Bulletproof Love
Pierce the Veil Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(Backyard light)
We used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights
(Wasted nights)
It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone
(Sleep alone)
So darling, don't, don't wake me up, 'cause my thrill is gone
(Say I'm wrong)
Forever and alone
Yeah!
You've gone and sewn me to this bed, the taste of you and me
(You and me)
Will never leave my lips again under the blinding rain
(Blinding rain)
I wanna hold your hand so tight I'm gonna break my wrist
(Break my wrist)
And when the vultures sing tonight I'm gonna join right in
I'll sing along, oh
'Cause I don't know any other song
I'll sing along
But I'm barely hanging on
No, I'm barely hanging on
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone
And now there's nothing to do but scream at the drunken moon
This isn't fair!
(No!)
Don't you try to blame this on me
(Ohhh)
My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me
And God damn it, I can barely say your name
So I'll try to write and fill the pen with blood from the sink
Woah oh, oh oh
But don't just say it, you should sing my name
Pretend that it's a song 'cause forever it's yours
And we can sing this on the way home
I'll sing along
(Oh)
'Cause I don't know any other song
(Oh oh)
I'll sing along
But I'm barely hanging on
No, I'm barely hanging on
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone
And now there's nothing to do but tear my voice apart
Nothing to do
And scream at the drunken moon
The lyrics in Pierce the Veil's song Bulletproof Love explore the themes of love, loss, and betrayal. The opening lines describe a nostalgic memory of the past, with the singer reminiscing about the good times spent with their partner in the backyard, laughing and smoking. However, the tone of the song quickly changes as the singer reveals that their relationship has since ended and they are now sleeping alone. Despite this, the singer asks not to be woken up, as they have lost the thrill of love and do not want to face the reality of their situation.
The second verse continues the theme of loss, as the singer describes being tied down to their bed, unable to escape thoughts of their relationship. They yearn to hold their partner's hand so tightly that they will break their wrist, but it is too late. The relationship has already ended, and the heartbreak is too much to bear. The chorus repeats the sentiment that the singer is barely hanging on, and by the time their partner hears their message, it will be too late. The bridge features angry and resentful lines, directed at the partner who shot them despite their love being "bulletproof". The song ends with an irrational outburst, screaming at the "drunken moon" with no clear resolution to the singer's feelings.
Overall, the song is a poignant exploration of the pain, confusion, and anger that comes with the end of a relationship. The lyrics are emotionally charged and raw, reflecting the intense feelings associated with heartbreak.
Line by Line Meaning
I breathe you in with smoke in the backyard lights
I still feel your presence in the memories we shared under the shining stars
We used to laugh until we choked into the wasted nights
We enjoyed each other's company so much that we laughed until the early hours of the morning
It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone
The time I spent with you was the happiest in my life, but now I sleep alone, missing you
So darling, don't, don't wake me up, 'cause my thrill is gone
Please don't wake me up from this dream because the joy of being with you has vanished
In the sunset turning red behind the smoke
As the sun sets and disappears behind the smokescreen, so does my hope of being together
Forever and alone
I am destined to be alone for eternity
You've gone and sewn me to this bed, the taste of you and me
You have made me a prisoner in my own bed, and the lingering taste of you and our love is all I have left
Will never leave my lips again under the blinding rain
The memories we shared will never be forgotten, even in the harshest of conditions
I wanna hold your hand so tight I'm gonna break my wrist
I want to hold you so tightly that I will endure extreme pain, and even risk physical injury
And when the vultures sing tonight I'm gonna join right in
I am so desperate for your company that I would even join the scavengers' cry for death
I'll sing along, oh
I will sing my heart out
'Cause I don't know any other song
This is the only song I know, and it is about you
But I'm barely hanging on
But I am barely surviving without you
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone
By the time you hear this, I will be long gone, as I cannot bear the pain of being without you
And now there's nothing to do but scream at the drunken moon
All I can do now is scream and shout at the moon, which has no power to bring us back together
This isn't fair!
Life is not fair, and now I am left alone without you
Don't you try to blame this on me
Do not try to pin the blame on me for the end of our love story
My love for you was bulletproof but you're the one who shot me
My love for you was strong and impenetrable, but it was you who caused the death of our love
And God damn it, I can barely say your name
It is heartbreaking to admit, but I am finding it difficult to even say your name, such is the depth of my sorrow
So I'll try to write and fill the pen with blood from the sink
I will attempt to write a letter to express my feelings, using the blood from my wounds, which are still raw
But don't just say it, you should sing my name
Don't just say my name, it deserves to be a song, forever in your heart
Pretend that it's a song 'cause forever it's yours
Imagine it to be a beautiful song, as it will forever be yours to cherish
And we can sing this on the way home
We could have sung this song together on our way home, once upon a time
No, I'm barely hanging on
I am barely managing to hold on and keep going without you
And now there's nothing to do but tear my voice apart
I am now left with nothing to do but scream and shout, which is literally tearing my voice apart
Nothing to do
There is nothing left to do but to grieve and long for what we had

[Intro]
I'll breathe you in with smoke in the backyard light
We used to laugh until we choked, into the wasted nights
It was the best time of my life, but now I sleep alone
So don't, don't, don't wake me up, cause my thrill is gone
Say I'm wrong in the sunset turning red behind the smoke
Forever and alone
Yeah
[Verse 1]
And you've gone and sewn me to this bed
The taste of you and me will never leave my lips again
Under the blinding rain
I wanna hold your hand so tight, I'm gonna break my wrists
And when the vultures sing tonight, I'm gonna join right in
[Chorus]
I'll sing along, (Oh, oh, oh)
Because I don't know any other song
I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on
No, I'm barely hanging on
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone
And now there's nothing to do but scream at the drunken moon
[Verse 2]
This isn't fair, no, don't you try to blame this on me
My love for you was bulletproof, but you're the one who shot me
And goddammit, I can barely say your name
So, I'll try to write it and fill the pen with blood from the sink
Woah. Oh
But, don't just say it, you should sing my name
Pretend that it's a song because forever, it's yours
And we can sing this on the way home
[Chorus 2]
I'll sing along, (Oh, oh, oh)
Cause I don't know any other song
I'll sing along, but I'm barely hanging on
No, I'm barely hanging on
By the time you're hearing this I'll already be gone
But, there's nothing to do, but tear my voice apart
There's nothing to do, but scream at the drunken moon
