The Mortician's Daughter
Black Veil Brides Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I sing this song at funerals... no rush.
These lyrics heard a thousand times, just plush.
Baby boy you've held so tightly,
This pain it visits almost nightly
Missing hotel beds, I feel your touch.
I will await dear, a patience of eternity, my crush.
No rust.
No dust will ever grow on this frame,
One million years, and I will say your name.
I love you more than I can ever scream.
We booked our flight those years ago,
I said, "I love you, " as I left you.
Regrets still haunt my hollow head,
But I promised you I will see you again, again.
I sit here and smile dear.
I smile because I think of you and I blush.
These bleeding hollow dials... this fuss.
A fuss is made of miles and travels
When roadways are but stones and gravel.
A bleeding heart can conquer every crush.
We booked our flight those years ago
You said you loved me as you left me.
Regrets still haunt your saddened head,
But I promised you that I will see you,
We booked our flight those years ago
I said I loved you as I left you
Regret's no longer in my head,
But I promised you and now
I'm home again, again, again, I'm home again, again, again.
I'm home again.
The Mortician's Daughter by Black Veil Brides is a heart-wrenching song about love and loss. The song starts with the singer opening his lungs and singing a song at funerals. He sings the same lyrics, again and again, just like the plush that he's holding onto. He thinks about the pain that he's going through and how he misses his baby boy. He feels his touch even though he's missing hotel beds. He knows that he has to wait for his crush with patience until eternity.
The next verse talks about love that never fades away. He believes that no rust or dust will ever grow on this frame, and even in one million years, he will say his love's name. He is in love with his crush so much that he can't scream it loud enough. The chorus talks about the promise that the singer made to his love; they booked their flight years ago, and even though he regrets leaving her head, he promised her that he would see her again.
The song's rest talks about the singer thinking about his love, feeling her presence, and blushing. He knows that many miles and travels are left, but he believes that a bleeding heart can conquer every crush. The song then returns to the chorus, where the singer tells us that he has come home again, and his regret is now gone. He has kept his promise of seeing his true love again.
