| My Chemical Romance – Bulletproof Heart Lyrics | 7 years ago |
| @[redhawk87:28583] also, the line “I got a bulletproof heart, you got a hollow point smile” talks about how fake people can be. If your true to yourself and act like yourself, you won’t be fake. Your smile won’t be genuine. He would rather have a bulletproof heart than to pretend to be happy. He says “I’m who I got to be”. Meaning he is what he is and that is good enough for him and that’s all that matters. Again be true to yourself and love yourself and don’t try to be someone else. | |

There is the obvious tie in to the rest of the album, but if you take this song by itself, I think it talks about being true to yourself and loving yourself for who you are. I think “bulletproof heart” means that if you love yourself then no one else can tear you down and destroy you. People or society can try to hurt you with words and what not, but your heart and feelings are bulletproof. If your true to yourself, god will save you. I think Johnny understands this and is trying to help Jenny. He is trying to help Jenny to stop caring about how society wants her to act or how certain people in her life want her to act and just be herself. I think that can mean different things to different people and why I feel this is an amazing song!! |

| yeah , I saw the video when it first came out. I think it can still go along with this interpretation a little. In the video, the waitress is going around flirting with all these guys and leads them on. She takes them to a secluded place at the drive-in and the guy thinks he is going to at least get to make out. She ends up turning into a monster and presumably eats him? The girl leads him on to think there could be something there and then makes a fool out of him. Just what I think :) | |

I always thought this song was talking about a guy who had a really good friend that he liked a lot. He could never get the courage to tell her though because he was afraid of the rejection. He just sat idle while she dated countless guys. All he could do is sit and watch her from afar but wanted to just run and sweep her off her feet. After reading the previous comment, I can now see the song was a little more literal than that and he was actually talking about his next door neighbor. same concept still applies though --> a girl he really wants but cant have / doesnt have the courage to ask out. He sits in his room and all he can hear is the banging on the wall from her having sex with countless guys. He know she is a slut but every time he hears it, all he wants to do is run over there and steal her away. HE wants to be the guy copulating with her, not that other guy. She probably teases him too. Flirting all the time and such. |

Great song! I am surprised no one has commented yet... been out for a while now. I think this song is about a boy and a girl and their love (or lack there of) for each other. 'it started with a whisper' 'and that is when I kissed her' 'and then she made my lips hurt' I think the boy finds out through some people that this girl likes him ("it started with a whisper"). He then proceeds to go after her ("and that is when I kissed her"). I think she ends up leading him on making him think she likes him when she doesnt and when he finds out or when she is done with him he is devastated and everyone is talking about it. |

| fun. – Some Nights Lyrics | 13 years ago |
|
I mostly agree with @gwright2. Here is what I would like to add/change first stanza: I think he wishes his singing could bring him $$$. He wants the american dream! But at the same time he doesnt want all the exposure that comes with being famous. second: I think he is conflicted. He liked being an unheard of band. Life was simpler, maybe even more fun? At the same time he has these amazing new fans who adore him and also has this new cash flow. Maybe he never really wanted to be famous but now that he is he doesnt know anymore. third: He wants people to break social norms - a.k.a stop worshiping famous people. He hates the paparazzi and all that exposure. He never bought into all of that celeb bs (TMZ, National Enquirer, etc.) and doesnt think people should do the same to him now that he is one. Also, when your famous, no matter how hard you work at your music there are still going to be haters who call you a fake, say all you care about is the money, etc. These haters are bringing him down, making him feel like all is hard work is for nothing. fourth: I am not sure about this part. Maybe he found someone who understands what he is going through? maybe he found out that being famous has its "perks" (lots of girls wanting to get in your pants!) I dont know. fifth: When famous, it is hard to distinguish between a true friend and someone who is just using you. He want to be a nobody again because then he would have true friends again. sixth: Still conflicted. I dont know what the ghost is referencing. Maybe himself before he was famous? 7th: He took a huge gamble in life and it ended up working... he is famous! But its not as grand as he thought. He questions if he should of made such a sacrifice just to be famous. 8th: When he sees stars (celebs) he just sees them as regular human beings and thats how they should be treated. 9th: He is alluding to the 15 minutes of fame and he is already 5 min in. He is past the OMFG IM FAMOUS faze and he is bored with it. He is sorry he ever left (for california? or wherever he is doing his music). He misses his mom and dad. He want to go back to them and everything be like it used to. But to do that he has to give up what he loves, singing. To him that would be as bad as dying in the desert alone maybe? (that might be a stretch...) 10th: He realizes good things can come from bad decisions. His sister had a night she probably would like to forget with a guy she thought she loved but now she has a beautiful son which the lead singer is glad to have him in his life. 11th: Maybe he had someone special in his life before he got famous. Now that he is famous he made some bad decisions and it cost him the love of his life. If he never was famous, he would not of made those mistakes (maybe he couldnt resist all the ladies flinging themselves at him? or he let the fame get to him and left her in the dust). This might be another reason why he is conflicted. He might of had a dream about the life they could of had. They realize whats done is done, no dream will ever change that. 10th: |
