You Make Me Wanna Drink Bleach Lyrics
so you're sad
and you're right
kill yourself
if you like
cos it sucks
so do i
see your day
crawling by
and you know
when you're just
hanging on
that's enough
and if it helps
carry on
be content
you don't belong
oh i know...
you make me want to drink bleach
you make me want to bite stars
though you're losing yourself
still i know who you are
it's a beautiful pain
as the sun in my eyes
and i want to drink bleach
to let me feel i'm alive
i'm so sorry
little one
you know i said
i'd protect you from
the evil world
that you despise
cos it sucks
so do i
and you know
when you're just
hanging on
that's enough
and if it helps
carry on
be content
you don't belong
so how does it feel
to choke on happy
drown in joy
choke on happy
drown in...
oh and i want to drink bleach
and you're right
kill yourself
if you like
so do i
see your day
crawling by
when you're just
hanging on
that's enough
carry on
be content
you don't belong
you make me want to bite stars
though you're losing yourself
still i know who you are
as the sun in my eyes
and i want to drink bleach
to let me feel i'm alive
little one
you know i said
i'd protect you from
that you despise
cos it sucks
so do i
when you're just
hanging on
that's enough
carry on
be content
you don't belong
to choke on happy
drown in joy
drown in...
oh and i want to drink bleach

reminds me of the lightning seeds
The censors made them change the title to Bleach for the re-release... Ok, what nutjob is going to drink bleach because of a metaphor in a song? If they did you could hardly blame the band now, could you? But then it's fine for videos full f nearly naked women to be aired at 2 in the afternoon... ok, rant over.
I saw them perform this song at middlesbrough music live and it was really cool. They are a good band!
i think the scream of "you make me want to drink bleach" at the start of the song just makes you not want to take the rest of it seriously, although there are some really deep lyrics though like "it's a beautiful pain as the sun in my eyes"
good stuff
this song is so beautiful... all the lines about pain and suicide... yet theyre so happy... theyre painfully happy... and even though they know the worlds a state and its awful, theyre going through it together... and ther suicidal pains are just happiness pains... i dno whatever it is i relate to it in a lot of ways... the lines about the evil world and the way the person ther talking about depises it, yet ther still content in ther own life to carry on... its a bit like that for me, i h8 the state of the world, the way we'cve ruined it, yet im happy and i like my own life... its just beautiful
i think hes saying even tho they sometimes can't stand life, thats the only way they'll get thru it is if they stick together, hate it together
Yeah I agree. It's not the actual meaning of it obviously but It makes me think of really pathetic half-assed emos who tell everybody there gunna kill themselves cuz everythings so bad. get over yourself- lol I used to try and comfort them but they do it for attenion so now I just say- "oh cool. how ya gunna do it?"....
This song is actually about trying to purify yourself and not about self harm.
