Bruises

I lOVE THIS SONG... this band kicks ass, has anyone ever seen them live. i have with disturbed chevell and taproot this song was one of the best!

I think it's about how everyone has some kind of problem (or are damaged, you know what I mean). He seems to mention that he has his own problems at first, and that he's trying to heal somehow. Then, after all that, asks to "see your bruises", possibly meaning that since he's shared his stories he's hoping that this woman (well, maybe it's a women) will reciprocate or something. Okay, maybe this doesn't make sense but it's a guess, actually. I'm probably wrong but meh...it's all good.

The label they were on gave up on this band.

Great song to relieve agression; sounds like a fightin song. sounds like he's been picked on and beaten up and given sh!t by some1 ('Please leave me alone, for I have bruises left to show'). Over time this abuse has messed him up with his confidence and esteem, and up till now he's just let it pass 'the lie that i live, everything that I give'.

But now he's snapped 'STFU' and fought back. 'Come on get up, lemme see ur bruises' - he's beaten him down, and is saying get up for more, i wanna see ur bruises - sweet revenga.

Brilliant song anyway. Is the rest of Unloco any good? this is the only one I've heard

I see this as a song about internal conflict. In the beginning, he's like singing slowly and complaining. "Please, leave me alone, for I cannot let this go." But then the other side of him snaps, screaming "Shut the fuck up". The next verse follows the same format, except he doesn't scream at himself this time. Instead he challenges the whining side of him. "Come on, get up, let me see your bruises". He's like taunting himself. Obviously, he went through some tough times and he wants to show proof of how fucked up he is, but at the same time, he's attacking himself for even thinking about complaining.

i think EXACTLY the same as gummy this is the onli one ive heard n all are they any good otherwise? x
