Done For You
Black Veil Brides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Come with a price
The star that burns so bright
Faded the fastest
You always feel it's right
Even when we end the fight
Welcome home
Oh oh welcome home tonight
Oh oh tonight
Words they don't know to make amends
All they do is push you to the edge
But it's not wasted
It's all done for you
It's all done for you, oh oh
It's all done for you
It's all done for you, oh oh
Oh oh
In Black Veil Brides's song Done For You, the opening lines "the best things in life come with a price, the star that burns so bright, faded the fastest" suggest that the things we value most highly in life often come at a cost, and can be the most fleeting. The chorus "you always feel it's right, even when we end the fight, welcome home, home tonight" speaks to the idea of finding a sense of belonging and comfort with someone, even if it means fighting or going through difficult times. The repetition of "welcome home tonight" emphasizes this sense of finding a safe haven in the midst of turmoil.
The verse "words they don't know to make amends, all they do is push you to the edge, but it's not wasted, it's all done for you" touches on the idea that people may not always know how to apologize or make amends for their actions, and may even push you to your limits. However, the singer suggests that these experiences are not wasted, but are instead done for the benefit of the listener.
Overall, the song Done For You speaks to the push-and-pull of relationships, the struggle to find a sense of belonging, and the idea that our struggles and hardships can ultimately lead to growth and understanding.
