Bleeding the Orchid
Siva : Song List


Song Information
"I realized listening to 'Orchid' that it's a distant commentary on what happened to the bands of the Nineties. The song even has a bit of an homage to Alice in Chains in the harmonies. Alice in Chains is one band that I appreciate so much more now than when we were all in the same competitive streak. I also thought a lot about Kurt Cobain and what we'd all been through as a collective unit and the battle-scarred feeling of that. I wondered about what our contribution was as a generation. I'm close to Courtney Love. I know the negative ramifications of that time. I see what she goes through, and the ramifications on Francis Bean. Everybody can talk about the Kurt on a t-shirt, but they're still real people . So in a way, that song is a cost assessment." Billy Corgan

"We're great believers in continuing the search musically until the last possible minute looking for something better than what you have, and that song is one that benefited." Jimmy Chamberlin

Lyrics
If life is my witness
Love is my song
If nothing means no one
Then blank, I belong

If fear conquers easy
I can lead on
Milk from the flower
Blood from the dawn

So here we are
Upon your stage
The laughs we shared
The dreams we saved

Bleeding the orchid
We're bleeding the orchid
Bleeding the orchid

Blessed my weakness
Blessed my wrongs
As hate forms the sequence
Of one by one

As freedoms die easy
We suffrage the want
There's clouds in my shower
Ghosts in my arms

Youth is where you are
Faith some sinner's child

We're bleeding the orchid
We're bleeding the orchid
Bleeding the orchid

Gilded art this silent march past triumph thru alarm
So thus charmed
Does this will stand for much?

But heart's untouched by heart's unloved

Bleeding the orchid
Here we are
Upon your stage
The love we share
The dreams we'll save

They're bleeding the orchid
They're bleeding the orchid
They're bleeding the orchid
They're bleeding the orchid
