In May 2014, Biersack revealed to Kerrang! magazine that he had been working on new music outside of Black Veil Brides, of which he will be called 'Andy Black'. He explains that his solo project will have a radically different sound compared to the band, and that he felt that he couldn't create that sound within the band, so decided to take it on as a solo artist. Andy's inspiration for this project was his love for '80s synth and goth music, and will be working with former Black Veil Brides producer John Feldmann. Despite this project, he reassured his fans that this does not mean this is his primary focus, and that this is more of a hobby or a side-project. On May 19, he premiered his first song titled 'They Don't Need to Understand' online with a music video via Hot Topic.
Paint it Black
Andy Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
We're still gold
Just another day we made mistakes
Face the rain
Don't walk away
There's another chance to set it straight
And we were never meant to be alone
You know we've got each other
It's not too late for two lost souls
We're not the only ones to lose control
But we're in this together, yeah
Every time you walk away
I lose the one I need to save
I just paint it black
Like starting over
Every time I lose a fight
And I'm dying to be right
I just paint it black
So you remember
This won't last forever
It's just another night (just another night)
Same old song
We sang along
Never knowing how it's gonna end
I am here with love my dear
We can let it go and start again
In my heart we share a home
And all the years that we have grown
You know we've got each other
So hear me out and don't give up
The world is ours and with our love
We're in this together, yeah
Every time you walk away
I lose the one I need to save
I just paint it black
Like starting over
Every time I lose a fight
And I'm dying to be right
I just paint it black
So you remember
This won't last forever
It's just another night
So look in my eyes
Clear as the skies
You can see right through me
Your heart bleeds through me
No matter where you are
I won't leave you behind
We'll make it out alive
We'll make it out alive
Every time you walk away
I lose the one I need to save
I just paint it black
Like starting over
Every time I lose a fight
And I'm dying to be right
I just paint it black
So you remember
Even on your final day
When you can not find your way
I just paint it black
Like starting over
This won't last forever
It's just another night
It's just another night
It's just another night
