System Shock Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Caressing the trigger of a gun
Red lights breaking the shadows of night
It's just a fire I've started
And scince we'll vanish without a fight
I'm going first
So dark, so empty
So dark, so pretty
I die away from earth
Now I leave the endless night
My soul will fly to the light
Where I can dream no more
So I'm bleeding
Time was always running short
Grasping the vanity of though
I'll abolish time and space
And set my soul out of this space
It's just a fire I've started
And since we'll vanish without a fight
I'm going first
So dark, so empty
I cross the line of death
So dark, so pretty
I die away from earth
Now I leave the endless night
My soul will fly to the light
Where I can dream no more
So I'm bleeding
The lyrics of System Shock's song "Bleed" seem to be about someone who has made the decision to end their life. The first two lines suggest that the singer has always had a fascination with guns, and may have contemplated suicide before. The "red lights breaking the shadows of night" could be referring to flashing police lights, indicating that the singer may have been involved in a criminal activity that led to his decision to end his life.
The singer then talks about "crossing the line of death" and dying "away from earth." This could be interpreted as a person who has decided to commit suicide, and is now describing the feeling of dying. The lines "I'll abolish time and space and set my soul out of this space" suggest that the singer is in a very dark place emotionally and may feel trapped.
In the final verse, the singer talks about leaving the "endless night" and flying to the light, indicating some belief in an afterlife or a form of transcendence. Overall, these lyrics suggest that the singer has made a serious decision to end their life due to some personal turmoil or trauma.
Line by Line Meaning
I have always been the one
I've always been the one in control, the one with the power
Caressing the trigger of a gun
Comfortable with violence and willing to use it to achieve my goals
Red lights breaking the shadows of night
The chaos and destruction I cause cannot be ignored; it disrupts the peace and darkness of night
It's just a fire I've started
I am responsible for the violence and destruction happening now
And since we'll vanish without a fight
We can't avoid our end, but it's better to go out fighting instead of just waiting for it to happen
I'm going first
I'm taking control and leading the charge into danger
So dark, so empty
The world is bleak and without meaning to me
I cross the line of death
I am willing to face death and cross the threshold without fear
So dark, so pretty
Death has a certain elegance to it in my eyes
I die away from earth
Death is a release from the physical world that I am eager to embrace
Now I leave the endless night
Ending my existence brings an end to a life of darkness and torment
My soul will fly to the light
I hope for an afterlife where there is peace and happiness, rather than darkness
Where I can dream no more
I hope to find release from the constant nightmares and pain of life
So I'm bleeding
I am shedding my mortal coil and embracing death, letting go of my past and all my sins
