Bullet
Slot Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

With strangest diagonal motion again
Pushing the temple, by dragging the hand
Cold of the gun, death has begun
Bullet is killing the moon and the sun.

Bullet is scratching the wind in blood
Always remember the book of love
Two or three seconds to learn

All you have got

Madly laughing, shooting an' breathing,
Playing the God, while he's still sleeping.

With finger, that silently trigged the script
Bullet flew and your brain could shift
Another gun now kills the sun
It was the bell, that for you just rung!

Bullet is scratching the wind in blood
Won't we play for sometime in love?
Two or three seconds to live
All you have got

Balistics ain't just for stupid films
Bullet kills everyone not in dreams

Wind has been scratched up alive in blood
What is this feeling I feel? Not love.
Dead and alive you have been
During your life

Bullet is scratching the wind in blood
I have lost everyting. The stars
Looking cold on the blood

As quick as the shout you've been dead
The void is shining through your head!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Slot's song "Bullet" revolve around the theme of death caused by a bullet. The verses describe a person who is madly shooting and playing God, while others are still sleeping. The chorus is about how the bullet scratches the wind in blood and kills both the moon and the sun. The lines "Cold of the gun, death has begun" and "Bullet flew and your brain could shift" indicate the vast impact of the bullet that changes everything in a split second.

The second half of the song is about the consequences of the bullet's impact. The lines "Two or three seconds to learn, All you have got" and "Two or three seconds to live, All you have got" suggest that life is fleeting and that we should make the most of the time we have. The lyrics also emphasize that a bullet does not discriminate; it can kill anyone, not just in dreams, and one can be dead and alive at the same time.

The song "Bullet" is a powerful statement on the effects of violence and the need to value life. It speaks to the senselessness of death caused by a bullet and encourages listeners to appreciate the time they have.
