Pierce The Veil
Pierce The Veil Lyrics
Why, do I talk so
And it's your fault (Your fault)
You're the only one that breaks away (Away)
When we had fun, we had fun, we had fun
[Verse 1]
Everyday will become night and end without a change
We'll try, still strong in chains
Urging the mind to speak until weakness has been disarmed
Disarmed
[Chorus]
I'll be back for you
We'll try, I'll find you
[Verse 2]
These midnight masquerades
Are still strong in their chains (Their chains)
It's the motion in our blood that has since ran out of love
And it's so hard when we've wasted all our youth on you
Wait for the same moon
We were smoking on a cold day's afternoon
In the same, in the same fire
In the same fire (We'll soon untie)
When it's over, the scenes fall in two
When it's over, the sun will be back for you, for you
We'll soon, we will soon untie
About
Title
The song’s title comes from the concept of ‘piercing the veil’–boldly stepping past the rat’s nest of possible causes, workarounds, and hair-splitting to attack the problem at its simple roots. Just cut the problem out at its source. Lead singer Vic Fuentes resonated with the concept from hearing about it in high school sociology class.
The title has also been passed forward to the Fuentes brothers' next band: Pierce the Veil.
Song overview
This song is a beautiful, rising rush of emotions. It’s about changing your view about someone and cutting them out your life. It’s about needing to put yourself first in understanding the toxicity of certain situations- and understanding the necessity of solving a problem at its roots.
