Black Veil Brides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I've lost all faith in this blurring light
But stay right here we can change our plight
We're storming through this despite what's right
One final fight, for this tonight
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Lay your heart down the ends in sight
Everyday it's still the same dull knife
Stab it through and justify your pride
One final fight, for this tonight
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Whoa and I can't go on without your love
You lost, you never held on
We tried our best
Turn out the light
Turn out the light
One final fight, for this tonight
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Whoa and I can't go on without your love
You lost, you never held on
We tried our best
Turn out the light
Turn out the light
The lyrics to Black Veil Brides's song "Knives and Pens" offer a powerful message about the struggles of feeling alone and lost in a world of darkness. The opening lines set the scene for a deep emotional conflict: "Alone at last, we can sit and fight / And I've lost all faith in this blurring light." The singer of the song is grappling with feelings of disillusionment with the world around them, and the uncertainty of their own future. Despite these challenges, there is still hope to be found: "But stay right here we can change our plight / We're storming through this despite what's right."
As the song progresses, the message becomes more urgent and emotional, climaxing with the repeated refrain of "One final fight, for this tonight / Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight." The line "Lay your heart down the ends in sight / Conscience begs for you to do what's right" expresses a desire to find meaning and purpose, even in the darkest of moments. The lyrics make it clear that this fight is an internal one, a struggle against self-doubt and despair. The final lines, "Turn out the light / Turn out the light," suggest a willingness to let go of the past and start anew.
Overall, "Knives and Pens" is a powerful exploration of the human condition, and the ways in which we overcome our struggles to find light in the darkness.
Line by Line Meaning
Alone at last, we can sit and fight
Finally, we are alone and can confront each other on our issues
And I've lost all faith in this blurring light
I feel hopeless and confused about the current situation
But stay right here we can change our plight
If we work together, we can change the outcome of our situation
We're storming through this despite what's right
We're making decisions that may not be seen as ‘right’ by others, but we believe it's the best path forward for us.
One final fight, for this tonight
This is the last argument or disagreement we will have about this issue
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Metaphorically, we express ourselves through our words and tools
Lay your heart down the ends in sight
Be honest with yourself and let your true feelings be known
Conscience begs for you to do what's right
Your inner voice tells you to make the choice that is morally correct
Everyday it's still the same dull knife
Every day we have the same struggles or issues, making them less interesting and dull
Stab it through and justify your pride
Make a bold decision and defend it to protect your pride
Whoa and I can't go on without your love
I cannot continue without your affection and support
You lost, you never held on
You gave up too soon and did not hold on or fight for what we had
We tried our best
We put forth genuine effort to make things work
Turn out the light
Symbolically, it's over and time to move on
Turn out the light
This one repeated line is a reflection of the finality of the situation
