BIBARAGURORIA Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 She's old enough to bleed now...I take it I'm not the only one who thought about periods when Billie sang that line? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parinaz Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 no. it could be period,it could be hymen's hurt, it could be getting hurt like injuries for a 5 year old girl,etc.he uses Bleed most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*withoutadoubt* Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 It's all how you interpret it - Billie's lyrics seem to have many meanings depending on how you see it. I'm sure he didn't lie when he explained what the song was about, parinaz, but even he probably has more than one meaning for each song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parinaz Posted October 9, 2009 Share Posted October 9, 2009 I never say he lies about songs and it's not only billie whose lyrics have more than one meanings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'the more i read the lyrics the more I understand that this song is irrelevant to what Billie said about it!!!!!' You meant that it has a different meaning than what he said it was about? Of course there are others who do the same thing, but I thought we were talking about Green Day here... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacob. Posted October 22, 2009 Share Posted October 22, 2009 they should release this as a b-side, or maybe on an next album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tubbie Head Posted June 26, 2010 Share Posted June 26, 2010 This song is so beautiful, I don't think I'll ever get over how gorgeous Billie's voice is Yes, I agree This is such a sweet song I really really hope they release it, a studio version would sound so good the line "She's old enough to bleed now" is one of my favourite parts... so sweet and cute to hear idk About the period thing, I like to think that's the meaning of it..

JadedHaushinka Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 It's a beautiful song but not that tempting to me. Like it still, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BombingwithBillieJoe Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 The first time I heard it (and every time after) I always assumed "she's old enough to bleed now" meant she's old enough to go out on her own, do her own thing, and handle being hurt by it (ie, bleed). Or that he is ok letting go of her because she's grown up and he's ok with letting her figure out life on her own, accepting that good and bad things will happen to her (ie, bad things make her hurt/bleed). I never thought of period until I came to this thread... and that kind of grossed me out, haha. I doubt he'd sing about a girl getting her period... I'm under the impression that guys are squeamish about that stuff. Based off the fact that all the guys I know pass out at the mention of cramps/nausea, let alone saying the word 'period'.

bellasohl22 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I really love this song but I think that it has a darker meaning than what it sounds like...'dangling from her necklace' That sounds a whole lot like hanging yourself does it not? And that 'she's old enough to bleed now' could be cutting herself. And 'she's going physco.' That's how all self harmers feel. Physco. Coming from an insider on this subject, I think that's what it is... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykee Mexx Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I even think the line "Daddy´s little bundle of joy out of a magazine " can be understood in different ways. I like that. But it´s creepy though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beejeezee Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I always liked to think it was maybe about a daughter Billie never had, because he has said in interviews he wanted one right? But after reading this thread . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inthehallwaynow Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 billie must be some disgusting person with terrible thoughts.. seriously? people that have a problem with the lyric she's old enough to bleed now.. really? do you have a problem saying things like penis and vagina without laughing too? grow up guys/girls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JIGD13 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You're turning what I thought it was a very sweet song into a evil one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mykee Mexx Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 @inthehallwaynow: It´s not a "problem", as you might suggest. It´s just, the closer you look, the more interpretations you can find. Even if BJ hadn´t meant it to be ambigious. I remember from another forum that the line "she holds my malakite so tight" from "2000 lightyears away" lead to some weird interpretations...

Mykee Mexx Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 You're turning what I thought it was a very sweet song into a evil one! Why? Do you take over what others think about the lyrics and it´s possible meaning? Everyone has his own way of looking at things. Why make them yours...?

Guest RedStrokes Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I always thought this song was about about a gorgeous model who was used as a sexual object since childhood. So therefore she lost her innocence and is trying to find god in a weary world. She struggles with problems (perhaps anorexia and attempted suicide), eventually though she gives up all hope and feels like she's going psycho due to her abuse and other problems in her life. "She is so wild and reckless" - this is pretty simple, just describing the girl "She dangles from her necklace"- somebody already said it but I think this is a metaphor for trying hanging herself, if this is true then it's a fantastic metaphor because the way she's judged solely on her looks and the self hatered meet perfectly here "Daddy's little bundle of joy out of a magazine"- I think this means the girl was once or is close with her father. Out of a magazine I believe is just stating she works as a model "Everyone's drama queen is old enough to bleed now" - I cracked up when a few people thought its about her period, well fuck it could be knowing Billie. Anyway I just think it means that the girls old enough to experience life and reap what she sows and take responsibility for her actions. She's not a little kid. "Her life is now unfolding"- same as old enough to bleed now, except for a more literal meaning "Hey little drama queen, did you find your savior?"- the girl here is trying to find meaning in her life, trying to find god. The narrator (Billie) asks her this somewhat cruelly, so we can assume she didn't do this in a very nice way :/ "Everyone's drama queen I think she's going psycho"- after the pain she been through the girl finally snaps and stats to go psycho. Or maybe I'm reading into it..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slave To The Network Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I just love the way Billie sings this song! His voice is so breathtakingly beautiful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyPhil Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 Great great song. I immediately fell in love with it! I love when Billie sing the line "out of magazines". (For how long didn't we have a song of the week?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
