The Divide
BulletProof Messenger Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cross now the divide
It's close to becoming a mile wide
If you have something to say
Say it now or I'm walking away
I can see that you're taking the bait
But I'm done with you
And I am sick of your games
I've got a point to make
You've got legs for days
I'm a sucker for you
When you're in that dress
So you manipulate
We're getting old but act 21
Getting tossed from the bar and having fun
Another chance we could settle up
Step right to the edge and we can
Cross now the divide
Between you and me
It's close to becoming a mile wide
Take all that you need
And leave me to bear the weight
As I save us both tonight
It's a modern charade
Living fast in a digital age
Be quick or you may miss the days
When the people went outside
And they were not afraid
Dead soon but we're living young
Maybe now we can finally have some fun
Getting close to oblivion
I enjoyed the ride but now just
Say, say it to me
Say that were ready to die for
All of our mistakes
Play, play it again
The game where we all pretend
That we'll live forever
Cross now the divide
Between you and me
It's close to becoming a mile wide
Take all that you need
And leave me to bear the weight
As I save us both tonight
Live forever...
Live forever...
Cross now the divide
Between you and me
It's close to becoming a mile wide
Take all that you need
And leave me to bear the weight
As I save us both tonight
Cross now the divide
Say that we're ready to die for
All of our mistakes
Take all that you need




The game where we all pretend
That we'll live forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of BulletProof Messenger's song "The Divide" convey a sense of tension and conflict within a relationship, possibly between two individuals who are at a breaking point. The repeated refrain of "Cross now the divide" suggests a literal and metaphorical separation that is growing wider and harder to bridge with each passing moment. The singer seems to be urging the other person to speak their truth or make a decision before it's too late, emphasizing the urgency of the situation.


The mention of manipulation and games being played in the relationship hints at a lack of honesty and genuine connection between the two parties. The singer is fed up with the games and deception, wanting to make a point and confront the issues at hand. The reference to being a "sucker" for the other person in a certain guise further highlights the toxic dynamic that exists between them, with one party feeling drawn in despite knowing better.


As the lyrics delve into themes of living fast in a modern, digital age, there is a sense of nihilism and recklessness in the air. The characters in the song seem to be living on the edge, engaging in risky behavior and pushing boundaries without much regard for the consequences. The imagery of getting "tossed from the bar and having fun" paints a picture of fleeting pleasures and a disregard for the future.


The closing lines of the song bring a sense of resignation and acceptance of the fleeting nature of life and relationships. The idea of being ready to "die for all of our mistakes" suggests a willingness to confront the consequences of their actions, even if it means facing the ultimate price. The repeated plea to "live forever" underscores a desire for immortality or timelessness, but also serves as a reminder of the impermanence of life and the need to confront reality before it's too late. The overall tone of the song is one of urgency, regret, and a longing for genuine connection in the face of impending separation.

Yessss I loved you guys from years ago!! So freaking awesome you're still making music I was super surprised to see this pop up on my release radar on spotify. Seriously this song is great keep it up!

Dragon Sniper

I was telling someone the other day that it is such a sad shame how underated you guys are. BPM deserves a ton of publicity, unlike some of the mainstream artists who were just flukes.

Dragon Sniper

Definitely, never thought of it like that!

BulletProof Messenger

I suppose its better to be underrated than overrated!

Randy Faelan

Sounds like a sequel/improvement on Everyone Like You - no complaints from me, I loved that song! Great to hear from you guys again!

BulletProof Messenger

Maybe we’ll have to remix that one. Haven’t heard anyone talk about that song in forever!
