-Thought marked by the acceptance of gross contradictions and falsehoods, especially when used as a technique of self-indoctrination:
-"Doublethink... is a vast system of mental cheating" (George Orwell).
Frustrated with society, religion, and the human condition, doublethink takes the opposites: loud and quiet, fast and slow, positive and negative, and brings them all together into their music and their lives. The bands aggression evolves with each harsh New England winter.. and overflows with an intense and uncompromising sound.
Bloody Tears
doublethink Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your eyes tear that fake world apart.
Tears roll down your cheeks as do mine,
Outside the sun continues to shine.
And though i still believe...
That you were meant for me.
Although i cannot see,
You are the only one i love,
Obsessed is what i have become.
Each glance you give me kills my soul,
I need you in my arms to hold.
As i walk through the room of our innocence,
The way that you emptied me never made much sense.
Bloody tears of hatred, shed by me..
The opening stanza of Doublethink's song Bloody Tears speaks of a world that is not what it seems. The singer's heart is pierced by a secret world, one that is punctured by the eyes of the person they love. The intensity of their feelings is so profound that tears roll down both their cheeks. In this moment, they both find solace in the fact that the sun continues to shine, despite the turmoil they are experiencing. The singer still believes that the person was meant for them, but their tears are blinding them to reality. Despite the pain they are feeling, they cannot let go of their belief in their love.
In the second verse, the lyrics take on a more obsessive tone. The singer declares that the person they love is the only one for them, and that they have become obsessed with them. Every glance they receive from this person kills their soul, and they can only find comfort when they are in their arms. As the singer walks through the room of their innocence, they struggle to make sense of the way that their love has emptied them.
The final line of the song, "Bloody tears of hatred, shed by me," speaks to the multifaceted nature of love. The singer's obsession with their love has led them to a place of hatred, where they are consumed by their own bitterness and pain.
