Dignity
♪ Bullet For My Valentine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So society just let us be
Please don't be ashamed
We are not to blame
The future's ours to take
We will make mistakes
Scream it loud and proud
We will not back down
So let's go we'll release the pressure
And a kick can only make it better
We can't we won't surrender
We can't we won't surrender

We're not scared 'cause our life in danger
We add the heat will only make it stronger
We can't we won't surrender
We can't we won't surrender

Don't tell me where are we laying your cemetery
Don't try to silence and bury me
Don't push me 'cause I won't go quietly
I may die with dignity

Let them put us down
Hope we're not around
They pray we go away
But we're here to stay

Time is on our side
Our two worlds collide
These four words might help
Just go fuck yourself

So let's go we'll release the pressure
And a kick can only make it better
We can't we won't surrender
We can't we won't surrender

We're not scared 'cause our life's in danger
We add the heat will only make it stronger
We can't we won't surrender
We can't we won't surrender

Don't tell me where are we laying your cemetery
Don't try to silence and bury me
Don't push me 'cause I won't go quietly
I may die with dignity

Dignity

Don't tell me where are we laying your cemetery
Don't try to silence and bury me
Don't push me 'cause I won't go quietly
I'm ready to die with dignity

Tell me where are we laying your cemetery
Don't try to silence and bury me




Don't push me 'cause I won't go quietly
I may die with dignity

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bullet For My Valentine's song "Dignity" express a defiance towards societal expectations and limitations placed upon individuals. The first verse beckons for society to allow individuals to simply exist without shame or blame, while asserting agency over their own future, even if it means making mistakes. The chorus emphasizes the determination to never surrender in the face of danger or opposition, and to fight back against attempts at suppression.


The second verse encourages individuals to resist conformity and to not be silenced or buried, instead choosing to confront the challenges ahead, even if it may result in death. The repeated phrase "I may die with dignity" reinforces this idea of standing up for oneself and not caving in to societal pressures, even if it means facing adversity and potential consequences. The bridge provides a final message to those who may oppose this way of thinking - a message of profane opposition that solidifies the song's message of rebellion.


Overall, "Dignity" is a bold statement of individual agency and resistance against limiting societal expectations. It urges individuals to fight for their own dignity and stand up against those who seek to suppress or erase them.

Lyrics:

Death surrounds
My heartbeat's slowing down
I won't take this world's abuse
I won't give up, I refuse
This is how it feels when you're bent and broken
This is how it feels when your dignity's stolen
When everything you love is leaving
You hold on to what you believe in

The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flatline

No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight

Break their hold
'Cause I won't be controlled
They can't keep their chains on me
When the truth has set me free
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you finally fight back
When life pushes me I push harder
What doesn't kill me makes me stronger

The last thing I heard was you whispering goodbye
And then I heard you flatline

No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight

Don't you give up on me
You're everything I need
This is how it feels when you take your life back
This is how it feels when you fight back

No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna stand and fight forever
(Don't close your eyes)
No, not gonna die tonight
We're gonna fight for us together
No, we're not gonna die tonight

No, we're not gonna die tonight
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die
(Not gonna die)
Not gonna die tonight



@bariiaj

I'm SICK OF IT
the WHISPERS IN THE DARK,
from that MONSTER in the corner.
Made of FIRE AND FURY,
I'm falling INSIDE THE BLACK.
But I will RISE,
I will soon be AWAKE AND ALIVE.
No longer COMATOSE,
because my HERO will save me now.
I know I'm NOT GONNA DIE tonight.
