Bulletproof
Evans Blue Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Embracing their meaning
Starving for hurt
Erasing your feelings
Replacing comfort
With a false sense of sacrifice
Waiting your turn
For a guarantee to roll the dice
Why can't you fake me a reason why
You choose to blame me for all the times you hide
You can't mistake me for the enemy tonight
How does it feel
What does it mean to you
Your heart is real
It isn't bulletproof
You can't conceal all of the things you do
On your way down
Harboring thoughts
Of doubt and confusion
Fearing what's lost
A selfless conclusion
You're awaiting the fall
Creating your own appetite
You're saving it all
You'll do anything to win the fight
Why can't you fake me a reason why
You choose to blame me for all the times you hide
You can't mistake me for the enemy tonight
How does it feel
What does it mean to you
Your heart is real
It isn't bulletproof
You can't conceal all of the things you do
On your way down
How does it feel
What does it mean to you
Your heart is real
It isn't bulletproof
You can't conceal all of the things you do
On your way down
The lyrics of Evans Blue's "Bulletproof" are about the human struggle to overcome emotional pain and fear. The artist paints a picture of a person who is trying to find the strength to face their demons, but is struggling to do so. The first verse talks about someone who is looking for words to express the pain they're feeling, but who can't seem to embrace their own emotions. They try to replace their pain with a "false sense of sacrifice," but in the end, they're just waiting for a guarantee to roll the dice.
The second verse delves deeper into the person's psyche. They're harboring thoughts of doubt and confusion, and they fear what they might lose. They're creating their own appetite for self-destruction and are willing to do anything to win the fight. The chorus addresses this person, telling them that their heart isn't bulletproof, and they can't conceal all the things they do on their way down. The artist is urging this person to face their pain and come out victorious, rather than falling deeper into it.
Overall, "Bulletproof" is a powerful message about the importance of confronting our pain and trauma rather than hiding from it. The lyrics urge us to face our fears head-on and to understand that our hearts are not bulletproof.
