Bleed Well Lyrics
You had demons to kill within you screaming
With a gun loaded with guilt you opened their eyes
Love preys the living and praises the dead
In the heart of our hearts by death we were wed
Bleed well the soul you’re about to sell for passion deranged
Kiss and tell, baby we’re bleeding well
Bleed well the heart you’re about to fail for reasons insane
Kill and tell, baby we’re bleeding well…
…In hell
“No love lost under her will”, I heard you weeping
And on those words a church was built to keep the pain in
If death is the answer to love’s mysteries
Then bleed on my darling to the sound of a dream
With a gun loaded with guilt you opened their eyes
In the heart of our hearts by death we were wed
Kiss and tell, baby we’re bleeding well
Bleed well the heart you’re about to fail for reasons insane
Kill and tell, baby we’re bleeding well…
…In hell
And on those words a church was built to keep the pain in
Then bleed on my darling to the sound of a dream

ah, @ last.. good old HIM again.. =)
Such a beautiful song... Pretty obvious what it's about. Everybody loves somebody enough to be willing to die for them.
this song is fucking amazing.
don't get me wrong, i'm in love with everything HIM has ever done, but i'm so glad to hear their old sound coming back. on some of the tracks, at least.
and ville still has his amazing writing talents. :D
I agree with LLL4UR3N...!!!
i looked at the lyrics to this song when i picked up Venus Doom, and i was in absolute awe of the first two lines. my jaw literally dropped
I disagree with LL4UR3N [No offense x)] I have to say their new album is nothing like their old stuff. DarkLight was a big disappointment. I've always loved HIM, but in later years I've thought, "Why the hell do you use those high vocals everywhere, when you really, really don't need to?!"
This is the best album since Razorblade Romance. Really, saw them live this summer. Lots of sound problems. But God, how beautiful
Couldn't disagree more--I love the fact that an established band was willing to take risks. Far too many bands cynically try to play it safe to keep making money. Real artists will try different things--including sing high note all over the place. This is one of the main reasons why I will fork over money to see them in concert every album release--and why I Will buy a CD of music note unheard--they are geniuses and they are always surprising me. Love every CD for different reasons.

There are definetly moments where you can start to hear the raw GLSV666 sound start to bite through, but its just too polished for that kind of sound. Main complaint is that Song or Suicide isn't long enough. That song would have been epic.
I'd say this song is about betrayal.
Like, the girl who he sings it to is about to betray her bf: kiss and tell - she's doing it just to 'kill the demons within her' kill and tell - she's going to hurt her bf by doing that, she will fail both his and her own heart, but her passion is deranged, she cannot control it, so she will regret it later, but it will be too late, her soul will already be sold.
This is how I get it, please feel welcome not to agree;)
I agree--and take it up a notch to, Ville is also convicting himself of this treason cause he says "We're bleeding well in hell" It may not even be sexual betrayal per se--not sure what it is referencing, but he goes along for the ride and feels guilt for it as well.

i totally agree dark light was allright but it wasnt the best but VENUS DOOM is probably one of their best albums to date i love it & this is my favorite song on the album
I look at their albums this way--each one has a different feel and tone --different mood. I am so glad they don't try to bring the same ole same ole every CD. I love them all--even Screamworks.

I totally agree with taniusha, and I think that the girl he sings about has lusts, and no matter how much she loves her bf and she feels guitly about it afterwards she has to do what her "demons"/sinfull lusts tell her.
"No love lost under her will" I think it means that she doesn't wanna loose her boyfriend even though she's cheating on him. He doesn't wanna be with her anymore though...
well, that's my opinion, and ppl, what does the word "church" mean in this song? I mean, does he wanna understand her and pretends that he thinks it's okay so that she will hold her tears in?
"If death is the answer to love’s mysteries Then bleed on my darling to the sound of a dream "
what does this mean?
I think there is an indication that it may not be literal "lusts" he is referencing but a different kind of betrayal--but I could be wrong.
