Bullet of Reason originally came to life in 2006 as Adam separated his personalities into two unique styles. Bullet of Reason was created to take on the harder and darker emotions that formed within; something that his other project Platinum Dragon17 wasn’t really meant to deal with.
His debut release, Assault on Your Reckoning, was released in 2008. A full length album featuring a wide range of styles, he was able to maintain a sound all on his own. Combining electronic sounds with rock riffs and techno and sometimes even hip hop beats, Adam managed to fuse together something different… something that he wanted to hear.
Currently, Adam is working on new material for the new album titled Breathing the Machine. He is challenging himself to write, create, and produce material that he hasn’t done before by trying new ways of getting the sound out of his head. The album will feature more of a guitar driven vibe, while still holding true to the elements Bullet of Reason is known for. There is no release date as of yet, but there will be more details to follow.
Resolution
Bullet of Reason Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I let the darkness consume the light
Leaving you for dead
I can't stand this monster I've become
Everything we've built together, now destruction
Dear God, what have I done?
Will there ever be a resolution?
Will there ever be a resolution?
I should have told you from the start
Instead of dragging you on
Playing with your heart
(I was playing with your heart)
And now I stare into your beautiful eyes
Watching the life in you slowly die
Dear God, what have I done?
Will there ever be a resolution?
Dear God, what have I done?
Will there ever be a resolution?
Dear God, what have I done?
Will there ever be a resolution?
Dear God, what have I done?
Will there ever be a resolution?
Why couldn't I stop and think (I can't go back)
Think straight for a moment (I've got no further to fall)
Why couldn't I just stop and believe (This wasn't what I wanted)
Believe what I felt was honest (I'm sorry)
Why couldn't I stop and wait (I can't go back)
Wait for it all to pull through (I've got no further to fall)
Why couldn't I stop and see (This wasn't what I wanted)
The answer was always you (I'm sorry)
(Will there ever be a resolution?)
(Will there ever be a resolution?)

Line by Line Meaning
I went back on everything I've said
I betrayed all of my previous convictions
I let the darkness consume the light
I allowed negativity to overshadow positivity
Leaving you for dead
I abandoned you during a critical time of need
I can't stand this monster I've become
I despise the person I have transformed into
Everything we've built together, now destruction
All we've constructed jointly, now in ruins
I should have told you from the start
I ought to have been truthful with you from the beginning
Instead of dragging you on
Rather than leading you to a desirable conclusion
Playing with your heart
Manipulating your emotions
(I was playing with your heart)
(I toyed with your feelings)
And now I stare into your beautiful eyes
Currently, I gaze into your lovely gaze
Watching the life in you slowly die
Witnessing you perish gradually
Why couldn't I stop and think (I can't go back)
Why didn't I pause and reflect (I cannot revert)
Think straight for a moment (I've got no further to fall)
Consider clearly for just an instant (I cannot sink any lower)
Why couldn't I just stop and believe (This wasn't what I wanted)
Why didn't I merely halt and trust (This isn't what I desired)
Believe what I felt was honest (I'm sorry)
Trust that I was sincere (I apologize)
Why couldn't I stop and wait (I can't go back)
Why didn't I simply delay (I cannot turn back)

You were always the solution (I apologize)
