I’m digging my way
I’m digging my way to something
I’m digging my way to something better
I’m pushing to stay
I’m pushing to stay with something
I’m pushing to stay with something better
I’m sowing the seeds
I’m sowing the seeds I’ve taken
I’m sowing the seeds I take for granted
This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I’ve planted
It tears me and I bleed
And I bleed
Caught under wheels’ roll
I take the leech, I’m bleeding me
Can’t stop to save my soul
I take the leash that’s leading me
I’m bleeding me
I can’t take it
Caught under wheels’ roll
The bleeding of me
Of me
The bleeding of me
I am the beast that feeds the feast
I am the blood, I am release
Come make me pure
Bleed me a cure
I’m caught, I’m caught, I’m caught under
Caught under wheels’ roll
I take that leech, I’m bleeding me
Can’t stop to save my soul
I take the leash that’s leading me
I’m bleeding me
I can’t take it
I can’t take it
I can’t take it
The bleeding of me
I’m digging my way
I’m digging my way to something
I’m digging my way to something better
I’m pushing to stay
I’m pushing to stay with something
I’m pushing to stay with something better
With something better
I’m digging my way to something
I’m digging my way to something better
I’m pushing to stay
I’m pushing to stay with something
I’m pushing to stay with something better
I’m sowing the seeds
I’m sowing the seeds I’ve taken
I’m sowing the seeds I take for granted
This thorn in my side
This thorn in my side is from the tree
This thorn in my side is from the tree I’ve planted
It tears me and I bleed
And I bleed
Caught under wheels’ roll
I take the leech, I’m bleeding me
Can’t stop to save my soul
I take the leash that’s leading me
I’m bleeding me
I can’t take it
Caught under wheels’ roll
The bleeding of me
Of me
The bleeding of me
I am the beast that feeds the feast
I am the blood, I am release
Come make me pure
Bleed me a cure
I’m caught, I’m caught, I’m caught under
Caught under wheels’ roll
I take that leech, I’m bleeding me
Can’t stop to save my soul
I take the leash that’s leading me
I’m bleeding me
I can’t take it
I can’t take it
I can’t take it
The bleeding of me
I’m digging my way
I’m digging my way to something
I’m digging my way to something better
I’m pushing to stay
I’m pushing to stay with something
I’m pushing to stay with something better
With something better

Another example of an intelligent and learned man takin a piece of profound classical literature and using it as a jumpin off point to convey thoughts or feelings from within himself. Ggreat tune,great band,outstanding album...
Caught under wheels roll,James is in a rut and the worlds not gonna stop 4 him.I take the leech im bleeding me,he's gonna take control and get whatever impurities he has out of his system,i need to this 2 bad theres a waiting list to go rehab maybe i wouldnt be goin to court tomoro if i was already there.Cant stop to save my soul,james is finding it hard to quit drinking/drugs.I take the leash thats leading me,he's gonna take control.I just wanna ad i love the s&m version of this,especially when james plays the first riff and the string section plays like 3 notes but its so moving,listened to it last nite and felt so sad but happy that theres such beauty in the world and im missing out on it.
Im my imagination, the singer is a person who has traveled a long path down a dark road, and something happened to change that, and now he is "digging my way" out of that hole. But the road back is never as easy as the road down, and some times deeds can only be repaid through suffering... through "the bleeding."
The first time I heard it, I misheard "caught on the wheel alone," instead of "caught under wheels roll." and that made me think of the idea of the Karmic wheel, that what we have done will come back to us, and maybe that has lead to my interpretation, however given the tone of the song it seems to still make sense to me.
