Chemical Kids And Mechanical Brides Pierce The Veil

this song seems to be about someone losing the love of their life, and if they could get this person back, they would give it all. "...All for you, you alone, raise my hands at the thought of you leaving me alone"

Besitos Pierce The Veil

This song very openly features the Spanish side of Pierce The Veil's music. We always try to incorporate at least a hint of Latin influence in every song, but with this one, we just went all the way with it. Lyrically, it's about my dysfunctional relationship with a girl I couldn't stop hurting over and over again. It's meant to be her speaking to me, asking me why I'm not satisfied with what we had. I wanted to write it from her perspective to try and understand what she was going through at the time. It ends with her wanting to kill me for all the stuff I've put her through.

A Match Into Water Pierce The Veil

the amazing thing about this song is that, even though it was obviously written about vic's friend, it can be interpreted into many other things. you can see it as the way it was supposed to be or by the way i saw it before i knew what it was about: a girl dealing with self harm, depression, etc and vic begging god to bring the "old" girl back, the one before all of the depression.

(Don't Fear) The Reaper Pierce The Veil

I think this song is basically saying not to fear death or the end, and to take risks as the reaper is usually a symbol of death. The reference of Romeo and Juliet is saying how they embraced death and now will be forever together. At first I thought the last verse was describing the balcony scene in Romeo & Juliet but now I'm not so sure, it almost sounds like suicide.;

One Hundred Sleepless Nights Pierce The Veil

The first verse is basically self explanatory, but the chorus (But I don't see your face, Taken by the one-hearted race home now, But don't tell your other man, I got a hell of a plan. Failing lights, A mass one hundred sleepless nights, And I might be holding on too tight. But there is a beast in my heart and. He won't let you leave alive.) The guy is planning to kill his ex GF's new BF, and the failing lights are police sirens and amass one hundred sleepless nights is him in jail for one hundred nights and he cant sleep. And no matter how much he gets in trouble he's gonna kill the new guy in his ex's life.

Hell Above Pierce The Veil

This is obviously about the torment that VIC faces at home, the conflict between his parents and within himself, hostility is being forced upon him, not necessarily through words but the act of nothingness. They do not gesture him with love-( 'The consequence is if I leave I'm alone, but what's the difference when you beg for love?') . He emphasis's the breakdown of his former life, his only retreat 'a wasteland', the demonic necessity in his words is ironic as a majority of teens fall helpless to suicide and self harm...'Don't let me fall' .

Falling Asleep On a Stranger Pierce The Veil

This song is about how she left him and now to try and get over her he is just sleeping with pretty much anyone he meets, he knows he will get hurt if he goes back with her but he still wants her, but he is smart enough to just leave it be and not put himself through the hurt again, she is suffocating him with words that he wanted to hear before "pull the note out of my throat" but he doesn't want to hear it because he knows better than to be with her

Yeah Boy And Doll Face Pierce The Veil

well i think this song is about a boy and a girl, who were obviously inlove at a time, but something happened, they broke up, and later, the boy realizes he still loves this girl, but than he finds out, the relationship doesn't mean anything to her anymore, and he's doubting if it really meant anything to her in the first place.
but thats my opinion. 
I also think  it's about a relationship going wrong, and the girl leaves him.
He doesn't even know who she is anymore, after all whats happened. He tries to kill himself by cutting; 'How do you know how deep to go before it's real?" The beginning is pretty self explanatory. The whole song is about the bittersweet feelings he has for this girl, how he will still lover her no matter what happens and what she does.

Suicide Season Bring Me The Horizon

I have a feeling this is going to be wierd but, this is one of the most powerful song I have ever heard, and probably ever will. It really hits home. This is what I think.
"We stare at broken clocks, the hands don't turn anymore"

This might be referring to someone that has passed on, and their heart doesn't beat anymore.
"The day you lost him, I slowly lost you too
For when he died, he took a part of you"

When someone loses someone that meant alot to them, they might get sent into depression or become "anti social". This may have happened, and the person that has been affected the most may have became more introverted.

"No time for farewells, no chances for goodbyes
No explanations, no fucking reasons why
I watched it eat you up, pieces fallen on the floor"

Sudden death, suicide. The title explains it all. 
I think this verse is speaking directly to/about the person that commited suicide. There was no note, explanation or warning that this was going to happen. Oli knew that there was something wrong, and whatever it was, it took over the persons life.

