He's bleeding out to bring someone down, however he is bleeding out for them. He holds on to hold out, and fights for someone he truly cares about. His final battle has come, his time is over. The color is fading as he breaths in his final breaths, and he focuses on the pain of his beating heart. His loved one is telling him to hold on, to avoid death, but everything that was once good is bad. When once it was best to survive, it is now best to die. He knows this is the final end, and he will spend his last moment fighting to bring them down. He only has to die, so he's taking in the pain and counting till it's over. He starts to feel that it was all for nothing, and his mind starts to fear death's howl. But whenever his loved one is faced with death, he will take their place and become the scarecrow to take death for them.
I don't know what the actual meaning behind the song is, however it seems to fit the relationship of Baelfire and Rumpelstiltskin from Once Upon a Time. Baelfire loves his father, but he is also willing to give up everything to destroy what his father has become. These thoughts inspire a different thought process. Is there anyone you used to be great friends with, who became something you can't stand? Would you be willing to die for them if they changed their ways as a result? Challenging, defiantly. This song also reminds me of Christ, he was willing to die for the people that crucified him.
I hope this song inspires you. If not in your life or your writing, then at least in the way that you see certain characters. Habent sua fata libelli!
