Blacklist
Bring Me the Horizon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

So just like that you're fucking dead and gone
You can only wear a crown of thorns for so long
We built an empire and you took the throne
But you built it from bayonets and sat there alone
I hope your queen was worth it,
Do you still serve her on your knees?
Because you sat when the world was at your feet,
Just slept while we lived the dream

You won't miss the water,
Till the river runs dry
You won't miss the sunset,
Till it burns out the sky
You won't miss what you have,
Till it's finally lost
But you don't miss a bastard,
When you're bearing his fucking cross

Blacklist
Nothing but a blacklist
With friends like you,
There's no need for enemies
With friends like you,
There's no need for anything

Blacklist
You're nothing but a blacklist

Well, truth be told
I'm a little bit gutted
I mean you were always a prick,
But we still seemed to love you
We started this together and it should have stuck
But there's no room for a useless, miserable fuck
Well I know I was a cunt in the final days
It just filled me with venom, filled me with rage
To see someone not give a shit,
Despite of all of this
I won't see you around, I couldn't give a fuck
I'd rather slit my wrists than keep in touch




You're on my blacklist and there's nothing left to say
We're finished breaking our bones, dragging dead fucking weight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics in Bring Me the Horizon's song Blacklist are a scathing critique of someone who has betrayed the trust of those who built an empire with them. The song begins with the harsh reality that the person they are addressing is now "fucking dead and gone." They go on to suggest that wearing a crown of thorns can only happen for so long, implying that the person acted with a sense of entitlement that ultimately led to their downfall. The verses detail how this person took the throne of the empire that they had all built together, but did so through oppressive tactics and left themselves isolated in the end.


The chorus brings home the message that the person in question will not realize what they had until it's gone. They won't recognize the true value of what they had until it's too late, and they are left with nothing but a blacklist. The final verse suggests that there was a sense of camaraderie among the group, but this person's actions caused irreparable damage. Despite this, the message is clear: they are no longer a part of the group, and there is nothing left to say.


Overall, the lyrics in Blacklist are a powerful message of betrayal and the consequences that come from abusing power.

With friends like you,
You were supposed to be my friend, but you betrayed me and hurt me deeply.


There's no need for enemies

We started this together and it should have stuck
We embarked on a journey together, and we should have stayed together until the end.


But there's no room for a useless, miserable fuck
You became too difficult to deal with, too negative to be around, and too much of a burden for us to carry.


Well I know I was a cunt in the final days
I admit that I wasn't perfect, and I made some mistakes in our final interactions.


It just filled me with venom, filled me with rage
Your behavior towards me, and towards others, triggered a deep sense of anger and frustration within me.


To see someone not give a shit,
It hurt me to see how little you cared about the things that mattered to me and to others.


Despite of all of this
Despite everything that happened between us, I still tried to see the good in you and to forgive you.


I won't see you around, I couldn't give a fuck
I don't care about seeing you again, and I have no desire to be a part of your life.


I'd rather slit my wrists than keep in touch
I would rather harm myself than talk to you or spend any time with you.


You're on my blacklist and there's nothing left to say
You are not welcome in my life or in my thoughts, and I have no reason to talk to you again.


We're finished breaking our bones, dragging dead fucking weight
We are done wasting our time and energy on someone who only drags us down and causes us pain.

It seems no one cared for this so I'll do it 5 years later...

So just like that you're fucking dead and gone

But you built it from bayonets and sat there alone
I hope your queen was worth it,

Because you sat when the world was at your feet,
Just slept while we lived the dream

You won't miss the water,