"If only sorrow could build a staircase, our tears would show the way
I would climb my way to Heaven, and bring him back home again"

This is showing the sorrow that Oli has for the unfortunate person who has lost someone. He wants to bring this person back, just to have a friend back. He wants to feel normal. He wants to believe that his sorrow and tears could make his life the way it used to be.

"Death is only a chapter
So let's rip out the pages of yesterday
Death is only a horizon
And I'm ready for my sun... to set"

Death is a chapter in life, craved or not. He obviously wants to let the past go. 
Death is a horizon, which only lasts for so long. 

This is my interpretation, so its probably not true. Either way, its about suicide and knowing someone that lost a friend and is having a hard time coping with it.

Stay Away From My Friends Pierce The Veil

I really think this song is symbolic for Depression and all the illnesses that come with it. I don't agree with those who say it has any part to do with sex.

"Waking up your neighbors downstairs,
I've been inside your bedroom a thousand years.
And as you tie me to the bed for good I say
that I want you in the most unromantic way."

This part is about Depression itself. It's bothering the neighbors because maybe he can't sleep at night so he plays music. Or maybe he's tried to commit suicide and the police sirens wake them up. It's been inside his bedroom for a thousand years means he just can't get rid of it. It feels like it's always been here and he doesn't think it'll leave. The bed part is not about sex. It's about the way depression ties you to the bed. When your depressed you don't feel like getting up or doing anything so this commits you to your bed. Vic saying he wants it in the most unromantic way might sound a little messed up but it just simply means he wished it would stop leading him to the bed. I guess that does include a sexual reference but he isn't talking about it that way. He is simply staying stop keeping me in the bed (be=romantic vic wants unromantic) and let me do something. Let me be motivated.

Chelsea Smile Bring Me The Horizon

I have an interesting take on this song. I believe this song is a sequel to Pray for Plagues from the girls point of view. 
Depending on how you interpret Pray for Plagues it all basically comes down to Oli knowing a whore and how it messed up her life. If you look closely he uses some of the same words.

Before Oli says, "Eradicate this disease" he says "Christ I'm asking you for just one thing." That one thing would be to help the whore he knows.
In Chelsea Smile when he says, "I look up to the sky, there may be nothing there to see. But if I don't believe in Him, why would He believe in me?" I believe it's from the girls point of view and her internal conflict with God and His existence and/or His love for her.

Furthermore, when Oli says, "I may look happy, but honestly dear, the only way I'll really smile is if you cut me ear to ear. I see the vultures, they watch me bleed, they lick their lips as all the shame spills out of me." I think the girl is saying how she regrets her actions so much it's almost impossible to make her smile/happy. I think the vultures he talks about are men who see she's filled with shame and see her as an easy target to be taken advantage of. "They lick their lips, as all the shame spills out of me." Maybe the girl is venting her problems to a man and all he sees is an easy target as he licks his lips.

Sorry if I wasn't clear on anything but I really love this song and thought I'd throw this out. I don't know if it's correct but I'd love to read more interpretations.

Hold On Til May Pierce The Veil

 I believe this song is about suicide. I realize this sounds rather negative, but I really think this song is uplifting and beautiful. It's not simply about death, its about fighting to keep someone you love alive. It's about doing all you can to make someone believe that they will be okay and have to keep fighting. In specific the connection between these two people seems to be romantic. The girl is the one who is committing suicide, and the boy is trying to save her. That's just how the song is written, so that's how I'll explain it in further context, but it really can be interpreted vice versa, or it can be a family member, friend, etc. trying to save a loved one.

Blink 182 All The Small Things

This song was written for Tom Delonge's wife Jennifer Jenkins, she complained that he always wrote songs about other girls, so he wrote this one for her. He was worried it would be really shit and she would be annoyed so he kept telling her that it was really terrible but turned out to be a hit! And for the lyrics "she left me roses by the stairs" is actually true, when Delonge was working late Jenkins left him roses on top of the stairs 

Oli Sykes Lead Vocalist for Bring Me The Horizon Bio

Oli Sykes early life: Oliver Sykes was born 20 November 1986 in Ashford, Kent, England. As a baby, he moved to Australia with his parents, Ian and Carol Sykes, moving between Adelaide and Perth during a period of about six years. The family returned to the United Kingdom when Sykes was about eight, settling in Stocksbridge in Sheffield, South Yorkshire. As a teenager, he attended Stocksbridge High School.

