What is the meaning of *Til' all my sleeves are stained red*? Hi there, Could you please tell me what the meaning of *Till all my sleeves are stained red* is ? The sentence is quoted from the song of One Republic - Secrets as a part of below I greatly appreciate your explanation. Need something that I can confess 我需要一些我能夠坦白的東西 Till all my sleeves are stained red 直到我的棉絮被染成紅色 From all the truth that I've said 從所有我所說的真相 Come by it honestly I swear 我發誓我將從實招來

He is referring to the metaphor to 'wear one's heart on one's sleeve' which means to share one's feelings. I think what the singer is saying is that he will continue to share his feelings (through his music) until his 'sleeves are stained red with the blood from the heart that he wears on his sleeve' (metaphorically). Does that make sense?
