“The title track and a possible second
single. It’s about a search for empathy. We can forget so easily
that people are the same regardless of their sexuality,
religion, colour or moral values.” - Shirley Manson - Rip &
Burn magazine, April 2005
“Regardless of the differences
between people – their colour, creed, sexuality or how they
behave and express themselves – essentially we are exactly the
same. It’s about how when you are dealing with other people you
have to remember that they are all carrying with them their own
baggage.” - Shirley Manson, NME
pinkaholic866 asks: Which song has the most personal
meaning to you?
Garbage_Live says: She could also be talking
tongue-in-cheeck about the band. But again she writes in such a
way the lyrics can be open to interpritation.
Butch says: I have a tendency to love the songs we do
when Shirley sings quietly like "Look So Fine" and "Bleed Like
Me." Shirley wrote that song about 5 people and when I hear her
sing "Bleed Like Me" I can hear how she is expressing how she
feels about those individuals.
Steve says: I think we ended up choosing "Bleed Like Me"
for the title album because it meant to much to all of us.
FionnulaTheCooler asks: In the song Bleed Like Me,
Shirley sings, in part, about JT Leroy. Are the other characters
of the song real people or creatures of Shirley's imagination?
Garbage_Live says: They are real people. Avalanche is a
friend of hers from school. Doodle is a friend from Ireland.
They all have self destructive issues and they all really do
exist. - MSN chat - April 18th 2005 |
