Braile
Bring Me the Horizon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's 3:18, mouth tastes like the corpse of every pregnant teen,
The minutes are hours, the hours are days,
I feel infected by your presence, you speak in tongues,
I smell the lies dancing on your blackened lungs,

I whispered in her ear:
Fear me dear, for I am Death,
I'll take your hope, your dreams, your love,
Till there's nothing left

I whispered in her ear:
You better fear me dear, for I am Death,
I'll take that shit you call a life,
In a single fucking breath

I'll take your hope,
I'll take your fucking dreams,
I'll take your love,
I'll take everything you fucking bitch,

I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes,
I'll turn your promises into lies,
I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes,
I'll turn your promises into lies,

It's 3:18, mouth tastes like the corpse of every pregnant teen,
The hours are days, the days are dead,
I feel infected by your presence, you speak in tounges,
I smell the lies dancing on your blackened lungs,

I hear the fear in your voice, but you shouldn't feel a thing,
Your life's already worse than any pain that I could bring,
That I could bring,
That I could bring,

I could make it December every day,
But you're so blind, it may as well be May,

And I whispered in her ear:
You better fear me dear, for this is Death
And I whispered in her ear:
Fear me, 'cause I am Death

One more time,

I whispered in her ear:
Fear me dear, for I am Death,
I'll take everything you ever loved

I whispered in her ear:
You better fear me, for I am Death.
For I am Death.
For I am Death

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Bring Me the Horizon's song "Braile" are a dark and intense depiction of a dominating force that seems to take pleasure in destroying the lives of those around them. The singer begins by describing their physical state, with a mouth that tastes like the "corpse of every pregnant teen" and a sense of time passing slowly. They then turn their attention to a person who seems to be the object of their anger, describing them as speaking in tongues and having "lies dancing on [their] blackened lungs."


The singer then makes direct threats to this person, whispering in their ear that they are Death and that they will take everything this person loves until there is nothing left. The language here is violent and menacing, with the singer using the word "bitch" to further emphasize their desire to dominate and control. They go on to describe how they will steal "the diamonds from [the person's] eyes" and "turn [their] promises into lies."


Throughout the song, there is a sense of fear and darkness that permeates the lyrics. The singer seems to revel in their power over this other person, and the final lines of the song repeat the threats made earlier. The use of the word "braile" in the title and repeated throughout the song could suggest a sense of blindness or inability to see the truth, as if the other person is unable to understand the danger they are in. Overall, the song is a haunting and disturbing exploration of power and control.

Lyrics:
It's three eighteen, mouth tastes like the corpse of every pregnant teen,
The minutes are hours, the hours are days,
I feel infected by your presence, you speak in tongues,
I smell the lies dancing on your blackened lungs,

I whispered in her ear:
Fear me dear, for I am Death,
I'll take your hope, your dreams, your love,
Till there's nothing left

I whispered in her ear
You better fear me dear, for I am Death,
And I'll take that shit you call a life,
In a single fucking breath

I'll take your hope,
I'll take your fucking dreams,
I'll take your love,
I'll take everything you fucking bitch,

I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes,
I'll turn your promises into lies,
I'll steal the diamonds from your eyes,
I'll turn your promises into lies,

It's three eighteen, mouth tastes like the corpse of every pregnant teen,
The hours are days, the days are dead,
I feel infected by your presence, you speak in tongues,
I smell the lies dancing on your blackened lungs,

I hear the fear in your voice, but you shouldn't feel a thing,
Your life's already worse than any pain that I could bring,
That I could bring,
That I could bring,

I could make it December every day,
But you're so blind, it may as well be May,

And I whispered in her ear
You better fear me dear, for this is Death
And I whispered in her ear
Fear me, 'cause I am Death

One more time,

I whispered in her ear
Fear me dear, for I am Death,
I'll take everything you ever loved

I whispered in her ear
You better fear me, for I am Death.
For I am Death

These vocals were beyond the limit in 2006,masterwork in tasty brutal deathcire

@senadkahrimanovic7660

Typical vocals for a deathcore band back then..

@genocidecrusade6534

​@@senadkahrimanovic7660I mean conceptually. They were all doing growls and highs but I've never heard any do this 3:04 before. It sounds like some Cradle Of Filth shit. His vocals were really gnarly at times you can't lie.

@robodestro

@@genocidecrusade6534 listen to the black dahlia murder, a big inspiration for bmth
