A Match Into Water
Pierce The Veil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I kissed the scars on her skin
I still think you're beautiful
And I don't ever want to lose my best friend
I screamed out, God you vulture
Bring her back or take me with her
Tear it down, break the barricades
I want to see what sound it makes
I hate this flavor with a passion, and I fucking hate the aftertaste
How does it feel? (How does it feel?)
Well, it feels like I'm on fire
Wake up, I know you can hear me
Make me a promise here tonight, love like a tidal wave
Dreamless and early graves, I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done, we can say that
When it's sudden death we fight back
(Oh, yeah, this was just as I suspected)
Pretend like it don't entice you
I've seen you circling the sky above my head
You traitor
I will never be taken for granted again
(Keep digging holes in the desert)
Say a prayer for you
I know that you're in pain
But if we die at the same time does it still scare you?
Make me a promise here tonight (let's go)
Dreamless and early graves, I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done, we can say that
Oh my God, we're not gonna make it
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
We will bring the tidal wave
And nothing will remain
She's mine
You stay away from her, it's not her time
'Cause, baby, I'm the one who haunts your dreams at night
Until she's satisfied
Make me a promise here tonight, love like a tidal wave
Dreamless and early graves, I never want it to be this way
The chemicals will bring you home again
This is it, when it's done, we can say that
When it's sudden death we fight back
Go
Fuck it

Guys it doesn't matter if it's about cancer or self harm. It's music, you're free to interpret it the way you want. Nothing wrong with that.
@1kl5584
couldn't agree more
@callievarblow5962
YES!! Plus based on what I have seen so, SO many of these songs can be interpreted two ways, and a lot of times I think that is intentional. If Vic really did self harm in the past I highly HIGHLY doubt he wrote those lyrics without thinking of the fanbase that would take it that way.
@Dewalt20vmaxdril
True. That's what I love about music. You can interpret it the way you might need it rn. It's crazy how some songs don't even have that much of a deep meaning for the artists but can be so deep for someone else listening due to the fact that their life is completely different and they see things differently wich makes them interpret the song in a different way whether it's comforting, depressing or angering it's just so fascinating to me.
