I Love Linkin Park and I was just listening to LPs Bleed it Out and well just read this and you may or may not argree with me...

Anyone here think this song is about being in WW1? "Here we go for the 100th time, hand grenade pins in every line" Made me think of a fight with grenades, the bit about the noose and hanging it somewhere else seems to be about wanting to die somewhere else. "Bled myself out and no one cared" He got shot and is dieing, but no one cares. "Dug the trench out laid down there, wit a shovel out of reach somewhere." WW1 was trench warfare. Dirt dance floor again made me think of a dance on dirt, or something chaotic. WW1 was in dirt and mud. The chorus "Bleeding out, digging deeper just to throw it away." seems to be about the guy digging the trench and feeling that it's all pointless. "Shotgun opera lock and load" Shotguns. Self explanatory. "I've been cursed, death is rolling in every verse" is him not wanting to die with death all around him. "God this hurts I won't lie, doesn't matter how hard I try." Is him trying to survive. "Why try ignoring him? Making the dirt dance floor again" Seems to be acceptance that he's going to blled to death in his trench, there's no way around it, so he should stop ignoring Death. "Say your prayers stomp it out" Furthere acceptance? Saying his final prayers?

The one thing I can't fit in is "I've opened up these scars, I'll make you face us!" thing. I hope my interpretaion is right, because this being a song about a sad person with bad family relationships would ruin my day. Kinda

Anyway Hope you guys liked the Intrepretation...Hey if you think it means something else just comment in this part of the journal...later
