Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything don't need to be the same
Feel, I'm feelin' lonely people
People just like me who go it alone
I guess I'm gonna go it alone
Now I live my life (woo-ooh-ooh)
Remote controllin' my destiny
I can bleed when I want to bleed
So come on, come on (woo-ooh-ooh)
You can bleed when you want to bleed
Want to bleed
Bleeding
Bleeding
Hey, look around today
Everything don't need to be the same
Feel, feelin' lonely people
People just like me who go it alone
'Cause baby I'm a rolling stone
I live my life (woo-ooh-ooh)
With no control in my destiny
Yea-yeah, yea-yeah (woo-ooh-ooh)
I can bleed when I want to bleed
So come on, come on (woo-ooh-ooh)
You can bleed when you want to bleed
Yea-yeah, come on (woo-ooh-ooh)
Everybody bleed when they want to bleed
Come on and bleed
Yea-yeah, yea-yeah (woo-ooh-ooh)
I can bleed when I want to bleed
Come on, come on (woo-ooh-ooh)
You can bleed when you want to bleed
Yea-yeah, come on (woo-ooh-ooh)
Everybody bleed when they want to bleed
'Cause I can bleed when I want to bleed
You can bleed when you want to bleed
The lyrics to Urge Overkill's song "Positive Bleeding" speak to the human desire for individuality and the realization that we have control over our own lives. The first two lines of the song, "Hey, look around today, Everything don't need to be the same," set the tone for the rest of the song, which encourages the listener to break free from the traditional norms that society has set and to live life on their own terms. The singer then describes feeling lonely but recognizing that there are others like him who go it alone, declaring "Cause baby I'm a rolling stone," indicating that he is someone who does not conform and is comfortable with that.
The chorus of the song is a powerful call to action, with the lines "I can bleed when I want to bleed, So come on, come on, You can bleed when you want to bleed." This is a metaphor for being true to oneself and living life authentically, even when it means going against the grain. The repetition of the phrase "come on" further emphasizes the message of the song and encourages the listener to join in and be courageous as they take control of their own lives.
"Positive Bleeding" has been interpreted by many to be a song about rebellion and self-empowerment, and it has resonated with listeners for decades. It is not just a call to action, but a celebration of individuality and a reminder that we all have the power to live according to our own values and beliefs.
