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
