Bleeding Hearts Shed No Tears

Atreyu

After all that has transpired
After all that's taken place
After all the stab wounds
And just before my death
I rise phoenix-like anew
From the still burning ash
Of false hearts' lies
To fly once again
To shine from within

Dismember myself
Sever thy veins
Poison myself
A heartless joke
Slash at my neck
Gouge out my eyes
Screaming in agony
You pacify my

Bleeding hearts
Shed no tears
Bleeding hearts
Shed no tears

Soaked all the way through
With remorse and regret
Fire to purify my soul
And blood to replenish it
I search in hopes of completion
To justify my love for you
Nothing ever ends
Where our souls begin

Nothing can save
Me from myself
You keep me safe
Resurrecting my love
An angel like you
Can never fall
Heaven I found
Right in my arms

Bleeding hearts
Shed no tears
Bleeding hearts
Shed no tears

I found love in you
I find truth in you
I see light in you
And it horrifies me
I found love in you
I find truth in you
I see light in you
And it horrifies me
I found love in you
I find truth in you
I see light in you
And it horrifies me

After all that has transpired
After all that's taken place
After all the stab wounds
And just before my death
I rise phoenix-like anew
From the still burning ash
Of false hearts' lies
To fly once again
To shine from within

Dismember myself
Sever thy veins
Poison myself
A heartless joke
Slash at my neck
Gouge out my eyes
Screaming in agony
You pacify my

Bleeding hearts
Shed no tears
Bleeding hearts
Shed no tears
Bleeding hearts
Shed no tears
Bleeding hearts
Shed no tears

    To me, Alex sounds agonised in this song, matching perfectly to the lyrics. "After all thats transpired, thats taken place, after all the stab wounds and just before my death." The person has gone through hell and is finally ready to finish, until his spirits are lifted up from his dying past "to shine from within". But again, he sabotages himself to the breaking point again until the one he learns to love comes to rescue him from his demise. It sounds a little like self-harm in my opinion, as though he has to punish himself for what he feels he has failed at. Although he loves this person, he seems to have a difficult time in showing them and may be confused how to demonstrate affection or appreciation for another being. Regardless, he is certain they are meant for eachother and nothing can come between them. "Nothing can save me from myself. You keep me safe resurrecting my love. An angel like you can never fall, heaven I found right in my arms". These lyrics show that he is able to see beauty in life, in the form of this person, and although he is sure he cant be saved from his own self, she can keep him safe for now. To him, she is perfect, and has given him a haven to rest. "I found love in you, I find truth in you, I see light in you and it horrifies me." This sounds like he realises there is an amazing person in his life that he wants to live for, but this terrifies him because he is so used to self-destruction and hasnt experienced happiness before, thus being a frightening aspect. An amazing song, with alot of feeling.

Cajun Girl
Little Feat
Overall about difficult moments of disappointment and vulnerability. Having hope and longing, while remaining optimistic for the future. Encourages the belief that with each new morning there is a chance for things to improve. The chorus offers a glimmer of optimism and a chance at a resolution and redemption in the future. Captures the rollercoaster of emotions of feeling lost while loving someone who is not there for you, feeling let down and abandoned while waiting for a lover. Lost with no direction, "Now I'm up in the air with the rain in my hair, Nowhere to go, I can go anywhere" The bridge shows signs of longing and a plea for companionship. The Lyrics express a desire for authentic connection and the importance of Loving someone just as they are. "Just in passing, I'm not asking. That you be anyone but you”

Mountain Song
Jane's Addiction
Jane's Addiction vocalist Perry Farrell gives Adam Reader some heartfelt insight into Jane’s Addiction's hard rock manifesto "Mountain Song", which was the second single from their revolutionary album Nothing's Shocking. Mountain song was first recorded in 1986 and appeared on the soundtrack to the film Dudes starring Jon Cryer. The version on Nothing's Shocking was re-recorded in 1988. "'Mountain Song' was actually about... I hate to say it but... drugs. Climbing this mountain and getting as high as you can, and then coming down that mountain," reveals Farrell. "What it feels to descend from the mountain top... not easy at all. The ascension is tough but exhilarating. Getting down is... it's a real bummer. Drugs is not for everybody obviously. For me, I wanted to experience the heights, and the lows come along with it." "There's a part - 'Cash in now honey, cash in Miss Smith.' Miss Smith is my Mother; our last name was Smith. Cashing in when she cashed in her life. So... she decided that, to her... at that time, she was desperate. Life wasn't worth it for her, that was her opinion. Some people think, never take your life, and some people find that their life isn't worth living. She was in love with my Dad, and my Dad was not faithful to her, and it broke her heart. She was very desperate and she did something that I know she regrets."

No Surprises
Radiohead
Same ideas expressed in Fitter, Happier are expressed in this song. We're told to strive for some sort of ideal life, which includes getting a good job, being kind to everyone, finding a partner, getting married, having a couple kids, living in a quiet neighborhood in a nice big house, etc. But in Fitter, Happier the narrator(?) realizes that it's incredibly robotic to live this life. People are being used by those in power "like a pig in a cage on antibiotics"--being pacified with things like new phones and cool gadgets and houses while being sucked dry. On No Surprises, the narrator is realizing how this life is killing him slowly. In the video, his helmet is slowly filling up with water, drowning him. But he's so complacent with it. This is a good summary of the song. This boring, "perfect" life foisted upon us by some higher powers (not spiritual, but political, economic, etc. politicians and businessmen, perhaps) is not the way to live. But there is seemingly no way out but death. He'd rather die peacefully right now than live in this cage. While our lives are often shielded, we're in our own protective bubbles, or protective helmets like the one Thom wears, if we look a little harder we can see all the corruption, lies, manipulation, etc. that is going on in the world, often run by huge yet nearly invisible organizations, corporations, and 'leaders'. It's a very hopeless song because it reflects real life.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
