Bleed Lyrics

[Verse 1: Malcolm Todd]
Get around, talk about me
You pretend when you can’t be
Who you want, who you want, ah
Got a script you can erase
Got a mask glued to your face
Take it off, take it off

[Chorus: Malcolm Todd]
Do you wanna know
Know, know about me?
I swear, you can take control
Control of how my heart bleeds

[Post-Chorus: Malcolm Todd]
How my heart bleeds
How my heart bleeds

[Verse 2: Omar Apollo & Malcolm Todd]
Feel (Feel) it
(Okay, okay, okay) You’ve gotta relax
(Okay, okay, okay, uh-huh) Baby
Put your hands (Hands, hands) around my ribcage (Oh, ‘cage)
We can dance (Okay, dance) until we hit the grave (Grave)
Sociopath (Sociopath), after the math
I know you wanna see what’s under
Our souls are a match
You’re first, but you’re last
And do you really wanna know?

[Chorus: Malcolm Todd & Omar Apollo]
Do you wanna know? (Wanna know)
Know, know about me? (‘Bout me, ’bout me, about me)
I swear, you can take control (Take control)
Control of how my heart bleeds

[Post-Chorus: Malcolm Todd & Omar Apollo]
How my heart bleeds (Bleeds)
How my heart bleeds (How my heart)
How my heart bleeds (How my heart)
How my heart bleeds
How my heart bleeds (Heart bleeds)
How my heart bleeds (How my heart, heart bleeds)
How my heart bleeds (Bleeds)
How my heart bleeds
How my heart bleeds

[Outro: Malcolm Todd]
Bleeds
Heart bleeds
Heart bleeds, bleeds

Bleed Meaning

[Verse 1: Malcolm Todd]
Malcolm Todd opens the song by addressing someone who hides behind a false persona, pretending to be someone they’re not. He calls out the artificiality of this act, urging them to remove the metaphorical mask they wear. The verse hints at themes of self-deception and societal pressure, questioning the need for pretense when honesty could lead to something more genuine.

[Chorus: Malcolm Todd]
The chorus acts as the emotional core of the song, expressing both a challenge and an invitation. Todd asks if the listener truly wants to know him, implying that real connection requires vulnerability. The idea of “taking control of how my heart bleeds” suggests a paradox—giving someone the power to hurt you while still seeking closeness and understanding. The repetition reinforces the weight of this emotional risk.

[Post-Chorus: Malcolm Todd]
The post-chorus echoes the heartache and intensity of the song’s message. By repeating the phrase “how my heart bleeds,” Todd emphasizes the emotional turmoil at play. It’s a raw and lingering moment that underscores the pain of surrendering one’s emotions to another.

[Verse 2: Omar Apollo & Malcolm Todd]
Omar Apollo enters with a sensual yet eerie verse, adding a layer of intimacy and tension. His lines describe a physical closeness that contrasts with the underlying emotional conflict. The imagery of hands around the ribcage and dancing until the grave suggests a passionate but possibly doomed connection. The phrase “our souls are a match” acknowledges a deep bond, yet the conflicting idea of being both “first and last” hints at an inevitable end. The verse ends with the lingering question of whether the other person truly wants to know what lies beneath the surface.

[Chorus: Malcolm Todd & Omar Apollo]
As both artists join forces in the chorus, the intensity of the plea grows. The dual vocals emphasize the shared experience of vulnerability, reinforcing the song’s central theme. By repeating the phrase “take control,” the lyrics suggest both a longing for connection and an acknowledgment of the power imbalance in relationships.

[Post-Chorus: Malcolm Todd & Omar Apollo]
The repetition of “how my heart bleeds” takes on a haunting quality as both voices intertwine. It reflects the rawness of their emotions, driving home the idea of love and vulnerability as something painful yet inescapable.

[Outro: Malcolm Todd]
The song closes with Malcolm Todd softly repeating “bleeds” and “heart bleeds,” leaving the listener with a lingering sense of longing and emotional exposure. The stripped-down ending reinforces the song’s overarching theme—giving someone control over your emotions is both beautiful and devastating.
