Bleed Like Me Lyrics
avalanche is sullen and too thin
she starves herself to rid herself of sin and the kick is so divine when she sees bones beneath her skin and she says: hey baby can you bleed like me? cīmon baby can you bleed like me chrissie's is all dressed up and acting coy painted like a brand new christmas toy heīs trying to figure out if heīs a girl or heīs a boy and he says: hey baby can you bleed like me? cīmon baby can you bleed like me? doodle takes dadīs scissors to her skin and when she does relief comes settin' in while she hides the scars sheīs making underneath her pretty clothes she sings: hey baby can you bleed like me? cīmon baby can you bleed like me therapy is speedieīs brand new drug dancing with the devilīs past has never been too fun itīs better off than trying to take a bullet from a gun and she cries: hey baby can you bleed like me? cīmon baby can you bleed like me JT gets all fucked up in some karaoke bar after two drinks heīs a loser after three drinks heīs a star getting all nostalgic as he sings īI will surviveī hey baby can you bleed like me? cīmon baby can you bleed like me hey baby can you bleed like me? cīmon baby can you bleed like me you should see my scars you should see my scars you should see my scars you should see my scars try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend just try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend you should see my scars you should see my scars |

1) don't hate, look at all that hostility,
obviously the song was worth your time enough to come comment it
2) personally in my opinion- yeah, the song would be melodramatic and immature if the lyrics were exactly what was stated
but, i believe the overall moral of the song is how no one is perfect, we're all f'd up i one way or another,
but
it's ok.
we're human - we just want to know that there's someone else out there that can share our pain,
someone to make us feel not so alone and hopeless
because in reality, someone on this planet has been through what you're going through or something similar before, as lost as we feel now everyone has a story and it might be closer to yours than you think.
which would be a whole hell of a lot better lyrics wise than boo hoo- slit my wrists-black my eye
don't you agree?

'try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend
you should see my scars'
Just try... for a moment.. to understand what people who do that to themselves are going through.
Try to imagine being Avalanche. Imagine always feeling you're too fat. See yourself infront of the mirror. See every imperfection. very bulge. Every inch of fat. Imagine being more discusted with yourself every number the scale flicks past as you stand on the scales. Imagine feeling like eating is a sin. That the want for food is evil, and must be stopped. Imagine the thrill of finally seeing bones beneith your skin. Imagine feeling that is progress. Imagine wanting to be as slim as you can possibly manage... imagine wanting nothing more than to be beautiful... and that that means being thin. Try to understand it.
Think about what it's like being Chrissy. You're male. Or are you? You're getting all dressed up in your new frock. You're putting on make up. You look stunning. But boys aren't supposed to wear make up and dresses... but then you're not sure if you're suppossed to be a boy. You try to figure out what gender you are... but you just don't know. Think about what it's like to not know who you are. Think about everyone else's reaction to you as you walk past them in your makeup and dress. How would you feel?
What's Doodle's life like? She sees the glint of those glistening scissors in the light... the smooth metal.. calling to her. She's overtaken by the need to doodle. To pick up those pretty scissors and see the blood flow through her skin... The blood always looks so pretty... she can't take her eyes off the scissors. She needs to see the blood again... She craves it. The urge is to great to resist them. Imagine NEEDING to slice yourself open. Not being able to resist the pull of it. Imagine the relief flooding through you when you finaly slice into yourself. The sharp points sliding through your skin. Only being able to be calmed by blood trickling out of you. It's so pretty... you hide it beneath your pretty clothes and go on with your life. Think about what's it like to need to cut yourself.
Speedie... she's getting help. She's going to therapy. She's been through the drug usage, and knows it's no fun. She's tried to kill herself... but she's in therapy now.
At least sympathise with JT. He feels like a loser. But it's fun to get drunk.. You're everybody's friend. You don't know where you are... just some karaoke bar. But that doesn't matter. Because here... you're a star. Every drink and you're loved more.... but then where do you think this will lead him?
Try to understand it. Try to comprehend it.
Just try to comprehend that which you'll never comprehend.

Before you call me emo or anything.. I've not been through any of these myself... but i've had friends that have been through Doodle and Avalanche's issues... and so i have spent time talking to people with those issues... and it gives you insight into it. To talk to the people who've been through, or are going through these things helps you understand them... 'Seeing their scars' helps you comprehend the BS they're going through.

i really like how every situation is different...and comes from a different point of view, but the outcome/consequences are the same. No matter what is happening, we all feel pain.

Really, I can and HAVE bled like most of these people. I don't think it makes me particularly cool. And I'd rather people NOT see my scars, thanks.

Avalanche=anorexic
Chrissie=cofused about his gender identity
Doodle=cutter
Speedie=addicted to therapy (Like in Fight Club, the main character is addicted to group therapies)
JT=alcoholic
I don't know if these are all right, but that's what I got out of it. By saying, "Can you bleed like me?" they're asking us if they can feel their pain. And all these people all have that emotional pain that no one can really understand if they've never experienced things like that. That might sound like, really gay, but I think it's a really good song. Like rhcpf12 said, this song is about compassion.
