Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides Lyrics

Cover art for Chemical Kids and Mechanical Brides lyrics by Pierce the Veil

I really think it's about being in love with someone that's your complete opposite, almost to the point of being embarrassed of them. Or being in love and thinking it's wrong. You know, like tryna keep it on the down low. "Everyone is watching you Told you why I see no need for the sun I've found a reason to say A love you light is a love seen gone If this is it Don't bother because this love is a lie I'm a chemical kid, you're a mechanical bride"

He's says this, but then expresses how much this person means to him. "I held a diamond to the sun To count the moments on account of the way you smile for me Oh, we're in slow motion when you smile for me"

As the song progresses, I start to think that maybe he's in a relationship but is in love with someone else. He has his cake and wants to eat it too. He doesn't want the person he's cheating with to leave him. "But I still hold your breath so you won't leave Pastel red and porn star white ghost on the altar We breathe don't leave Say that the night sings alone And if there's a God, then I'm letting him go All for you You alone Raise my hands at the thought of you leaving me alone What if I still care? Don't torture me or beg me Can you make me believe in tiring?"

What cha think?
