| Pierce the Veil – Props & Mayhem Lyrics | 13 years ago |

Now for what this song means to me: I think this song is basically about two people and how they deal with their problems and rely on each other. From the first few stanzas, it sounds as if they basically use drinking and living freely to escape from their problems. "Maybe it seems so strange but we don't even stress at all 'cause we've go poison in our well" - It seems strange that they aren't falling apart because of all the problems in their life but they stay together because of the "poison" which helps them to ignore their problems. This is probably really off but the stanza that says "burst into flames...etc." makes me think of a show and the energy and emotion behind it. Despite the darkness the music brings light and the raw energy and emotion is similar to a raging fire. It's a beautiful experience. The next stanza refers to using alcohol to escape from pain and reality. "Celebrate the way the night hides scars" basically supports the main idea of living life fully and ignoring problems which is easier to do at night. In the "daytime", reality hits you. The next stanza is like, don't think, just do. Get lost in the emotion. "Together we'll turn to ashes. Drown me in the flame." This shows how they rely on each other and it could symbolize that by ignoring their problems, they realize it could lead to their own destruction, or it could be much more simple than that haha. I feel it also means that forms of self destruction can feel good to escape from problems. "What if these demons..." I feel this is saying: "What if the problems keep coming? Well that's ok because we have each other and the way you can destroy everything is beautiful. Next stanza - someone help me; I've destroyed so much but I can't destroy my problems. I can't save you. I can't save anyone. Next stanza - Like the way you say you need me. I know you've tried to hide your pain but you can't do that forever. I personally can't hear the lyrics in parentheses but they were in the lyrics booklet. But anyway, I think this part refers to them being out of time, they can no longer run from their problems. No one is there for them but "I'll be the only light" So that was probably way off from what the writer intended it to mean because it's kinda wack but that's what I got from it haha. Regardless, I think this song is absolutely beautiful and full of emotion as are most of their songs. |

Here are some lyric corrections: "We've got poison in our well" not wall "And we'll turn to ashes Drown me in the flames. Scream in the dark. I'm gonna light up this place and die in beautiful stars But if these demons keep falling from the sky It's alright Cause sometimes I love the way You swing the blade At everything in sight." "I'm crying underwater so you don't hear the sound" "Burst into flames (What do you do when you're out of time?) Scream in the dark (Where do you go when they're right outside?) I'm gonna light up this place (And how do you scream when there's no one left around?) And I will be the only light. I'll be the only light. |

| I think when it says "If your lightning lips aren't mine" he means if they belong to someone else; if she is in love with someone else even though they clearly had a relationship. | |

| JT's explanation makes a lot of sense. People are quick to assume it's about a relationship but it's really about who you are and not losing that no matter how far you go from your roots. | |

Great song - great EP!!! The guy wants the girl to keep her personality or had hoped she was different something like that "idealist" he wanted their relationship to grow Masquerades can mean a false outward show and thats probably what they're referring to Too scared to show real self and despite this false pretense he can't help thinking about her and he likes her for her true self. He's trying to get her to be herself and be with him - show her what matters That's the best i could come up with ;) |

| It could be interpreted as being about getting a girl pregnant...but i'm not saying that's what they wrote it about..just a thought... | |

This song is so beautiful and catchy. I agree with Wealllovethem MCR; I think it's about the mistakes he's made in the past and now he's found the one and he's asking her to trust him despite his past. |

I love TAI! Out of the box, out of the kitchen Out of the world She's grown so fearful of So fearful of shes leaving the relationship with someone who she hasnt always feared because it says grown. She's been living with limited perspective-box I don't ever wanna see you again I don't ever wanna see you again I don't ever wanna see you again I don't ever wanna see you again My friend This is the end -I think it's the narrarator (Will) speaking from the girl's perspective Out of the house, she grabs the keys Runs for the hills and doesn't leave a letter That way the impact will be much better Away from the man That she's grown so fearful of So fearful of -again she's leaving Why, oh why You wear sunglasses in the home when The sun went down about an hour ago? Why, oh why You wear sunglasses in the home when The sun went down about an hour ago? Life should not be that way -this suggests the abusive relationship Always up or down Never down and out -what i get from this is that theres always two alternatives never just an easy out or compromise-something along those lines Dream of demons while you sleep That make you stutter when you speak -She thinks about the abuse and is hesitant to speak or act in certain ways That's all i got and i think some of the rest is self-explanatory |

| A lot of their songs have lyrics that contradict themselves which i think would show a struggling of emotions | |
