Bullets
Tunng Lyrics

Green hills and enemies
The things around us, including the pleasant scenery and the hardships we face, make us feel sentimental.

Your words are gelignite
Your words are powerful and explosive, just like a gelignite.

Or just another sentimental aside
Your words may also just be another casual thing that makes us sentimental.

We're catching bullets in our teeth
We're taking on challenges and difficulties, and handling them with ease.

And though it's easy when you know how it's done
Once you figure out how to deal with such challenges, it becomes easier to handle them.

They split the secret up six ways before they gave it to us just before dawn
The solution to the problem was given to us in a cryptic way, making it difficult to understand.

And now we don't remember
We may now have forgotten how we solved the problem.

Our blood and guts are out
We're bare and exposed, revealing our true selves.

We spread our bones across the table at night
We lay our thoughts and emotions out in the open while trying to find solutions.

We cut our fingers off
We're willing to take drastic measures to gain more understanding.

To give ourselves those little extra insights
We're willing to go to great lengths to gain a better perspective and understanding of the situation.

It's hard to do but they're so sweet
Challenges may be hard to handle, but overcoming them can be rewarding.

And if they take a couple out
If we struggle and lose a few battles before winning the war, it's okay.

We try to work things out
We always strive to find solutions and make things better.

We're catching bullets with our heads and hearts and all the darkest parts of us
We're taking on challenges with everything we have, including our most vulnerable parts.

It's strange to find such light in such endless night
Despite facing dark and difficult times, there's always something positive to be found.

So sweet to lose a friend
Although it's sad to lose a friend, it can be a bittersweet experience.

You leave the church and taste the air in your lungs
You're reminded of your surroundings as you leave a sorrowful or nostalgic situation.

Old lies and fireflies
Memories of past lies and happy times can come to mind.

Carve angels on your eyes
You're moved by the moment, and it's reflected in your facial expressions.

And all is undone
Everything feels like it's come undone or fallen apart.

You whisper prayers into the dark
You release your thoughts and emotions to the universe, hoping they'll be heard.

Up to a god in whom you've never believed
You may feel like you're talking to a higher power, even though you aren't a believer.

But you always do
Despite not believing, you still hold on to hope and faith in something.

You split the secret up six ways
You try to understand the situation in all its different aspects, from every possible angle.

But it won't make it any easier to see
Despite your efforts, the situation may remain complicated and difficult to understand.

We're catching bullets in our backs
We're being hit from behind or betrayed, but still rising to the challenge.

We sent the undertaker back into the garden in the drought
We're determined to find a way to overcome obstacles, even if it seems impossible.

We're catching bullets with the best resources that we've got
We're doing everything we can to tackle challenges, using all the tools at our disposal.

We're happy then again we're not
We experience moments of happiness, but also struggle through difficult times.

We shout through the endless doubt
Despite feeling uncertain and unsure, we keep pushing forward and never give up.
