Shot Full Of Love
Billy Ray Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Love to me was only for fun
I'd make a mark for each broken heart
Like notches on the butt of a gun
Once I had a trick up my sleeve
And a reputation all over town
I was heartless and cold wherever I'd go
[Chorus]
Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit
I used to be a heartbreak kid
Then I met you and the next thing I know there I was
Oh shot full of love
Well who'd have thought that someone like you
Could take a desperado like me
But oh here I am as meek as a lamb
With my bleeding heart there at your feet
[Chorus: x2]
In Billy Ray Cyrus's song "Shot Full of Love," the singer discusses his past as a heartbreaker who took pleasure in making marks for each broken heart he caused. He describes himself as a "moonlight bandit" and a "heartbreak kid," indicating his tendency to be reckless with the emotions of the young girls he encountered. However, everything changed when he met the person that he is singing to in the song, as he became "shot full of love" and was transformed from a heartless and cold individual to someone who was transformed and humbled by love.
The singer's use of images and metaphors emphasizes the depth of his personal change. He compares himself to a desperado, referencing the concept of a lone outlaw who pulls off daring heists and robberies out of a need for adventure or desperation. He notes that he is now "as meek as a lamb," indicating that his transformation was profound enough to make him gentle and quiet in the face of the overwhelming feelings he is experiencing.
Overall, "Shot Full of Love" is a personal, introspective song about the transformative power of love in the face of a past marked by recklessness and heartbreak.
Line by Line Meaning
Once I had a heart cold as ice
In the past, my heart was emotionless and indifferent
Love to me was only for fun
I used to view love as a game and not something serious
I'd make a mark for each broken heart
I kept track of every person whose heart I had broken
Like notches on the butt of a gun
Similar to the way a cowboy would carve notches on his gun as a sign of his kills
Once I had a trick up my sleeve
I had a deceptive plan or strategy
And a reputation all over town
My behavior was well-known throughout the community
I was heartless and cold wherever I'd go
I acted cruelly and without compassion in all situations
And I shot down every young girl I found
I metaphorically 'shot down' the hopes and dreams of every young woman I encountered
Yes I used to be a moonlight bandit
I formerly operated under the cover of night - doing the wrong things when nobody could see me
I used to be a heartbreak kid
I was once a person who left a trail of broken hearts in my wake
Then I met you and the next thing I know there I was
Meeting you was like a light switch flipping on
Oh shot full of love
I was overcome with a powerful and transformative emotion
Well who'd have thought that someone like you
I never expected someone like you to enter my life
Could take a desperado like me
You were able to turn a hopeless and reckless person like me around
But oh here I am as meek as a lamb
As a result of your presence, I'm now humble and submissive
With my bleeding heart there at your feet
I'm offering my heart to you, despite the pain it may cause me
[Chorus] x2
Repeats the previous lines as a chorus

Oh, shot full of love, shot full of love
Shot full of love, shot full of love
Shot full of love, shot full of love
Shot full of love, shot full of love
