After the Burial – Berzerker Lyrics 13 years ago
on a recent interview, the bassist mentioned that this song was about the man-eating tigers in India that lurk in the mangroves and thirst for human flesh. hmm...interesting!

Gallows – The Vulture (Acts I & II) Lyrics 15 years ago
-Dragging a lake means you are searching the lake for dead bodies. Oddly enough, I've heard it referenced in many lyrics by bands like Bring Me the Horizon, Everytime I Die and Atticus. Huh!

The Human Abstract – Nocturne Lyrics 15 years ago
AmpleVoltage: I love to find out other bands similar to ones that I like, and a really good way to do this is to get a Pandora account (free) and make a station of the band you have in mind.

anyway, i am obsessed with the last stanza of this song. "Caught in the act, right in our midst. A snake in the grass, no honor as night fell on my soul."

THIS BAND IS STRAIGHT UP SICK. PERIOD.
I am interested in hearing how the new vocalist sounds. Personally I get nervous when bands I like get new vocalists. I sometimes feel like it's a while other band because their sound can change so much. But! I won't judge until I hear!

Confide – If We Were A Sinking Ship Lyrics 15 years ago
so I came here hoping to find at least ONE person's opinion about what this song may be about but as usual there's just people commenting on how awesome the song is (which it is..) :P
Someone should add in their two cents! I'd like to know what other people think about the lyrics.

I feel like maaaybe this song is about conforming/not sticking up for yourself or someone else/not saying how you really feel and the consequences of doing so.

Heavyheavylowlow – I Forgot Two And A Half Days Lyrics 17 years ago
ohhh people need to put more HHLL lyrics on here...
this song obviously has something to do w/being high. "i am here and you are here, but we are not really here at all." and "i see the road slipping as our eyes glaze over"
idk, hhll is so abstract, i can never figure out what they mean by their songs except i assume they're compelely ripped when they're writing them.

Bring Me the Horizon – Diamonds Aren't Forever Lyrics 17 years ago
k joshgrwk, its fine you have an opinion, but keep your negativity off these band's lyric pages. obviously we dont give a fuck of what you think because we all ENJOY this kind of music. we all appreciate bring me the horizon, so do you think you can 'convert' us, or make us agree with you?
no sir.. this is not cliche. bmth has been around for a good 5 years, just as long as atreyu. and they're from the UK, unlike both atreyu and a7x. Their music isn't even close to a7x. If anything, other bands are imitations of bmth, NOT the other way around. BMTH screams originality, and i have my reasons why i think so, just no time to list all of them.
learn your shit before you speak, please and thank you.

Lil Jon – Real Nigga Roll Call Lyrics 17 years ago
i really dont think there's any meaning to this song..
besides saying the word nigga close to 300 times throughout the song. yeah i counted once... i think it was 226 or something...?
anyway, this song is beast. i love it. but i dont doubt that there's no meaning to it other than the literal stuff, what you're hearing.

Bring Me the Horizon – The Sadness Will Never End (feat. Sam Carter) Lyrics 17 years ago
this song, to me, definatly is about either a girlfriend or just a girl he cares very much about, wasting away her life on drugs. "you can't stand on two fucking feet with substance as your crutch"
something has happened in her life that makes her weak -emotionally and/or physically, and she's relied on drugs or a 'substance' to keep her from slipping under. he knows that it is only making her worse, and he tries to tell her. because of this and probably other reasons, their relationship isn't as strong as it used to be. he's scared, he doesn't know what to say.. possibly because nothing he says is working.
but he won't let go. " i wont give up on you, so don't give up on me."
"these scars won't tear us apart"- i cant figure out if he means that figuratively or literally. like, maybe either him or the girl has struggled with cutting? or maybe she was physically abused. anyway, obvoiusly the girls quality of life is poor and he's desperatly trying to help because it is effecting their friendship. and he won't stop trying, he won't give up on trying to save her.

Bring Me the Horizon – Tell Slater Not To Wash His Dick Lyrics 17 years ago
loooove the 'move' before the breakdown. GOD DAMN! favorite bmth song BECAUSE of that right there. =D
k so this is about a girl who uses him, says she'll be there, but treats him like shit and is never there for him 'only just a phone call away'. oli's like BULL SHIT MAAM! making him all depressed but he thinks its all because of something he's doing wrong.
but yet, he still cant stop loving her even tho its tearing him apart "i will always love you. but i need pills to sleep. i have always failed you. so throw away my memories... MOVE (breakdown)" =D

Bring Me the Horizon – Death Breath Lyrics 17 years ago
crushgroove48 - i definatly agree with you.
makes so much sense. vampires only come out at night... parties only happen at night.
people try to disagree with 'partiers'... try to make them stop. but HELL NO we wont stop =P.... awesome thinking.
everyone knows bmth likes their booze.

Bring Me the Horizon – Suicide Season Lyrics 17 years ago
this song is hands down my favorite on the whole album.
anyhoo, its pretty plain and simple, what oli is talking about here.
one of his friend's loved ones has passed away and because of it their relationship has changed. he watches his friend fall deeper and deeper into depression, and all he wishes he could do is bring the one who passed away back.
he wishes all the sorrwow and tears brought from this incedent could make up for what has happend.
holy lord i love this song. its so powerful.

Bring Me the Horizon – Sleep With One Eye Open Lyrics 17 years ago
fabulous song. Definatly another reference to his 'friends' he had in high school (ripped apart in minutes what was built in 7 years).
i love "you better fucking bow down to me. you better beg for mercy. get on your fucking knees and cry me a fucking river" amazing.
obviously about a 'best friend' just took at the last line. "Best friends means forever, CUNT!"
ahh =]

Bring Me the Horizon – Sleep With One Eye Open Lyrics 17 years ago
I think this is actually about a friendship. Many people know Oli's friends in highschool treated him like shit, and this is just another song expressing his anger.
I just don't see how this could be about an ex.

