Sum 41 – Screaming Bloody Murder Lyrics 13 years ago
[I'm not quite myself these days
Guess we all come undone
Time to time, in different ways
Well, I have myself to blame
Guess I don't understand
I need help in many ways]

A hard time in his life, things are bad.

[God's got a plan for me]

This introduces us to the belief of God used for this song, namely: The God who has a plan for everyone, the God who knows all and is all powerful, the God who has everything happen for a reason.

[Well I'm gonna tell you one thing
I don't got the patience or the time]

He wants no part of God's plan for him.

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

He's not the best person, he's not the worst person. His life isn't devoid of suffering, and it isn't a living Hell. Things could be much worse, but he is suffering.

[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]

If God is all-knowing, He knows the future.
The future that God knows is what some people call fate, or destiny.

If God has a plan for every person, if all things proceed according to God's will, then everything that happens is because God desires it to.

Raped? God's plan.

Molested child? It happened for a reason.

Stabbed? Tortured to death? Skinned alive? God wrote that grisly end especially for them.

[Well I guess it's time for me
Tell me what I'm left to believe in
'Cause I don't know the concept of the pain]

In a Universe where every terrible thing that happens is God's will, what are you left to believe in?

You either have the choice of a being who, if judged by most Human standards of morality would be considered evil, or

You have a Universe with no God at all.

[don't want the faith, I'll just lose it]

How can he believe in the loving, all-powerful God with a plan that people tell him of in the face of such horrors? He can't.

[I can prove it
Watch me bleed]

How can he prove that this all-powerful God with a plan will set him up to bleed, to tear him open?
It's simple. You can't deceive what was meant to be. Watch as he suffers, watch as he bleeds. The all-powerful God's will, His plan.

['Cause I'm not giving up
No self-control]

He refuses to believe in God's plan. He's not giving up the belief that he controls his future.

[Suffocated to the bone
I'm my worst enemy
Who can't be saved
I'm just His disgrace]]

He's suffocating in his suffering, but he refuses to believe that it is God that is doing this to him. It's his doing, not God's. He refuses to be, and could never have been saved. It was not in God's plan. He was crafted to be a disgrace in God's eyes. It was his destiny.

[These days are strange, it's true
There's not a thing that I would change
No mistakes that I'd undo]

Even though things are bad, he wouldn't change the past. It's made him who he is, and brought him to where he is today.
