Everything is going downhill in his life and he feels numb (reach inside just to find my heart it beating). Self harm is also an escape for numbness, just to feel something. You tell me to hold on Oh you tell me to hold on But innocence is gone And what was right is wrong ---> He holds on to someones words, but he can't stop. 'Cause I'm bleeding out Said if the last thing that I do Is to bring you down I'll bleed out for you So I peel my skin And I count my sins And I close my eyes And I take it in And I'm bleeding out I'm bleeding out for you (for you) When the hour is nigh And hopelessness is sinking in And the wolves all cry To feel they're not worth hollering When your eyes are red And emptiness is all you know With the darkness fed I will be your scarecrow --> It happens mostly at night. And this is a nice explanation for anyone who wants to understand what goes through a depressed person's mind. "When your eyes are red" - Crying "And emptiness is all you know" - You're empty, numb, unable to feel or be happy "With the darkness fed" - Depression makes you do "sick stuff" Just my personal opinion, as someone who used to self harm and went through depression i find this song relatable, anyways, beautiful song.">
I think this song is basically about someone going through self harm who has a person close to them that is trying to help them but they fail constantly (they self harm). Or just about someone who is going through self harm because of certain pain someone has given to them.
This is how I see it: I'm bleeding out Said if the last thing that I do Is to bring you down I'll bleed out for you So I bare my skin And I count my sins And I close my eyes And I take it in And I'm bleeding out I'm bleeding out for you (for you) --> may also be a ritual for someone who self harms. "So I take the blade, remember everything I've ever done wrong, close my eyes and take the blade into my skin (cut), and I bleed" and then "I bleed because you caused me so much pain" (maybe)
When the day has come But I've lost my way around And the seasons stop and hide beneath the ground When the sky turns gray And everything is screaming I will reach inside Just to find my heart is beating ---> Everything is going downhill in his life and he feels numb (reach inside just to find my heart it beating). Self harm is also an escape for numbness, just to feel something.
You tell me to hold on Oh you tell me to hold on But innocence is gone And what was right is wrong ---> He holds on to someones words, but he can't stop.
