Bulletproof
Final Story Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I watch with blinded eyes
I act with a shattered mind
When I collide with you
I wish I could be bulletproof

I try to keep my distance, I try not to feel
any need to listen to the words you speak

I'm caught Inside myself
I suffer again and again
Your voice resides like a siren
and pushes aside all my guidance
My hands are tied, as long as you're my kryptonite
You take me out like a sickness
There is no cure against it

You make me feel like I'm
cursed to die inside
Whenever I'm beside you
I get lost in time
I lose my pure conscience
and I can't define
why my world is getting wrecked, when you're by my side

All hell is set loose
I wish I could be bulletproof

I could be bulletproof

I'm looking down the barrel and you're ready to shoot
cause I keep acting like there's nothing to lose
How did I get lost in your wreckage?
And why am I not ready to abandon it?

I gspür di wenn da bisch - Du gspürsch wieni ga will - I merk wie di Blick i mer idrengt bis alls stirbt - Ke chance zum wägcho - Jedes Wort ä Schwärtstoss - I wehrlos und wärtlos - solang dass das Härz schloht

Du gsesch i me - mini Ouge för de Faischter - Die Sache wo du gseit hesch verfouge mi wie Geister - I glaube ned das ergendwas mi wägbringt - du häbsch me - i kämpf blind - im Gägewind - gäge de - gäge me
I bruche de - wöu du bisch Liideschaft - Wöu weni liide - schafft das Härz hie tusigfach - Ohni de wördi stärbe - mis Läbe si Schärbä - Doch häbe hie zämä solang mi lasch Läbe

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Final Story's song Bulletproof express the singer's struggle with a toxic relationship. The first verse describes a feeling of detachment and disorientation when confronted with the person they're singing about. The singer tries to keep their distance but finds themselves drawn in by the other's voice, which has a hypnotic quality. The chorus repeats the refrain "I wish I could be bulletproof", a desire to protect oneself from the harm caused by the other person.

The second verse delves deeper into the singer's feelings. They describe feeling cursed and losing their sense of self when around the other person. They're aware of the destruction that's caused, but they cannot help their attraction to the other. The pre-chorus builds up to the same feeling of vulnerability expressed in the first verse, and the chorus repeats, emphasizing the wish to be impervious to the other's impact.

The final verse is in a different language (German), adding to the sense of disorientation that runs throughout the song. It seems to express the idea that the singer is lost in the other person's world and cannot escape, even though they know it's tearing them apart. The song ends with the same refrain as before, a plea to become bulletproof and protect themselves from the damage caused by the other.

Overall, "Bulletproof" is a poignant song about the struggle to break free of a toxic relationship. It expresses a sense of helplessness and despair that many people may relate to, with its message of self-preservation being important for anyone in a similar situation.
