Bullet Proof Hero
Dangerous New Machine Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Looking back I laugh
at all the things I did
And I realize the short term consequence
Fear, no nothing had faced me
I was going full speed, no one could have stopped me

I'm not bulletproof
You're not bulletproof
Doesn't matter no one's ever going to be a hero
I'm not bulletproof
You're not bulletproof
But it doesn't mean that I can't ever be the hero

Words my mother said
The things my father did
The messages they've sent
I deleted them
Came to this conclusion
No one's gonna tell me anything

I'm not bulletproof
You're not bulletproof
Doesn't matter no one's ever going to be a hero
I'm not bulletproof
You're not bulletproof
But it doesn't mean that I can't ever be the hero

If I could fly away
I never have to be the one to lie in vain
pretend that nothing matters
If I could get away
never have to live with all of my mistakes
But i can't fake anymore

I'm not bulletproof
You're not bulletproof
Doesn't matter no one's ever going to be a hero
I'm not bulletproof
You're not bulletproof
But it doesn't mean that i can't ever be the hero





Your hero
