Bullet
Chasing Grace Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

what happen to the boy
i used to know
i used to hold
but now he's just holding his gun
what happen to the girl
i used to love
left me here with lust
the bullets were just no fun
shoot, shoot me down





Overall Meaning

"Bullet" by Chasing Grace is a powerful and emotional song that delves into the loss of a loved one to gun violence. The opening lyrics, "what happened to the boy I used to know, I used to hold, but now he's just holding his gun," suggest a sense of frustration and sadness that the singer feels towards the boy who has turned to violence. The use of the phrase "holding his gun" portrays a sense of isolation and detachment from the outside world, highlighting the destructive path that the boy has taken.


The second verse continues the theme of loss and heartache, with the lyrics "what happened to the girl I used to love, left me here with lust, the bullets were just no fun." These lyrics are especially poignant as they express the singer's conflicting emotions towards the girl who has died. While the singer still loves her, they also feel a sense of frustration and anger towards the violence that has taken her life. The phrase "the bullets were just no fun" suggests that the act of violence has stripped away any joy or happiness that the singer may have had in their life.


Overall, "Bullet" is a powerful and thought-provoking song that expresses the emotional turmoil that comes with the loss of a loved one through violence. It is a reflection on the destructive nature of violence and the devastating effects it can have on those left behind.