In 2003, while still in school, he began crafting compilation CDs and short tracks under the name Quakebeat. He also played in the mock hip-hop band "Womb 2 Da Tomb" with his brother Tom Sykes and fellow Bring Me the Horizon member Matt Nicholls, and in metal band "Purple Curto" with Neil Whiteley, as the drummer/vocalist under the pseudonym "Olisaurus", which he would later use when releasing solo material.

His Personal life: Since the age of 12, Sykes has suffered from a form of night terrors known as Sleep Paralysis, which is the inability to move during sleep.

Sykes became a vegetarian in 2003 after watching a documentary about animal cruelty online, "When I saw how animals are tortured on factory farms, I couldn't justify being a part of that cruelty." He went on to become one of the faces for PETA, eventually designing charity T-shirts with the slogan "Meat Sucks" via his Drop Dead clothing line. He later became a vegan in 2013. Sykes has been quoted as saying he is an atheist, "I don't believe in God. I was asked to believe in him when I was in this bad place. I couldn't understand why I needed a god or, in my opinion, something that doesn't exist."

After receiving the Album of the Year award at the first Alternative Press Music Awards in 2014, Sykes revealed a history of addiction and abuse of the drug Ketamine. Addressing the crowd, he said "My band wanted to kill me, my parents wanted to kill me, my fucking brother wanted to kill me," and also admitted, "I went to rehab for a month, and you guys were sending me texts and e-mails. When I got out of that rehab, I didn't want to scream anymore, I wanted to sing from the fucking rooftops."

On 12 July 2015 in Tuscany, Italy, Sykes married model and tattoo artist Hannah Pixie Snowdon.

Hospital For Souls Bring Me The Horizon

The thing i like about his songs is that he uses his life ,, he puts his feelings into his songs ,, but that people can really take the songs and interpret it into their own lives i never ever felt so much emotions in songs as when i heard oliis music ... if you listen to this song it could be about love because he says no matter how fucked you get its always there when you come back down (meaning you know when you try to drown your sadness of being dumbed with geting high or drinking till you so pissed ? now wat hes tryna say is that hes obviously been with a girl ,, and she doesnt like the dark side of him ,, or his drug addiction so she told him to go to a shrink but he does this cuz he loves her and he doesnt want to lose her ,, but i think she alredy left him ,,and he says all he ever wanted he already had because he was happy with her and ya now hes tryna fight for her so hes goin to a shrink and a mental house or rehab 

Antivist Bring Me The Horizon

I think this song is about society and how screwed up it is. We think we live in a perfect world, but there are traitors everywhere, and the people who think they are rebels, but do nothing other than sitting by their computer screen, have to spring into action, but they're going to lose the battle anyway

Follow You Bring Me The Hoizon

It could be about a person who isn't good for you. You really love him/her but at the same time he/she doesn't care a bit about you. 
But since Oli said most songs of this album are about his addiction I this this 'person' is just a metaphor for the drugs.

True Friends Bring Me The Horizon

Oli Skyes penned the song about a previous relationship by which he was betrayed by his lover. He no longer wants anything to do with her and believes that he will get his revenge since karma cannot be escaped.

Crooked Young Bring Me The Horizon

This song is a direct criticism of the 12 step program to treat addiction. "Just a dozen steps and 28 days". For those not familiar with the 12 steps, the main pillar of the program is accepting god as your savior in various forms and admitting that you are powerless without him. This song is basically saying that there are some of us who have support in other places like friends and family and not in the "faceless" (god). As another user already pointed out, the parts about praising jesus are pure sarcasm.

Happy Song Bring Me The Horizon

This song could be about how his depression made him do things he's no so proud of, and the happy songs are to mask everything he did but no mater what he did or how loud he sang (tried to be happy) the depression always came back. Over all the song was, in my opinion, to express how in the end no mater how hard he tried he still was depressed. Or It can be about madness, he felt really bad, maybe it's about his addiction on drugs. He felt like his head is insane, he was depressed, but he refused to. So he wanted to get rid of it, he tried anything.


                                   

Throne Bring Me The Horizon

I think this song is about someone who was raised by wolves, notice the "So you can throw me to the wolves
Tomorrow I will come back leader of the whole pack" line.I think he was raised by wolves but decided one day he wanted to become an ordinary person so left the woods to become a member of society. It is about the difficulties of fitting in with modern society after being raised in the woods by wolves your entire life.
