What's incredible about this song (and Lily as an artist) is that she tackles such a personal and emotional issue, but does it in this incredibly catchy, hooky way. She's amazing. And addicting! |

| Linkin Park – Bleed It Out Lyrics
| 17 years ago

For some reason, I actually think this song is a self satire of their own lyrics on previous albums.
"and here we go for the hundredth time"
- A jab at repetitiveness?
"grind myself out and no one cares"
-They express their emotions on their songs and yet critics don't seem to respect them?
"I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away"
- Translation: I put my life in my lyrics, digging deeper, but it's useless?
"doesn't matter how hard I try, half the words don't mean a thing, and I know that I won't be satisfied"
- A similar line ("doesn't even matter how hard you try") from In The End, everything I've written doesn't mean a thing, and I'll never be satisfied? |

I'm surprised no one has commented yet. This song is genius. Each story has a lot of meaning and a lot to say. Mike's flow in his story is insane and the third verse tells a beautifully tragic story in a little space opera cover. Genius. |

This is the most ballsy song on the album. Rumor has it that Mike got into an argument with Jay over having the track on the final album. Good thing Mike won the argument. It's a great song, although it does feel a little out of place. |

I like this song, but I don't know... it just isn't one of my favorites on the album. Holly Brook sounds like an angel, but Mike's lyrics are at their weakest (in my opinion) on this track. Kind of genric. And this is coming from a big fan of Mike's lyricism. |

Lyrically, this song is probably number one on The Rising Tied in terms of being just so well thought out. The metaphor is brilliant and the song is nice and dark as L-Kyne said. |

The beat is insane. This is a good song to release an album with, but I think if they want to really show what Fort Minor is all about they need to release "Right Now" or "High Road" as a single. |

Okay, "The Infer Theory". Mike uses the word in the right context, so let's end that discussion.
The line:
"Oh / did I lose you at “infer?”
Not used to hearing a verse that uses over first-grade vocabulary words?" is absolutely genius.
This line really relates to the earlier track "Cigarettes" in which he discusses the retardation of mainstream radio hip hop and how most of it is total BS and child-like.
As far as this track as a whole, it does exactly what it should have done; it leads perfectly into "High Road". I think that after he says, "Bitch" the song should have ended and cut into "High Road", but he's the artist. |

Corrections: "My life's LIKE trying to swallow a pine cone".
"Just pretend you don't feel so ALONE.".
I love the flow of this song. Mike's verse is really crisp, but Ryu's is the illest for me. |

The first verse brings to mind how a celebrity comes home to his old friends and his old neighborhood and everybody is different; everybody has changed and doesn't treat him the same. |

Mike Shinoda said this song was inspired by Robert Altman's film "Short Cuts". It's poetry to me. A thing of beauty and one of the most meaningful and poignant songs on The Rising Tied |
