Heyy!! I’m seeing Pierce the Veil in August when they open for MCR! Any songs I should know that they might play and possibly a member recap? I know of Vic and I listen to a few of their songs but other than that I’m completely clueless. My favorite song by them rn is ‘the divine zero’ but that can definitely change.
I know caraphernelia is low cause it deserves to be. No disrespect to anyone who likes the song but I hate it so much 😂😂😂
I’m not a huge ptv listener but I’m familiar enough to make an album ranking, the people of Reddit don’t like my album rankings though.
Anyone else here going to their Vancouver show?!? I’m so excited 🥹🥹🖤
Were any of yall avid xxxtentacion listeners before/after pierce the veil???
I need photos of vic looking fun and silly and goofy and wacky. But im struggling to find unedited ones!
shirt is just a tank that i got printed at a printing shop :)
As someone who found PTV in 2011. 10/10
I feel like not a lot of people talk about how amazing Vic is at screaming and how many great screams he has so we’re gonna talk about it lol. My personal favorites are the screams in “Hell Above” and “Bulls in the Bronx”. “I’d rather die than be famous” also some amazing screams in them. Which ones yall like?
Hi! This is so random but I absolutely love this song and wanted to do a deep dive on pretty much every lyric because the story is so captivating to me. some of these are the genius notes but a lot of them were written by me :p if yall have any thoughts lmk
————————————————————————————
Overall Summary: The entire song is written from Vics Exes perspective. She is basically complaining about how terribly Vic has treated her, she feels used and emotionally drained to the point she wants to kill him.
You're my favorite explosion
(The only real way to cure pain is to add a little more)
(Because everything new distracts the old)
referencing self harm, insinuating that in order to feel better you need to experience more pain
A violin with no hands plays
Symphonies with no words (with no words)
the ex represents the violin while vic represents “no hands.” Its showing that she is putting an uneven amount of effort into the relationship to play a “broken symphony” because vic (the hands) are not present.
A drowning boy with no voice prays
Someone up there's telling me
"You'd better not get back up"
the girl (represented by the drowning boy) is trying to convince herself not to go back to him (youd better not get back up)
I spit my heart into this red cup
Better pick it back up, it might ruin your night
(ruin your night)
presumably at a party shes upset at vic but chooses to surpress her feelings to “not ruin his night” and cause and argument (common in toxic relationships)
And she said
"Baby, leave the water by the bed for later"
I woke up without a single drop
Vic took the “water” from her (representing her happiness) for his own benefit and left her with nothing, despite her begging him to leave her some
I told myself
"I'm tired of holding up your backup plans"
Go down your list and be satisfied
If all you have is not enough
this chorus repeats a couple of times but shes trying to tell herself that shes tired of being there for him and getting nothing in return. the “list” could be referring to previous complaints vic has had about their relationship.
She said paint a picture on me
Throw your dress up and your heart away
shes basically telling vic to jizz on her (lmao) and that she is only satisfying his sexual desire rather than her own feelings (throwing her “heart” away)
Yeah, I heard what you said (no), a friend of a friend
These strangers at the party never paid
they are gossiping about who slept with who at a previous party, trying to connect with vic over this conversation. she views him as a negative judgemental guy and is hoping this conversation will go somewhere
And if that doesn't turn you on
I'll keep talking 'til something does
continuing the previous conversation basically saying she will keep trying to talk to him until he gets turned on (kind of referring to the last lines of “throwing her heart away” and putting her value in the sexual pleasure she gives her partner
As we're covered in sand, you roll over and smile (smile, smile)
implies that they are in a difficult relationship and that they are both aware of it, but vic continues to ignore it/continues to treat her badly
I told myself
"I'm tired of holding up your backup plans"
Go down your list and be satisfied
It's all you
(repeated chorus)
And until that day (that day)
I'll steal you flowers from the cemetery, red roses
Red rose of the dead
until the day vic is satisfied she will continue to give parts of herself despite being “dead inside” (thats how i interpreted it at least) also the emphasis on red roses and death could be another innuendo to self harm
How does it feel to breathe oxygen inside her head?
To breathe oxygen inside someone’s head would mean to bring a dead person to life, This relationship has deteriorated her so much that she is mentally dead. Vic continuing the relationship is in her benefit. (kind of relating to the last lyrics too)
So say it (say it, say), say "I'm in love"
'Cause you called me crying (crying), crying (crying) from your job
Said, you just got fired and you don't have a backup plan
So don't expect me to understand
Vic calls her in distress because he lost his job and didnt have any back up plan,and shes daring him to say he loves her because he has the audacity to run to her like this despite treating her like shit
A diamond bullet and a gun made of gold
She was covered in blood, last seen in San Francisco
Vic’s lover has become so heartbroken by Vic’s actions that she’s become vengeful, seeking to end his life in order to end her strife. It is safe to assume that the blood she’s covered in is Vic’s also “Diamond” and “gold” could be meant to allude to the typical wedding ring (gold band with a diamond). She’s so fed up that she crafts the relationship (symbolized by a wedding ring) into weapons of destruction (bullet/gun)!
Yeah, alright
(We all break down)
Sometimes the bedroom walls become my only friends
When they were there from beginning to end
(There from beginning to end)
Walls are stalwart and stable. They stay in one place. Vic, on the other hand, jumps around, going from tour date to tour date, and in an emotional sense, from lover to lover. He didn’t seem to remember that the girl that loves him is at home talking to the only things that haven’t left her, the walls
I'm tired of holding up your backup plans
Go down your list and be satisfied
It's all you have
repeated again
You know I've never held a gun in my life
But now I carry one around in case I see you tonight
he hurt her so much that she carries a gun for the sole purpose of killing him (damn)
Bedroom walls, oh, these bedroom walls
Oh, I hate what it tastes like
Again, she is talking about the only thing he left her with, bedroom walls. She has nothing else as this relationship hurt her so much emotionally, it’s a hard thing to recover from. This whole ordeal left her very bad taste in her mouth.
Woo
