Sum 41 – Screaming Bloody Murder Lyrics 14 years ago
I think these lines sum up the song:

Tear me open, I believe
God will set you up to bleed
And no one can deceive
What is meant to be
And 'bloody murder' we will scream

Turning to God, for Deryck, seems to be difficult. Perhaps he is saying that to believe in God will be difficult, to the point of bleeding emotionally because of the change it will require of him. But then he tells God, "tear me open". He is diving right in, and 'screaming bloody murder' as a result. He knows what must happen 'and no one can deceive what is meant to be'.

"I'm my worst enemy
Who can't be saved
I'm just His disgrace"

He seems to believe in God, and believes that God believes in him. But he feels like he keeps letting God down.

"What can I say
I'm no angel, I'm not forsaken
But I can bleed"

Deryck seems very conflicted, one moment hopeful and another self-defacing. He is willing to bleed, willing to change.

Deryck's story is so fascinating!!!
