Bulletproof
Evans Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Embracing their meaning
Starving for hurt
Erasing your feelings
Replacing comfort
With a false sense of sacrifice
Waiting your turn
For a guarantee to roll the dice
Why can't you fake me a reason why
You choose to blame me for all the times you hide
You can't mistake me for the enemy tonight
How does it feel
What does it mean to you
Your heart is real
It isn't bulletproof
You can't conceal all of the things you do
On your way down
Harboring thoughts
Of doubt and confusion
Fearing what's lost
A selfless conclusion
You're awaiting the fall
Creating your own appetite
You're saving it all
You'll do anything to win the fight
Why can't you fake me a reason why
You choose to blame me for all the times you hide
You can't mistake me for the enemy tonight
How does it feel
What does it mean to you
Your heart is real
It isn't bulletproof
You can't conceal all of the things you do
On your way down
How does it feel
What does it mean to you
Your heart is real
It isn't bulletproof
You can't conceal all of the things you do
On your way down
The lyrics of "Bulletproof" by Evans Blue are about the vulnerability of the human heart and the struggle to cope with the pain and hurt that come along with it. The song talks about the search for words that can accurately describe the pain and the failure to find them. It also touches on the false belief that sacrificing comfort can make one feel better about themselves. The lyrics suggest that the singer is aware of someone's attempts to hide their pain and hold others accountable. They call upon this person to be real about their feelings, to acknowledge their own weakness, and to stop blaming others for their struggles.
The chorus repeats the question "How does it feel, what does it mean to you" as a plea for the person to understand and embrace their vulnerabilities. The line "Your heart is real, it isn't bulletproof" suggests that although the person tries to hide their true feelings, they are still human and susceptible to the pain that comes with having a heart. The last line "You can't conceal all of the things you do on your way down" offers a warning to the person, suggesting that their attempts to hide their pain can only bring them downward.
