Internal Bleeding Lyrics
[Intro]
Hmm, oh
Woah
[Chorus]
I done tried it all, tried it all, hey
Done tried it all, I can't stop this internal bleeding (Hmm)
And my heart is leaking, heart is leaking out
Tried it all, tried it all, hey
Done tried it all, I can't stop this internal bleeding (Hmm)
And my heart is leaking, heart is leaking out
Tried it all, tried it all, hey
Done tried it all, I can't stop this internal bleeding (Huh)
My heart is leaking, heart is leaking out
Tried it all, tried it all, hey
Done tried it all, I can't stop this internal bleeding
My heart is leaking
And it hurts
[Verse]
Oh, uh
Cut me down, slice me deep, I dare you
Burn my crown, spit on my grave, I’ll make you
See my face, see my face, I’ll haunt you
Deep in the dark, behind your eyes, I’m on you
Salt of the Earth, bird of the Heavens, you hear them
All in the hell, the hollowest halls, don’t fear them
Here I am, the warrior man
Here I stand, the warrior man
But I done tried it all, tried it all, hey
Done tried it all, I can’t stop this internal bleeding (Hmm)
My heart is leaking, heart is leaking out
Tried it all, tried it all, hey
Done tried it all, I can’t stop this internal bleeding (Hmm)
My heart is leaking, heart is leaking out
And it hurts me
[Outro]
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh
About
Over both a progressive and regressive instrumental, “Internal Bleeding” finds Kid Cudi articulating a state of emotional futility in the face of depression, stuck upon the notion that there’s no solution or cure for the mental suffering he metaphorically terms as being a physical affliction throughout this song.
Whilst on most fronts it can be regarded as a defeatist anthem, it also gives off the impression of Scott being resolute in standing alone as a “warrior man,” remaining optimistic amidst all that plagues him.
Conceptually, there’s a possibility that this track is referencing the abortion of a child, should the overall title structure of the EP be taken into consideration.
