    I suspect he's referring to the Linkin Park song released a few years ago. The lyrics are incomprehensible to me. On the other hand, if the OP means "to bleed out", he can look here. Exsanguination - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    It would have been helpful if you had given this information in your first post. The more context we have, the easier it is for us to help.

    riquecohen does not understand the lyrics of this song - linkin park bleed it out lyrics - YouTube; neither do I. I note that one of the lines is: "Half the words don't mean a thing".

    Song lyrics are not always meaningful and coherent- some make little sense and often songwriters just use words because they sound good. This song is not very clear to me either. There's a lot of death imagery in it, so I suppose bleeding it out is getting rid of what disturbs him.
