Bullet
Injected Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You're coming home to an empty space inside of you,
There's no other place.
You're wondering hard what you're here for,
But every night you still walk out that door.

You're just a screwed up kid,
Who doesn't know who he is
Fights the words in his head,
Screams he's better off dead.
Met a punk with a dis
Wants a fight and now you're pissed
It's already too late
Sawed off your hate

What did you sell your soul for?
Was it a gun and a bullet and a chance at revenge?
You got props from your boys on the block,
A cross to bear that never ends
What did you sink so low for?
Was it the time and the space and the spit in your face?
Props from the cops and the court
A sin you can't erase

He caught you looking his way
Hands in the air, what the hell'd ya say?
I know something sad but true
That motherfucker was as scared as you.

You're just a screwed up kid,
Who doesn't know who he is
Fights the words in his head,
Screams he's better off dead.
Met a punk like you
What the fuck you gonna do?
Point the piece at his eyes
You never realized

Sell it with a pistol in the sack.
They push you so hard, gonna push right back.




Sell it and don't put up a fight
Your life has just started but it all ends tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Injected's song "Bullet" are a poignant and dramatic exploration of the emptiness and confusion felt by a disillusioned and angry protagonist. In the first stanza, we hear the singer's sense of existential desolation and the futility of their daily routine. The self-loathing and despair come to a head in the chorus, where the singer laments the loss of their sense of self and the social pressure to conform to toxic and violent behaviors.


The second stanza introduces the motif of the punk - the rage-filled and socially marginalized figure who is both a threat and a potential ally to the singer. Here, we see the singer's violent tendencies become more pronounced, and their feelings of anger and betrayal escalate. In the bridge, the singer confronts the overarching question of what they have lost and what they have gained through their cycle of violence. The final stanza brings the song to its climax, where the singer must face the consequences of their actions and the reality that their life may soon be cut tragically short.


Overall, "Bullet" is a haunting and powerful meditation on the cyclical nature of violence and the emptiness that comes with it. The lyrics force the listener to confront the reality of being trapped in a kind of hell, and the desperate search for a way out.
