Something's Buzzing Round Your Brain and It Won't Let Go,
Could Be Saying All You Need to Know,
It Could Control Who You Are 'til You Become a Passenger,
When All Is Said and Done,
Where Credits Due the Blame Was True,
It Isn't All Up to You.

There's Too Many People Take More Than They Can Use,

Still Too Many People Taking More Than They Can Use,
They'd Rather Drown You in Self Pity,
Than Find the Will to Live,
When There's no Consequence There's no Easy Route,
Find Your Bullet and Aim and Shoot,
When There's no Compromise no Easy Route,
Find Your Bullet and Aim and Shoot,
You've Got to Aim and Shoot.

Time Is Rushing Through Your Veins,
And It Won't Let Go,
Time Can Tell You All You Need to Know,
It Doesn't Matter Who I Am If I'm Not Part of Its Greater Plan.
When All Is Said and Done,
Where Credits Due the Blame It Isn't All Down to You.

There's Too Many People Take More Than They Can Use,
Still Too Many People Taking More Than They Can Use,
They'd Rather Drown You in Self Pity,
Than Find the Will to Live,
When There's no Compromise There's no Easy Route,
Find Your Bullet and Aim and Shoot,
When There's no Compromise no Easy Route,
Find Your Bullet and Aim and Shoot,
You've Got to Aim and Shoot.

Too Many People Taking More Than They Can Give,
Still Too Many People Taking More Than They Can Give,
There's Too Many People Taking More Than They Could Give
Still Too Many People Taking More Than They Can Give,
Time Can Tell You All You Need to Know,
Time Can Tell You All You Need to Know,
Time Can Tell You All You Need to Know,
Time Can Tell You All You Need to Know,

Too Many People Taking More Than They Can Give,
Oh There's Too Many People Taking More Than They Can Give
I'd Rather Drown You in Self Pity,
Than Find the Will to Live,
When There's no Consequence no Easy Route,
Find Your Bullet and Aim and Shoot,

Find Your Lovin' and Aim and Shoot,
Find Your Lovin' and Aim and Shoot.

Overall Meaning

The song "Bullet" by xDeathstarx addresses the issue of feeling overwhelmed by external and internal factors that seem to control our lives. The opening lines describe a buzzing sensation in your brain that won't go away, possibly a result of the overwhelming pressure to conform to societal standards. The lyrics suggest that this pressure can make you feel like a passenger in your own life, controlled by outside forces.

The chorus repeats the phrase "Too many people taking more than they can use," highlighting the idea that society is wasteful and selfish. This creates an environment where people can easily fall into self-pity instead of finding the will to live. The solution offered in the song is to find your "bullet" and aim and shoot, essentially taking control of your own life instead of letting outside forces dictate your actions.

The final verse brings up the idea of time and the fact that it can reveal all that we need to know, suggesting that life is short and we should make the most of it. The repeated phrase "too many people taking more than they can give" reinforces the idea that we should strive to be more giving and less selfish in our actions.

Overall, "Bullet" is a call to action to take control of our lives and strive to be more considerate members of society.
