The song lyrics were written by the band Van Halen, as they were asked to write a song for the 1979 movie "Over the Edge" starring Matt Dillon. The movie (and the lyrics, although more obliquely) are about bored, rebellious youth with nothing better to do than get into trouble. If you see the movie, these lyrics will make more sense. It's a great movie if you grew up in the 70s/80s you'll definitely remember some of these characters from your own life. Fun fact, after writing the song, Van Halen decided not to let the movie use it.
You felt the coldness in my eyes
And it's something I'm not revealing
Though you got used to my disguise
You can't shake this awful feeling
It's the me that I let you know
'Cause I'll never show I have my reasons
I hate to say that I told you so
But I told you so, yeah
There's blood on my hands
Like the blood in you
Some things can't be treated
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
Straight from your eyes it's burying me
Beautifully so disfigured
This other side that you can't see
Just praying you won't remember
Feel the pain that I never show
And I hope you know, it's never healing
I hate to say that I told you so
But I told you so, yeah
There's blood on my hands
Like the blood in you
Some things can't be treated
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
Straight from your eyes it's burying me
Beautifully so disfigured
This other side that you can't see
Just praying you won't remember
There's blood, there's blood
There's blood, blood, blood
There's blood on my hands
Like the blood in you
Some things can't be treated
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
There's blood on my hands
(There's blood)
Like the blood in you
(There's blood)
Some things can't be treated
(There's blood)
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
There's blood
And it's something I'm not revealing
Though you got used to my disguise
You can't shake this awful feeling
It's the me that I let you know
'Cause I'll never show I have my reasons
I hate to say that I told you so
But I told you so, yeah
There's blood on my hands
Like the blood in you
Some things can't be treated
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
Straight from your eyes it's burying me
Beautifully so disfigured
This other side that you can't see
Just praying you won't remember
Feel the pain that I never show
And I hope you know, it's never healing
I hate to say that I told you so
But I told you so, yeah
There's blood on my hands
Like the blood in you
Some things can't be treated
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
Straight from your eyes it's burying me
Beautifully so disfigured
This other side that you can't see
Just praying you won't remember
There's blood, there's blood
There's blood, blood, blood
There's blood on my hands
Like the blood in you
Some things can't be treated
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
There's blood on my hands
(There's blood)
Like the blood in you
(There's blood)
Some things can't be treated
(There's blood)
So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
There's blood

I think much like another song “Anti-Matter” (that's also on the same album as this song), this one is also is inspired by a horrifying van crash the band experienced on Nov 3, 2022. This, much like the other track, sounds like it's an extension what they shared while huddled in the wreckage, as they helped frontman Garrett Russell stem the bleeding from his head wound while he was under the temporary effects of a concussion. The track speaks of where the mind goes at the most desperate & desolate of times, when it just about slips away to all but disconnect itself, and the aftermath.
Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988.
"'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it."
"There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.
These are the lyrics I have:
You felt the coldness in my eyes And something I'm not revealing Though you got used to my disguise You can't shake this awful feeling
It's the me that I let you know And I'll never show, I have my reasons I hate to say that I told you so, but I told you so
There's blood on my hands like the blood in you Somethings can't be treated So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
Straight from your eyes it's barely me Beautifully so disfigured This other side that you can't see Just praying you won't remember
Feel the pain that I never show And I hope you know it's never healing I hate to say that I told you so, but I told you so
There's blood on my hands like the blood in you Somethings can't be treated So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
Straight from your eyes it's barely me Beautifully so disfigured (There's blood) This other side that you can't see Just praying you won't remember (There's blood)
There's blood There's blood Blood, blood
There's blood on my hands like the blood in you Somethings can't be treated So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you
There's blood on my hands like the blood in you (There's blood) Somethings can't be treated (There's blood) So don't make me, don't make me be myself around you (There's blood)
There's blood
The lyrics on the new shirt and the PDF you get when you order the new shirt match it...And I hear this at the very end: Is it really that hard for you to leave?
I heard "Is it really that hard for you to bleed"
I started hearing that like a week later, hah. Sounds right.
i hear: is it really that hard for you to believe?<br /> <br /> so like when he's telling her about the blood on his hands, is it really that hard for her to believe it sorta thing. dk though
or maybe: is it really that hard for you to live? sounds like a girl's voice to me though
