Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides
Pierce The Veil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everyone is watching you
Told you why I see no need for the sun
I've found a reason to say
A love you light is a love soon gone
If this is it
Don't bother cause this love is a lie
You're a mechanical bride
When every vein is red out of the blue
I held a diamond to the sun
To count the moments on account of the way you
Smile for me
Oh, we're in slow motion when you
Smile for me
But oh my God I've been looking
But I still hold your breath so you won't leave
Pastel red and porn star white
Ghost on the altar
We breathe don't leave
Say that the night sings alone
And if there's a God
Then I'm letting Him go
All for you
You alone
Raise my hands
At the thought of you leaving me alone
What if I still care
Don't torture me or beg me
Can you make me believe in tiring
As you fall fast asleep it reminds me
Of the slow symphonies behind me
They sing along
All the nightmares you'll see tomorrow
All the stars on your ceiling they glow
But not for you
Through the trees I'll blow
The song Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides by Pierce the Veil is a powerhouse piece of music that explores themes of love, addiction, and the fear of abandonment. The opening lines, "Like a rush shot through you, everyone is watching you," suggest a feeling of pressure and scrutiny. The singer then declares that they "see no need for the sun" because they've found a reason to live in the form of their love. However, there's a sense of danger and urgency to their statement, as they describe love as "a love you light is a love soon gone."
As the song progresses, the singer reveals that they're a "chemical kid" and their lover is a "mechanical bride." These descriptions evoke images of artificiality and a lack of humanity. The singer seems to feel trapped in their addiction to their lover, who is perhaps emotionally distant or unresponsive. They ask, "Can you make me believe in tiring?" implying that they're tired of the constant cycle of addiction and the fear of being left alone.
Throughout the song, there's a sense of desperation and fervor in the singer's voice. The lines "Raise my hands at the thought of you leaving me alone" and "Don't torture me or beg me" suggest a fear of abandonment and a desire to cling on to their lover at all costs. Overall, Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides is an intense exploration of love and addiction, with powerful and evocative lyrics.

All the problems that might arise in the future.
All the stars on your ceiling they glow
All the stars on the ceiling of your room shine brightly, illuminating everything around you.
But not for you
Sadly, you won't be here to see those stars.
Through the trees I'll blow
Inevitably, I'll drift away like a breeze through the trees.

Like a rush shot through you
Everyone is watching you
Told you why I see no need for the sun
(I've found a reason to say)
A love you light is a love soon gone
If this is it
Don't bother cause this love is a lie
I'm a chemical kid
You're a mechanical bride
(When every vein is red out of the blue)
I held a diamond to the sun
To count the moments on account of the way you
Smile, smile for me
(Oh, we're in slow motion when you)
Smile, smile for me
But, oh my God, I've been looking
But I still hold your breath so you won't leave
Pastel-red and porn star-white
Ghost on the altar
We breathe, don't leave
Say that the night sings alone
And if there's a God
Then I'm letting Him go
All for you, you alone
Raise my hands
At the thought of you leaving me alone
What if I... what if I...
What if I, I still care?
Don't torture me or beg me
Can you make me believe in tiring?
As you fall fast asleep, it reminds me
Of the slow symphonies behind me
(They sing along)
All the nightmares you'll see tomorrow
All the stars on your ceiling
They glow but not for you
Through the trees, I'll blow

@TheDeskBuddies
Basically what I think it means, is that he's madly in love with a girl who either dosen't love him back, or dosen't anymore. And he's basically saying he'd do anything for her and is still going to fight for her.
When he says "I've found a reason to say: A love you light is a love soon gone"
He's basically saying that the girl has shown him that once you start a relationship or something, it can be over just as fast as you started.
I think it's extremely beautiful when he says " But i still hold your breath so you won't leave, pastel red and pron star white. Ghost on the alter we breathe don't leavee.."
Basically saying that he does whatever he can for her and gives up so much so that she will stay. And I think he means that he's made a mistake but is still telling her not to leave.
And then of course "And if there's a god then i'm letting him go, all for you. you alone"
That's pretty simple. Saying he'd give up almost anything for her.
And then my absolute favorite part ever is the end. when he says "All the stars on your ceiling they glow but not for you.." I think he means good things are going to still happen in her life, but they aren't going to be for her. Kinda like how the stars glow for everyonee not just one person in specific, one person isn't going to make the stars not glow anymore. So he's saying that she isn't going to keep good things from happening for the sake of everyone else.
And then he says "through the trees i'll blowwww" meaning he'll always be there for her, or in her conscious kind of. Even though she can't see him. Just how when you see the wind moving the trees you know it's there, you just can't see it.
@Donniedrako
The house represents their relationship, or his attraction towards the girl. He feels trapped in the house because he cant escape the thought of her even if tried. The lights represent his feelings for her, the light in the darkness flickering on and off again. But because theyre both obviously different (a rocker kid in dark clothes, and a preppy girly girl in white,) the relationship cant work. Thats why she tells him "I am a prisoner of your own mind," followed by "you have to let go of..." At the end he accepts the fact that their relationship wouldnt work. So he finally sets her free. He nods his head, accepting the truth, right before the door opens for him as he's ready to leave the 'house.'
