Beretta
Matt Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I need you like a substance
You just wanna dance, be a part of someone's plan
But you always felt alone
Clouded was my conscience, I miss you in abundance
I pushed you away, did you really wanna stay,
Can I get parole
I'm doing things to get a buzz
Used to wear you on my waist
Then you put it to my face,
Bang Bang Beretta
Even helped you load the gun
Rob myself of all your love
Used to wear you on my waist
Then you put it to my face
Bang Bang Beretta
Press the steel against me
Your warmth is set in my skin
I still have our gold in a bag in the closet
But to you it's only dirt
I made a confession
And it got me sentenced
While you walk away without any of the blame
Where did we go wrong
I'm doing things to get a buzz
It never hits me like your love
Used to wear you on my waist
Then you put it to my face,
Bang Bang Beretta
Even helped you load the gun
Rob myself of all your love
Used to wear you on my waist
Then you put it to my face
Bang Bang Beretta
Used to wear you on my waist, then you put it to my face
Bang bang beretta
The lyrics of Matt Black's song Beretta are complex and interpretive, but ultimately tell a story of a tumultuous love affair that ends in tragedy. The opening line "You provide me comfort" suggests that the singer is seeking solace in their lover, who they depend on like a substance. However, it soon becomes clear that the relationship is troubled, and the lover just wants to dance and be a part of someone's plan. The singer feels alone and confused, with a clouded conscience that misses their lover in abundance. Yet they push them away, wondering if they truly wanted to stay. The line "Can I get parole" suggests that the singer is imprisoned in some way, perhaps metaphorically trapped in their own self-destructive habits.
The lyrics become more ominous when the singer starts talking about a Beretta gun that they used to wear on their waist, but their lover eventually put it to their face. The repetition of the phrase "Bang bang Beretta" is chilling, and it becomes apparent that the gun represents their mutual destruction. The singer even helped load the gun, showing their complicity in their own downfall. They admit to doing things to get a buzz, but nothing hits them like their lover's love, indicating that they are ultimately unfulfilled and seeking meaning in all the wrong places. The closing lines are haunting: "Used to wear you on my waist, then you put it to my face / Bang bang Beretta."
Overall, the lyrics of Beretta are a cautionary tale about the dangers of obsession and self-destruction. The gun serves as a metaphor for the destructive tendencies that can lurk within our psyches, and the singer's complicated relationship with their lover reflects the complexities of dealing with our darkest impulses.

You provide me comfort
I need you like a substance
you just wanna dance, be a part of someone’s plan
but you always felt alone
Clouded was my conscience, I miss you in abundance
I pushed you away, did you really wanna stay,
Can I get parole
I’m doing things to get a buzz
It never hits me like your love
Used to wear you on my waist
Then you put it to my face,

Even helped you load the gun
Rob myself of all your love
Used to wear you on my waist
Then you put it to my face
Bang Bang Beretta (etta etta)

Comparing a person to a substance . People either use or abuse substances. Those are not good roles for anyone to be into. And when you introduce also a gun into that situation It's a disaster waiting to happen. That said , I usually Love your channel a lot. It's very good and I think can be even better.👌
