SBM lyrics

I listened very carefully to Screaming Bloody Murder (the single) and got all the lyrics (wasn't hard at all)


I’m not quite myself these days
Guess we all come undone
Time to time, in different ways
Well, I have myself to blame
Guess I don’t understand
I need help in many ways

God’s got a plan for me
Well I’m gonna tell you one thing
I don’t got the patience or the time
What can I say
I’m no angel, I’m not forsaken
But I can bleed

Tear me open, I believe
God will set you up to bleed
And no one can deceive
What is meant to be
And ‘bloody murder’ we will scream

Well I guess it’s time for me
Tell me what I’m left to believe in
‘Cause I don’t know the concept of the pain
I don’t want the faith, I’ll just lose it
I can prove it
Watch me bleed

Tear me open, I believe
God will set you up to bleed
And no one can deceive
What is meant to be
And ‘bloody murder’ we will scream
God will set you up to tear me open

‘Cause I’m not giving up
No self-control
Suffocated to the bone
I’m my worst enemy
Who can’t be saved
I’m just His disgrace

Tear me open, I believe
God will set you up to bleed
And no one can deceive
What is meant to be
And ‘bloody murder’ we will scream
God will set you up to tear me open

These days are strange, it’s true
There’s not a thing that I would change
No mistakes that I’d undo

Look, over here.
Not much difference, but I think "Will self control" and "Suffocate it to the bone" makes more sense.

I listened again and I can really hear "No self-control". The other line I'm unsure of, but I changed it in my version anyway because I thought it made more sense, haha.

Okay now I hear it too, haha. So I guess it's just one of those unnecessary double negatives like "I ain't giving you nothing!"

The other line could be both and it sounds too similar to tell. It's either about himself being suffocated or suffocate those feelings.

Here are my lyrics:

I'm not quite myself these days,
Guess we all come undone,
Time to time in different ways,
Well, I have myself to blame,
Guess I don't understand,
I need help in many ways.

God's got a plan for me,
Well, I'm gonna tell you one thing,
I don't got the patience or the time,
What can I say? I'm no angel,
I'm not forsaken,
But I can bleed!

Chorus:
Tear me open, I believe,
God will set you up to bleed,
And no one can deceive,
What is meant to be and,
Bloody murder we will scream!

Well, I guess it's time for me,
Tell me what I'm left to believe in,
'Cause I don't know the concept of the pain,
I don't want the faith,
I'll just lose it, I can prove it,
Watch me bleed!

[Chorus]
God will set you up to,
Tear me open!

'Cause I'm not giving up,
No self-control,
Suffocated to the bone,
I'm my worst enemy,
Who can't be saved,
I'm just his disgrace!

[Chorus]
God will set you up to,
Tear me open!

These days are strange it's true,
There's not a thing that I would change,
No mistakes that I'd undo.

I would just like to point out that the beginning is

I'm not quite myself these days
Guess we all come undone
From time to time in different ways

Just a small word, but it's there

I don't think so, I've listened to it very closely and I'm pretty sure there is nothing inbetween "undone" and "time", not even a breathing noise or anything like a syllable, although it would make sense.

But I noticed something else: It might be "fate" it instead of "faith" in the second verse.

Okay yes I do take back what I said, I've got some very nice headphones, and I just listened to that part very loud as well. And I also agree that 'faith' sounds like 'fate' but I don't see how that would make sense.

there is so many ways to understand the lyrics ...I personally think that all the opinions which been said may be true ...and my opinion is that Deryck kinda says that he's done some mistakes that God would consider as sins and Deryck doesn't want to change these mistakes,even though God is not okay with his behaving ...

but I fucking don't get all this shit .. XD I thought Deryck was an atheist ...and he

I will try to analyze it little by little. This might be a bit geeky, but I kind of enjoyed those song analysis assignments in English class. :silly: I hope this comes out as an understandable read because my head is spinning with a lot of ideas, haha!
I'm not quite myself these days,
Guess we all come undone,
Time to time in different ways,
Well, I have myself to blame,
Guess I don't understand,
I need help in many ways.
Pretty self-explanatory. He doesn't feel like he used to and admits that it's his fault he is in the situation he's in now. Just by going with what we already know (his divorce amongst other things) the situation is a shitty one.
God's got a plan for me,
Well, I'm gonna tell you one thing,
I don't got the patience or the time,
What can I say? I'm no angel,
I'm not forsaken,
But I can bleed!
I think in here Deryck is saying that the shitty situation he is in right now is part of God's plan and, of course, he doesn't have the patience to see it through to how it all works out in the end. He's not perfect, he's not abandoned, but he's still a human being that can feel pain.
Tear me open, I believe,
God will set you up to bleed,
And no one can deceive,
What is meant to be and,
Bloody murder we will scream!
The things he has gone through has led him to believe that God's plan for you is to put you through misery and pain. I'm not sure if he saying "you" as a general example or if he's actually directing the line to someone in particular. He's also saying that no matter what you say to yourself, it doesn't change what has happened. What's done is done, it happened for a reason and you can't pretend otherwise. The last line is saying that people make a bigger deal out of their problems than they really are. This leads me to believe that either A) Deryck's recent problems (aka, the divorce amongst other things) are not as bad as they were probably made out to be or B) Deryck himself has created his burdens to be bigger than they really are. It depends on what perspective you see him writing from.
Well, I guess it's time for me,
Tell me what I'm left to believe in,
'Cause I don't know the concept of the pain,
I don't want the faith,
I'll just lose it, I can prove it,
Watch me bleed!
I think the first line is him having his turn to speak with God (almost like a prayer I guess) wanting to know what's left for him to believe in because he doesn't understand why he's gone through this pain. Deryck doesn't want "faith" to believe in because he will fail to keep it and if God wants proof, he just needs to watch Deryck suffer.
[Chorus]
God will set you up to,
Tear me open!
God's plan for you is to cause Deryck pain. I can't help but feel this is a reference to Avril.
'Cause I'm not giving up,
No self-control,
Suffocated to the bone,
I'm my worst enemy,
Who can't be saved,
I'm just his disgrace!
He's not going to give up despite not having control over himself like what he may feel or do and feeling like he's hit rock bottom. He is his worst enemy and that's not going to change. I interpret the last line as him being "God's disgrace".
These days are strange it's true,
There's not a thing that I would change,
No mistakes that I'd undo.
Although things are pretty crappy right now, there's nothing he would do to alter the outcome.

True.. Deryck keeps getting better at writing about things.. but he encodes it in a way.. you can't tell what it's about unless you know him well..
