June Divided - "Bullet" (Music VIdeo)
Well hey there, thanks for checking us out! If you’ve been following us already, you probably know that we’re not a serious-bio kinda band. Because you know what they say: if you ever take life to serious, you might not get out alive…
Funny that we say that because some of the material on our new album, Backbone, is actually quite serious. After a year and a half in the industry, the band had a lot of things we wanted to say. We’ve taken risks, made bold moves and pushed ourselves pretty far. But we couldn’t be happier and so there’s a lot of fun in our music as well. I guess that kinda explains who June Divided is in a nut-shell. We’re serious about what we do, but we’re having a blast doing it.
Backbone is our first full-length album and we spent every penny and every minute we had on making it. We spent 4 (very intense) weeks in Soundmine Recording Studios with producer Alec Henninger to record it and it’s something we’re really proud of. So it would make our day if you would check it out here:

We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed creating it. Come see us at a show sometime :)
Love,
Melissa, Chris, Keith and Lenny

Bullet
June Divided Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
On everybody's colors that they hide
It's not about the way that you fall down
What matters is the way that you climb out
So climb out
When the clouds turn into thunderstorms
When your pulse starts beating a little more
But you're a bullet in a gun
You aim to pierce the heart
But you broke the ones you loved before
You try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again
You aim to pierce the heart
But sometimes you forget that you're alive
alive
alive
Everyone you know is looking out
But you can't get yourself to come around
And they're saying the things you know you didn't wanna hear
While you're just dodging bullets left and right
When the sparks ignite and turn to flames
And you watch the fire burn away
Once the smoke has cleared you're all alone
You aim to pierce the heart
But you broke the ones you loved before
You try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again
You aim to pierce the heart
But sometimes you forget that you're alive
alive
alive
alive
You're a bullet in a gun...
You aim to pierce the heart
And you broke the ones you loved before
And you try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again
If I could slow you down then maybe you would understand
That you aim to pierce the heart
But sometimes you forget that you're alive
alive alive alive alive alive
But sometimes you forget that you're alive
alive
In "Bullet in 2," June Divided presents an emotional narrative about a person struggling to come to terms with the pain they've caused in their past. The lyrics suggest that the person is looking for a way to move forward and leave their destructive past behind, while also acknowledging the difficulty of doing so. The metaphor of a bullet in a gun suggests that the person is a dangerous force to be reckoned with, but also implies that they can choose to change their trajectory and aim for a different target.
The first verse of the song suggests that the person is shedding light on the hidden emotions and motivations of those around them. This implies that they have a deeper understanding of human nature than others might, but also suggests that they are struggling to connect with others on a personal level. The chorus emphasizes the person's destructive tendencies, but also suggests that they are aware of the damage they've caused and are trying to find a way to move forward.
The second verse suggests that the person is struggling to fit in with others and connect on a deeper level. The use of the metaphor of dodging bullets suggests that the person is constantly on the defensive, perhaps because they are afraid of being hurt or rejected. The bridge of the song suggests that the person is trying to find a way to escape the pain of their past and move forward, but acknowledges that this is a difficult process.
Overall, "Bullet in 2" is a powerful song about the struggle to come to terms with one's past and move forward in a positive way.
Line by Line Meaning
Like these shed unfamiliar light
These events reveal aspects of people that are not normally seen
On everybody's colors that they hide
These events expose people's true nature that they try to conceal
It's not about the way that you fall down
It's not important how you fail or make mistakes
What matters is the way that you climb out
What matters is how you rise to overcome and learn from your failures
So climb out
Don't stay down, rise up and overcome
When the clouds turn into thunderstorms
When things become turbulent and difficult
When your pulse starts beating a little more
When you feel anxious or nervous
I wanted to believe you wouldn't run
I hoped that you wouldn't give up or flee from challenges
But you're a bullet in a gun
You're reckless and impulsive, causing harm to yourself and others
You aim to pierce the heart
You intend to hurt or wound others emotionally
But you broke the ones you loved before
But your past actions have caused irreparable damage to people close to you
You try too hard to find a way to feel it beat again
You desperately seek a way to feel alive or happy again
Sometimes you forget that you're alive
Sometimes you lose sight of what truly matters and become consumed by your pain
Everyone you know is looking out
Your friends and loved ones are concerned for your wellbeing
But you can't get yourself to come around
But you can't bring yourself to listen or accept their help
And they're saying the things you know you didn't wanna hear
And they're giving you advice that you don't want to hear but need to acknowledge
While you're just dodging bullets left and right
While you're avoiding dealing with your issues and causing new problems
When the sparks ignite and turn to flames
When small problems become large and dangerous
And you watch the fire burn away
And you see the consequences of your actions and the damage you've caused
Once the smoke has cleared you're all alone
Once the situation has settled, you find yourself isolated and facing the aftermath
If I could slow you down then maybe you would understand
If I could help you take a step back and reflect, maybe you would comprehend

@xWhytephoenix
There is no better feeling than remembering a classic song from an underground band you used to jam before basketball tournaments back in grade school. Really wish JD had blown up. Still one of my top 10 favorite songs of all time.
@DorothyOzmaLover
10 years later this song is still sooooo good & does music riiiiight!
@kevin.aguirre
Any idea what happened to them? They didn't release any album. They must be in their 30s already.
@Shushonet
Really refreshing to listen to something light but beautiful. Great vocalist and guitarists.
@crosstolerance
That drummer is killing it!
@Superbio
Maybe they're not "rule breakers", but I just can't stop listening to this song over and over again. Melissa, live forever, please...
@loane4170
