We Must Bleed

The Germs

It's Sunday and the streets aren't clear
The traffic's screaming
But we can't hear
The sounds, the metals
Driving us mad
The sounds, the metals
Driving us mad
The sounds, the metals
Driving us mad
The sounds, the metals
Driving us mad
We must bleed, we must bleed
We must bleed, we must bleed

The crash as the bottle breaks
Flashes it will through my veins
The pain, the colors
Making me sane
The pain, the colors
Making me sane
The pain, the colors
Making me sane
The pain, the colors
Making me sane
We must bleed, we must bleed
We must bleed, we must bleed

Nightfan and it feels so right
Somethin scorchin' better to fight
Touch me and I'll cut you on sight
Touch me and I'll cut you on sight
Touch me and I'll cut you on sight
Touch me and I'll cut you on sight
We must bleed, we must bleed
we must bleed, we must bleed

I'm not one I'm two
I'm not one I'm two
I'm not one I'm two
I'm not one I'm two
I'm not one I'm two

I want out now
I want out now
I want out now
I want out now
I want out now
I want out now
I want out now
I want out now, now, now, now

    I think the song is targeting a lot of things. But mainly, I think Darby is talking about his idea of a revolution. His 'Circle One' cult fulfilling his Dictator fantasy, like in they lyric 'I am not one, I am two' referring to his cult/followers.

    And the lyric 'I want out now' referring to his plan to go out in his prime. When his revolution pans out and he fulfills his plan, he'll kill himself.

    Also, the chorus 'We Must Bleed' is referring to how blood must be shed for the revolution to work.

    But that's just what I think.

Son Şansın - Şarkı Sözleri
Hayalperest
This song seemingly tackles the methods of deception those who manipulate others use to get victims to follow their demands, as well as diverting attention away from important issues. They'll also use it as a means to convince people to hate or kill others by pretending acts of terrorism were committed by the enemy when the acts themselves were done by the masters of control to promote discrimination and hate. It also reinforces the idea that these manipulative forces operate in various locations, infiltrating everyday life without detection, and propagate any and everywhere. In general, it highlights the danger of hidden agendas, manipulation, and distraction, serving as a critique of those who exploit chaos and confusion to control and gain power, depicting a cautionary tale against falling into their traps. It encourages us to question the narratives presented to us and remain vigilant against manipulation in various parts of society.

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”

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
