Deryck wrote this song on the road to recovery from his alcohol addiction and after he was hospitalized. Whenever he wanted to pick up a bottle of alcohol, he picked up pen and paper instead of a bottle “I picked this song because of it’s importance to me. I feel this song literally saved my life. I was at my absolute lowest point of what seemed like a never ending recovery. I was at a tipping point where I could have easily just given up and went back to my old ways of alcohol abuse which would’ve ended up killing me, which at the time felt like a better option. when all of a sudden, in mid thought, these lyrics sort of appeared in my head and I grabbed a pencil and paper instead of a bottle and started writing. when I read it back to myself I realized I had written words that I would need to live up to if I wanted to survive. whenever I had any thoughts of giving up I would read these lyrics myself to remind me that I need to keep fighting harder and what it was exactly I was fighting for.” |

| We As Human – Take the Bullets Away (feat. Lacey Sturm) Lyrics | 11 years ago |
|
I believe that this could be about someone who has given up all faith in God. I've got my finger on the trigger One bullet in the gun And I'm spinning the revolver Thinking this could be the one This could mean he is thinking about suicide of the darkest time in his life I tried to find religion To see what I'd become I was ruined by the world But I blamed it on the Son He is trying to find his religion again and his final thought is to blame it on the Son because maybe this time is different, thinking it could be some sort of punishment Am I worthless? Am I filthy? Am I too far gone for a remedy? Will you help me? Cause I'm dying To be something more than a memory If I reach out Can I trust you? Will you help me see the light of one more day? Take the bullets away Take the bullets away The man is asking himself if he is worth living on this world from disappearing or if he should try to take his life already. He is trying to run this question through his head of thinking if he could trust the Son. Maybe he wants the Son to take away the pain and bullets so he doesn't think about the thoughts I've tried to build resistance I've tried to start a war But no one ever listened I've battled with the storm This man has tried to start so many different things to help get noticed. None of these have helped, so that's another reason why the man is thinking of suicide. You're so disarming There's nothing left to fear You're so disarming I'd drop all my weapons to show you that I'm not afraid Take the bullets away Take the bullets away He finally thinks that if he shows he is not afraid of anything, maybe the Son could help him bring the positive side to him back and to help take away his thoughts and troubles |
