Question:
What does the song "let it bleed" by the rolling stones mean?
Answers:
In interviews, they have stated that Keith Richards' fingers began to bleed as he played acoustic guitar for hours while Mick Jagger worked with an engineer on the drum track. The title came from Keith's desire to record his track.
An alternate meaning is that the phrase "Let It Bleed" is intravenous drug user slang for successfully finding a vein. The syringe plunger is pulled back and if blood appears, is called letting it bleed. (The lyrics are full of drug references, so...hmmmmmmmmm : )
Many believe that this song was a take on the Beatles' album Let It Be. The titles are very similar, but the evidence is not conclusive. The Stones' Let It Bleed album was released before Let it Be, but Let it Be had been recorded earlier than most of the songs in Let It Bleed, and was a known project.
