The Cheap Bouquet
Pierce The Veil Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Stay young
And at the top of our lungs
Our hands are free
Our lives have just begun
It's getting dark we should go back
But what's the use if what you love is what you have
And I could die right now
For something beautiful to take me somewhere else

Oh, I try
But I can't calm down
As I drag myself along these severed hands
Are doing the very best they can
I'm gonna buy a cheap bouquet
Before it dies on the display

Gonna break down
Break down the better side of me
The better side of me
Well I know, I know
If I die young

Then we can wake up screaming in your bed
And our lungs are begging us to calm down
And I scare myself with all that talk of severing
Doing the best or so it seems
You've been mistaken

Your finger is on the scale
Burn like you never have before
Stop, drop and roll don't work in hell
So what if I forget regret
So what if I
So what if I forget regret
I want you to know that I
That I've wrote this line a thousand times Forget regret
This must be the way it ends
Calm down

As I drag myself along these severed hands
Are doing the very best they can
As I drive my car into the sea
I taste you like a hammer through my teeth
Will someone tell me what it means

To be alive
It feels just like the feeling when you die
Oh, alright
I'm dead and I don't care if it's cold outside anymore




So come on
Let's have some fun

Overall Meaning

The song "The Cheap Bouquet" by Pierce the Veil is about the desire to stay young and live life without regrets. The lyrics encourage the listener to scream and let out their emotions, even if it gets scary. It speaks to the fear of growing old and losing the excitement of youth. The singer of the song doesn't want to waste time on things that don't matter or on people who don't make them feel alive. The lyrics paint a picture of reckless abandon, driving a car into the sea, and tasting life like a hammer between one's teeth.


The melody of the song is energetic and fast-paced, which fits well with the theme of living in the moment. The chorus is uplifting and encourages the listener to let go of their fears and worries. The verses, on the other hand, are more introspective and talk about the singer's struggle with anxiety and fear of death. The bridge section is particularly powerful, as it repeats the phrase "forget regret" over and over, as if to affirm that the best way to live life is to let go of the past and focus on the present.


Line by Line Meaning

Stay young
Let's try to retain the spirit of youth


And at the top of our lungs
Let's scream our heart out, expressing our happiness


Our hands are free
We have power over our lives


Our lives have just begun
We still have a lot to explore and experience, don't waste time


It's getting dark we should go back
We must accept the harsh reality before it's too late


But what's the use if what you love is what you have
Enjoy the moment, as what we have is what we love the most


And I could die right now
I wish to have a beautiful escape from life


For something beautiful to take me somewhere else
I crave something extraordinary to happen in life


Oh, I try
I'm trying my best


But I can't calm down
I'm too restless and anxious


As I drag myself along these severed hands
I'm struggling to deal with broken relationships


Are doing the very best they can
Trying hard to make things better


I'm gonna buy a cheap bouquet
I'll buy a simple yet beautiful thing to bring joy


Before it dies on the display
Before it loses its freshness and beauty


Gonna break down
I'm about to crumble emotionally


Break down the better side of me
I'm losing the best version of myself


Well I know, I know
I acknowledge the facts


If I die young
In case I don't live long enough


Then we can wake up screaming in your bed
We won't be alive to witness reality, so no worries


And our lungs are begging us to calm down
Trying to calm our racing heartbeats


And I scare myself with all that talk of severing
Intense fearful thoughts haunt me


Doing the best or so it seems
Trying our best to handle challenges


You've been mistaken
Your perspective may be wrong


Your finger is on the scale
You're cheating, manipulating, or influencing unfairly


Burn like you never have before
Let passion and excitement fuel you beyond your limits


Stop, drop and roll don't work in hell
Certain mistakes can't be undone, regrets can be intense


So what if I forget regret
Why worry about past mistakes, we can't change them now


I want you to know that I
I need you to understand


That I've wrote this line a thousand times Forget regret
I've been reflecting a lot, and it's time to move on


This must be the way it ends
The reality is harsh and final


As I drive my car into the sea
I've given up on life


I taste you like a hammer through my teeth
I'm still holding onto the memories of a loved one


Will someone tell me what it means
I'm confused and seeking answers


To be alive
What does it take to feel alive?


It feels just like the feeling when you die
The intensity of feeling alive is close to that of dying


Oh, alright
I'll go through with this


I'm dead and I don't care if it's cold outside anymore
I'm numb to everything


So come on
Let's do this anyway, doesn't matter anymore


Let's have some fun
Let's experience something, anything - doesn't matter what

Mantente joven y en la cima de nuestros pulmones
Nuestras manos son gratis
Nuestras vidas acaban de comenzar
Está oscureciendo, deberíamos regresar
¿Pero de qué sirve si lo que amas es lo que tienes?
Y podría morir ahora mismo
Para que algo hermoso me lleve a otro lado
Oh, trato de calmarme
Mientras me arrastro a lo largo de estas manos cercenadas
(Manos cerradas) Están haciendo lo mejor que pueden
Voy a comprar un ramo barato
Antes de que muera en la pantalla
(Se romperá)
Rompe el lado mejor de mí
(El mejor lado de mi)
Bueno, lo sé, sé que si muero joven
Entonces podemos despertar gritando en tu cama
Y nuestros pulmones nos ruegan que nos calmemos
Y me asusto con toda esa charla de cortar
Haciendo lo mejor o eso parece
(Has estado equivocado)
Tu dedo está en la balanza
(Grabar como nunca antes
Parar, soltar y rodar no funcionan en el infierno)
Entonces, ¿qué pasa si me olvido del arrepentimiento?
¿Y qué si yo ...
Entonces, ¿qué pasa si me olvido del arrepentimiento?
¿Y qué si yo ...
¿Y qué si yo ...
¿Y qué si yo ...
¿Y qué si yo ...
Quiero que sepas que yo ...
Que he escrito esta línea mil veces

Olvidar arrepentirse
Esta debe ser la forma en que termina
Cálmate mientras me arrastro
Estas manos cortadas están haciendo lo mejor que pueden
Mientras conduzco mi auto hacia el mar
(Te gusto como un martillo a través de mis dientes)
¿Alguien me dirá qué significa estar vivo?
Se siente como la sensación cuando mueres
Oh, está bien, estoy muerto y ya no me importa si hace frío afuera.
Así que vamos, divirtámonos un poco