Bring Me the Horizon – Off The Heezay Lyrics 17 years ago
I agree with livvyxo.
His relationship with a girl is getting together, breaking up, getting back together, breaking up... etc.etc.
i'm guessing a lot of their problems are her fault since he's seeking revenge, the revenge is sleeping with other girls. [but they just dont feel right, like she does]. and im guessing their relationship is based on drinking and sex.
"Last night, we dressed to our best.
And drank till there was nothing left.
I walked you home, you held my hand.
We fucked away the rest of the night."
This song is one of my favorites, mainly because of the lyrics. Significantly reminds me of one of my past relationships. Way to go Oli =].

Bring Me the Horizon – Liquor & Love Lost Lyrics 17 years ago
veganisdead - im not sure how you get that he's debating whether or not he is gay, out of these lyrics.

i completely agree with MyRevenge. The marriage part -
"so much for living forever, so much for death do us part"
.. makes complete sense. She obviously passed away, and im leaning towards a death due to alcohol [drunk driving or possibly just drinking herself to death] because of the title of the song "liquor & love lost" the predominant 'liquor' factor in his life was his wife's drinking, and he obviously loved her. Since she's dead, both are lost.
I'm thinking also she was into the whole bar/pub scene. "i saw your eyes, laced in smoke and cigarette curls". He's used to seeing her in that sort of setting, so he continues to see her whenever he's there.
Thats my idea..

Hm, very interesting. I didn't know oli was convicted - but its not surprising. =P..
I love these lyrics though. It's so Oli Sykes - Letting out his anger but sounding like he's just pulling it out off his ass to scream it at someone on a moments notice. but that fact about him is FANTASTIC. i love how he is so blunt ;]

Bring Me the Horizon – It Was Written In Blood Lyrics 17 years ago
so being from the US i can't physically own the hard copy of SS.. =[ so i haven't read the inside cover. that is so kickass that this is a suicide note from some russian dude, whoever it was =S..
I was listening to these lyrics and thinking to myself, this doesn't sound lik the normal BMTH we read.
I'm thinking this has no lyrical significance to Oli, but just that he either admires or finds whoever wrote the suicide note very interesting.

kriswitchengage, that is so interesting!
okay, so i absolutely love these lyrics. sounds like he's totally fuckin trashed when he wrote this. 99% sure he was..
im a little lost on the part about a taxi.. idk if he's being literal or if he's meaning something else more deep.

Bring Me the Horizon – Diamonds Aren't Forever Lyrics 17 years ago
joejackoff - good eye catching the reference to 'rawrrr' lyrics. caught that one too. any true bmth fan knows that line from that song.. well done.
i heard this song about 2 months ago at warped, obviously before this song was released.. i've been waiting and waiting to own this song!!

so, i think this song is trying to say -don't sleep [sit around] wasting your life away.
i love 'death is a promise and your life is a fucking lie' - so good. =] meaning, you live your life as if you're never going to die [sitting there, waiting around like you have all the time in the world to accomplish anything] but yet death is inevitable [sp?]..
and the reference to rawwrrrr lyrics ["and if you think you're alive, well you're better off fucking dead"] when he says 'i've said it once and i'll say it again if you think you're alive then you're better off dead'. i interperet this as him meaning 'if you think you're the shit and you think you've got it all, then just go fuck yourself, cause theres no need for arrogance and cocky-ness.. tell me if im missing the point there.

Bring Me the Horizon – Pray For Plagues Lyrics 17 years ago
someone asked if these guys were christians.
they are a VERY secular band, obviously you can tell by the profanity in EVERY song they've ever written. and also, oli bashing and doubting 'God' in some songs'.. especially chelsea smile.
but i do believe they incorperate their knowledge and probable upbringing of the christian faith, to add debth to their lyrics.. thats my guess.

Bring Me the Horizon – For Stevie Wonder's Eyes Only (Braille) Lyrics 17 years ago
Ziko, i agree with your interpretation.
Oli's writing about someone lying to him, but him knowing the truth.'
'i'll steal the diamonds form your eyes, i'll turn your promises into lies' - to me this means she's possibly lived a fortunate and good life, but he's so pissed at her for lying [or something to that extent] that he's gunna turn that all around and make her life a living hell. "I'll take your hope. I'll take your fucking dreams. I'll take your love. I'll take everything, you fucking bitch"
but when he says 'your life is worse than any pain i could bring' he means that the life she is living is the worst anyone could live -the life of a liar, a betrayer. but she doesn't realize it. she thinks she has a life filled with 'diamonds'.
now i could be way off on that part, but thats what i get from it.

Bring Me the Horizon – Chelsea Smile Lyrics 17 years ago
also..
i really think this song is about feeling like a failure, and feeling guilty about something.. [not quite sure what that could be, possibly guilty for wasting time in believing in this faith he is now doubting]
and as oli feels like a failure, he's doubting his religion and faith in God. 'but if i dont believe in him, why would he believe in me?'
and possibly the 'secret' he keeps talking about is what he thinks the 'truth' is about his christian faith.
he's sarcastically saying 'repent, repent!' because he is doubting it all.

does anyone think when he says 'i counted my blessings' he's referring to his previous lyrics in pray for plagues 'count your blessings'...? idk if thats intentional or just a common saying he likes to use.

Bring Me the Horizon – They Heve No Reflections Lyrics 17 years ago
to me, i think oli's doubting peoples integrity as friends. Possibly some of them have stabbed him in the back, betrayed him. Or a possible girlfriend, as he says 'baby'.
