What does the song bleed it out from Linkin Park mean?

Answer 1

In the description the guys gave Mike says he had to re-write this song like a hundred times, which shows its relationship with the 1st line "Here we go for the hundreth time"

The whole noose part is about the guys rejecting what he had written and is making him re-write it. Making him go crazy time after time.

And the bleed it out is him having to, figuratively, bleed out ideas to come up with a new version of the song.

I agree completely. I like the song though. It has a good headbanging beat

Answer 2

It-basically is a song made for fun. It doesn't have a big meaning.

Is that Chester wants to get rid of his wounds he wants to bleed them out...

This song seems to have a double meaning. I think it's either about how everything from news and music and movies are flooded with violence and death. And how we can't escape the dangers of the world and nothing will make a difference

Answer 3

It's about writing and rewriting lyrics, contrary to the popular belief of it being about self-mutilation. "I bleed it out, digging deeper just to throw it away" is showing taking an idea, trying to write it out in detail, then scrapping it, as has happened to the band numerous times. Also, "Half the words don't mean a thing and I know I won't be satisfied" easily shows this.
