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.
Hello, is this thing on?
Are you listening to me?
I need roughly a million people to help
Assemble a brilliant rebel army
Take all division from religion
And just throw it out
Whatever you believe
You're welcome here
Let me tell you what it's all about
Bleed, everybody bleeds, the same as you and me
Pour and mix our lives together and flow into the streets
Are you still with me?
Am I making myself clear?
Don't get distracted by the puppet show of politicians
They put one on every single year
Take all excuses your fear produces
Line 'em up in a row.
We're gonna execute them and then salute them
Let our courage grow.
Bleed, everybody bleeds, the same as you and me
Pour and mix our lives together and flow into the streets
At the end of the day, we all share the same consequence
Nobody is immune to death or the taste of our own ignorance
All across the globe, it's deafening (everybody knows)
All existance, clear your throat and sing (everybody knows)
Bleed, everybody bleeds, the same as you and me
Pour and mix our lives together
Bleed, everybody bleeds, the same as you and me
Pour and mix our lives together and flow into the streets
(Hey)
Everybody bleed (hey)
Everybody bleed (hey)
Everybody bleed (hey)
Everybody bleed
Everybody bleed
Are you listening to me?
I need roughly a million people to help
Assemble a brilliant rebel army
Take all division from religion
And just throw it out
Whatever you believe
You're welcome here
Let me tell you what it's all about
Bleed, everybody bleeds, the same as you and me
Pour and mix our lives together and flow into the streets
Are you still with me?
Am I making myself clear?
Don't get distracted by the puppet show of politicians
They put one on every single year
Take all excuses your fear produces
Line 'em up in a row.

Bleed, everybody bleeds, the same as you and me
Pour and mix our lives together and flow into the streets
At the end of the day, we all share the same consequence

All existance, clear your throat and sing (everybody knows)
Bleed, everybody bleeds, the same as you and me

Pour and mix our lives together and flow into the streets
(Hey)
Everybody bleed (hey)
Everybody bleed (hey)
Everybody bleed (hey)
Everybody bleed
Everybody bleed

Nick's written a socially conscious song haha. Sometimes we just need a reminder that we are no better than everyone else & we don't have to buy into what the government says. It's amazing what could happen if we did all join as one. Great song.
i disagree, look at everything nick has ever written. This song doesnt follow suit with any of them. The strongest message in this song is that humankind is still human, but even this song weakly conveys that. I'm not really impressed with this album with the exception of Hush Hush. But even that sounds like to Live Without It.
So what if it doesn't follow the same, "emo," lovey-dovey label as most of his other songs? Can't a man have diversity? Can't he progress? Can't he mature? Cut him a break. I absolutely love this song. And I agree with sx_edge in a way. It's a reminder that everyone is, or rather, should be, equal to everyone else. No one is better than anyone. No matter what the government or religion or society thinks. And it is by far a weak song. I really don't understand where that came from.
*i meant it is by far NOT a weak song.
Anthony Green after @ minutes singing the (everybody knows) part... right?
Yes, definitely Anthony Green.
I agree with sx edge on the part this song is about every1 is the same noone is so much better than evey1 else
WOOOOOO!!!!! ANTHONYYYYYY!!!!!!! ahaaha this is SUCH a weird mix! My favorite band and favorite singer together!
