Didn't Know Yet What I'd Know When I Was Bleedin' Lyrics

Knelt a puppet on a string
Along the vortex weeping
Lord have you heard
The roaring dragon eat the virgin

I didn't know yet what I'd know when I was bleedin' (x2)
I seem to forget what I learned when I was fallin'
I didn't know yet what I'd know when I was bleedin'

Neon ghost in mask and coat
My heart is satellite remote
When my chemicals go wrong
Murder the devil
Take his song for my own
We sang

I didn't know yet what I'd know when I was bleedin' (x2)
I seem to forget what I learned when I was fallin'
I didn't know yet what I'd know when I was bleedin'
When I was fallin' (x3)
Was I flyin'?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

Like a lot of Dax Riggs songs this is about drugs, more than likely heroine. I thought for a moment it could be about getting murdered, another one of Dax Riggs themes. A few verses makes me lean more toward a cycle of shooting up... The puppet, vortex, bending, religious implications. Also never learning from the cycle of doing this, like saying "I wish I would learn to quit this" also the reference "when I was fallin" so the cycle has taken you down a fallin' path. OR it could reference the falling sensation getting high and maybe regretting said cycle of abuse during the high. Regret is what it all boils down to I think.

I think it's basically about learning things the hard way and making the same mistakes. Could be drugs, alcoholism, belligerence, or being to radical on a skateboard. Or getting your ass kicked. Either way awesome song. We miss you Dax.
