Bleeds No More Lyrics

Cover art for Bleeds No More lyrics by Silverstein

The first verse is an act of self mutilation. You're cutting yourself, "sharpening the sense of pain outside". Well, if the pain on the outside is sharpened, the inside pain is becoming dulled. You're numbing yourself on the inside.

The second verse is like a continuation of the first one and it's showing how you're "killing off eveything inside". Trying not to feel. And also, you're wondering where everything went wrong. You're "trying to make sense of everything [she] tried to hide from [you]".

The chorus is the way you feel, "[Your] heart bleeds no more", because you're numb now. It's just stone. You're numbing yourself from the way "[her] stomach feels sick for someone else". You know that feeling you get when you love someone so much it hurts? Well, she doesn't feel that way for you. It's for someone else. Even when you've "broken both [your] legs falling for [her]". After all this, you can't even walk alone and you're telling her to "drag [you] on the ground like you're nothing because that's how you feel like.

The second chorus is about how you're stomach feels so "sore from cutting up". You know that feeling when you see someone you're falling over for? You're getting tired of that feeling because it's unrequited. Even when you "ruined all [your] sanctity for [her]. The pain, no matter how numb you are, hurts. So you're asking her to "smash [you] on the ground" because you know that it'll make her happy. She's sadistic enough to make your hopes rise and just drop them right in front of you. Plus, you get to perish now after all the things you went through.

You want to convince yourself that there's nothing else to do, but just die. You want to show her that she was the one that killed you, but you can't. You're too in love with her to ever hurt her like that. "The I wanted to pretend that I was you" is a little murky, but I think that it means that you saw something in the girl. Something that you wanted to become. But in the end, you're just you.

So far I have been explaining all this in a male's point of view, but it's possible to be a female in love with a man. But, this song is universal and "You're the worst thing that ever happen to me" said by a female accents this fact.

PS, the same for homosexual/lesbian people too, although you'd have to switch some of the words around from the above text.

by putting homosexual/ lesbian- are you implying that there's a difference?

holy shit man. on point. are you me? this described my situatuion perfectly.
