Bleed It Dry Lyrics

Oceans rise, summits fall
Fading fast it won’t be long
Everything will be consumed, rendered lost
At the hands of fools tomorrow’s gone
So say goodbye

(chorus)
Bleed it dry, leave us here with nothing
Justify all that you consume
Bleed it dry, what is this becoming?
All your lies serve no one but you

Blood machines burn the skies
Turning day into night
Everything will fade to dust again, weak or strong
So don’t pretend you’ve done no wrong
Cause you know that I’m right

(chorus)

One day you will see what you’ve done
The world you chose to bleed will be dead and gone

(chorus x 2

this is about war

This song talks about all that unconcious people that just CONSUMES and doesn't care about the future of the world.

My Interpretation
Cover art for Bleed It Dry lyrics by Alter Bridge

It's hard not to see that this is about climate change. It already starts with "Oceans rise"! I like the phrase "Justify all that you consume". It adds a non-radical point of view, that must convince people that caring for the world of the future doesn't mean that there are only hard rules to follow. It asks us to be aware of what we are doing. And when we judge that the benefit of what we are about to do is worth the small damage it causes, then it's okay. The pleasure of a 2 day city trip by plane for example, is something that we cannot explain to our descendants. Not yet, with today's technology.
