Lead vocalist Joel Birch talks to Apple Music about the meaning of ‘Soak Me In Bleach’.
There was a particular incident—my friend killed himself. He was in a band called The Gifthorse, so we wrote a song [on Misery] named after his band and I used some of his lyrics in the song. This one journalist...
[Intro]
On and on and on and on
On and on and on and on
[Verse 1: Ahren Stringer]
When the dreamer dies (On and on and on and on)
So dies the dream
Turn me inside out (On and on and on and on)
Soak me in bleach (Soak me in bleach)
[Pre-Chorus: Joel Birch]
Only so much running
Low and running from myself
Only so much running
And the running never helps
(Running, running, running, sink)
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer with Joel Birch]
When the dreamer dies, so dies the dream
Turn me inside out, soak me in bleach
Soak me, soak me, soak me in bleach
I'm buried alive, life buries me
Cover my body, soak me in bleach
Soak me, soak me, soak me in bleach
[Verse 2: Ahren Stringer]
Feels like I'm strapped down (On and on and on and on)
Feels like I'm bleeding
Don't know what to do (On and on and on and on)
With all of these feelings (Soak me in bleach)
[Pre-Chorus: Joel Birch]
Only so much running
Low and running from myself
Only so much running
And the running never helps
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer with Joel Birch]
When the dreamer dies, so dies the dream
Turn me inside out, soak me in bleach
Soak me, soak me, soak me in bleach
I'm buried alive, life buries me
Cover my body, soak me in bleach
Soak me, soak me, soak me in bleach
[Bridge: Joel Birch]
Rock
It comes in waves
It crushes me
Yeah, it comes in waves and it crushes me
You can't save me now 'cause I'm out of reach
[Chorus: Ahren Stringer with Joel Birch]
When the dreamer dies, so dies the dream
Turn me inside out, soak me in bleach
Soak me, soak me, soak me in bleach
I'm buried alive, life buries me
Cover my body, soak me in bleach
Soak me, soak me, soak me in bleach
[Outro: Ahren Stringer & Joel Birch]
On and on and on and on
Soak me, soak me, soak me in bleach
On and on and on and on
Soak me, soak me, soak me in bleach

Taking to Instagram Joel Birch has said:
“Soak Me In Bleach” is a song about living under the weight of mental illness, while ading or hearing outside commentary about my lack of mental illness, and these same people questioning the motives behind my decade long public outpouring of emotion describ...
