What the real meaning is, I have no idea... and I'm not here to debate it. I'm here to share. To me, it's about an affair: This guy calls up this girl in the middle of the night. For whatever reason, he wants to see her, and he's drawn to her like a moth to a flame. He knows she's trouble, and that he's just going to get burned -- but like an addict, he can't stop himself. He's in too deep. He can't sleep at night. There's too many secrets for him to keep, and he's torn. He reminds himself that he was the one who got himself into this situation, and no one can help him out. He's overwhelmed. But mostly, he just feels trapped, out of control, and headed in the wrong direction. As far as love is concerned; he's jaded and unsure of whether or not he believes in it anymore. He'd like to... but it's not so simple. He feels like he needs to make a decision, but until he decides, he's stuck in the middle of nowhere. He bought a one way ticket out, but running away won't solve anything... and he knows it. |

I think this song is about a lost chance. "You bleed for me And I didn't get to notice you Now I'm stuck out of line Bleed for me I didn't get to be with you Now you're stuck in my mind" The guy didn't notice the girl until she was gone, and now she's stuck in his mind. He realizes that she's the one love in his life, and begs for a chance with her. "Oh won't you bleed for me?" is almost like asking "Oh won't you feel some pain for me?" (The interesting thing about blood is that it's what gives life.) But unfortunately, times have changed, and she doesn't feel the same. When he says he's "stuck out of line", he's reffering to his love. His love for her is out of line. This song is a bit confusing/vague, and I never really could grasp meaning from it, but when I finally did, it just clicked. Events that happened in my life helped me to draw meaning, and that meaning helped me to understand my life as well. I love songs that do that. |
