Pierce the Veil – Stay Away From My Friends Lyrics 13 years ago
Guys. This song isn't about a break up or anything. You have to really look and understand the lyrics ._.

I feel like Louisiana, or short for Ana, isn't a girl. The name represents I'm guessing a razor. I'm not sure. I didn't write the song. But I know it's not about a girl. Maybe anorexia. And he says "You're torturing me with a beautiful face" ... many people struggle with cutting all the time. So he's just looking at the razor, really want to cut himself, but he knows he shouldn't.

He sings "Stay away from my friends because I need them to carry me". I feel like he's saying "I shouldn't cut, because I need my friends to be there for me for every other problem I have."

"I don't know how you get into me. Down my throat and made a home in my veins.They used to be the rivers that would take us away."
(He doesn't know why he's so addicted to cutting. The "rivers" is the escape from the cutting that took him away from all the metal pain)

"I still can't believe how you look next to me.
Just like a strip club bedroom scene."
(He can't believe that he cuts himself. I believe that he's trying to tell us that the blood is going down his veins and "strip club bedroom scene" means that it's intense.)


But you don't know what it's like to wake up in the middle of the night.
Scaring the thought of kissing razors.
This blood evacuation is telling me to cave in, stay away, oh no,
Just stay away from my friends
("But you don't know what it's like" ... he's explaning to people that they don't understand. "Kissing Razors" is about cutting. "Blood evacuation, cave in" ... He really wants to cut, and he's about to but he remembers his friends.)

I'm not sure ... I'm not 100% ... But I honestly believe it's not about a girl. It's such a beautiful song. I spent about 20 minutes studying the song. This isn't a breakup song. I know for a fact it's about self harm. It's beautiful. One of my favorites. I hoped this helped a little <3
