BulletProof Messenger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
An affirmation of the price that's on my head
I just can't get it enough
and I don't remember what you said
(Verse 2)
Another stupid lie that's placed above my bed
I think I've just had enough
(Prechorus)
Woah oh Woah oh
It's not the same for everyone
Woah oh Woah oh
Cause I'll make this last
(Chorus)
Tell me what it is that you truly love
Hold on tight and don't let go
Tell me what it is that you're thinking of
Your silence will take it from you
(Verse 3)
Why do I speak the truth I find it must be said
This time I've had it enough
But the voice keeps screaming in my head
(Pre Chorus)
(Bridge)
Cause you're right
And I'm wrong
Dreams are to blame
So you know, I'm here
And you're gone
An dreams aren't to blame
(Chorus)
The song "DTD" by BulletProof Messenger delves into the singer's struggle with the pressure and expectations placed on them by society. In the verse 1, the lyrics paint a picture of the singer being hunted or chased, with a price on their head. It is a metaphor for how the world tends to view us as individuals with a certain worth, and how it can be overwhelming to constantly feel like we have to prove our value to those around us. The singer is addicted to the feeling of being valued, despite not being able to remember what the people around them say.
In the following verses, the singer speaks about the various challenges they face, including being lied to and a voice inside their head that won't stop screaming. The pre-chorus talks about how everyone has their own individual struggles, and that the singer is determined to make it through despite the challenges.
The chorus is a plea for honesty and communication in relationships, urging the other person to express their true feelings and not hide behind silence. The bridge offers a shift in perspective, with the singer admitting that sometimes they are wrong and that their dreams may have placed unrealistic expectations on themselves and their relationships.
Overall, "DTD" by BulletProof Messenger is an introspective look at the pressure to be perfect and the importance of open communication and honesty in relationships.

An affirmation of the price that's on my head
Acknowledging the value that others have placed on me
I just can't get it enough
Feeling like there is always more to prove or obtain
and I don't remember what you said
Being overwhelmed with thoughts and not able to recall past conversations
Another stupid lie that's placed above my bed
Feeling surrounded by falsehoods and deceit
I think I've just had enough
Reaching a breaking point and wanting to escape the negativity
Cause a voice is screaming in my head
Feeling mentally and emotionally distressed
Woah oh Woah oh
Vocalization of unease and dissatisfaction
It's not the same for everyone
Acknowledging that experiences and challenges vary from person to person
Cause I'll make this last
Determined to persevere despite the difficulties
Tell me what it is that you truly love
Seeking to understand the passions and motivations of others
Hold on tight and don't let go
Encouraging others to cling to what is important to them
Tell me what it is that you're thinking of
Expressing interest in others' thoughts and perspectives
Your silence will take it from you
Warning that not speaking up will allow others to dictate actions and decisions
Why do I speak the truth I find it must be said
Questioning why honesty and speaking up feels necessary
This time I've had it enough
Reaching a limit and needing a change
But the voice keeps screaming in my head
Feeling internal pressure and turmoil
Cause you're right
Admitting wrongdoing or being in the wrong
And I'm wrong
Acknowledging that others have correct information or perspectives
Dreams are to blame
Feeling like ambitions are causing problems or complications
So you know, I'm here
Stating presence and wanting acknowledgement
And you're gone
Noticing or feeling the absence of someone important
An dreams aren't to blame
Realizing that aspirations and goals are not at fault for personal struggles

i really like the intro from 0:00 to 0:10 i just wish it didn't switch to a continues blur of guitar distortion afterwards :( Just not my type of music that's all.
