Perfect Weapon
Black Veil Brides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Awake at night you focus,
On everyone whose hurt you,
And write a list of targets,
Your violent lack of virtue.
Leave us alone!
You're on your own!
We are breathing,
While you're sleeping, go, (go!)
And leave us alone,
The liars cheating,
Our hearts beating, go, (go!)
And now you're on your own.
Here's to your perfect weapon,
Crack bones with blind aggression,
Like birds whose wings are broken,
You live without direction.
Leave us alone!
You're on your own!
We are breathing,
While your sleeping, go, (go!)
And leave us alone,
The liars cheating,
Our heart's beating, go, (go!)
And now you're on your own.
Go!
Go!
Go!
Go!
And now you're on your own!
Go!
Go!
And leave us alone!
We are breathing,
While your sleeping, go, (go!)
And leave us alone,
The liars cheating,
Our heart's beating, go, (go!)
And now you're on your own.
"Perfect Weapon" by Black Veil Brides is a song about revenge and standing up to someone who has hurt you. The opening lines suggest the singer is awake at night, thinking about all the people who have hurt him/her and writing a list of targets. This indicates that the singer has been wronged multiple times and is now seeking revenge. The phrase "violent lack of virtue" is used to describe the singer's actions, indicating that the revenge will be brutal and unforgiving.
The chorus of the song "Here's to your perfect weapon, crack bones with blind aggression, like birds whose wings are broken, you live without direction" showcases the singer's anger towards someone who has hurt them. The "perfect weapon" refers to the person who has wronged the singer, and they are compared to a bird with broken wings, who is aimlessly wandering through life. The singer is suggesting that the person who has wronged them is directionless and broken.
The chorus repeats the phrase "leave us alone, you're on your own" multiple times. This indicates that the singer has had enough, and wants the person who has wronged them to go away and deal with their own problems. In the end, the song is about standing up to bullies and those who have wronged you, and taking control of your own life.

“I like it better when he was ruining his voice” that’s what you are saying...yes everyone sounds better when they scream wrong but then it drastically decreases the vocal longevity of the singer to where they can’t sing clean....it happened to Danny in Asking that’s why he took a break from screaming, his voice was trashed...Matt from Trivium stopped just in time like Andy and learned how to scream correctly so it sounds different but I’d rather have Andy around longer than fan pressure him to ruin is voice shortening the life of the band and his health........he recorded an whole album with a blood infection already we as fans don’t deserve to nitpick
@AnkitDasture
Nothing to be sorry about, a true bvb fan will always love the screams and the OG ones
