart is cold like stone
A rock feels no pain
No laughter
No loving
No contact

I respect these guys deeply for influencing the bands I love today.

I'm in a good place mentally, romantically, etc but this song still speaks to me like it did a decade ago deep in high school angst. "No laughter! No loving! No contact!" Shai Hulud fucking rules.

Rob Merrow

Best generation of hardcore. Miss going to shows when I was 13 😂 Still listen to it all often!

Brendan Seney

If you go to a Hulud show these days, they are still the same as they were when they started. Still passionate, still intense, still great musicians, and still a swift kick in the ass.

JoeySperz

One of the best metal songs ever produced. Their live performance is second to none.
