Bullet
►Hollywood Undead Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴My legs are dangling off the edge
The bottom of the bottle is my only friend
I think I'll slit my wrists again and I'm gone, gone, gone
My legs are dangling off the edge
A stomach full of pills didn't work again
I'll put a bullet in my head and I'm gone, gone, gone

Gone too far and yeah I'm gone again

It's gone on too long, tell you how it ends
I'm sitting on the edge with my two best friends
Ones a bottle of pills, ones a bottle of Gin
I'm twenty stories up, yeah I'm up at the top
I'll polish off this bottle, now it's pushing me off
Asphalt to me has never looked so soft
I bet my momma found my letter, now shes calling the cops
I gotta take this opportunity before I miss it
'Cause now I hear the sirens and they're off in the distance
Believe me when I tell you that I've been persistent
'Cause I'm more scarred, more scarred than my wrist is
I've been trying too long, with too dull of a knife
But tonight I made sure that I sharpened it twice
I never bought a suit before in my life
But when you go to meet god, you know you wanna look nice

So if I survive, then I'll see you tomorrow
Yeah I'll see you tomorrow

My legs are dangling off the edge
The bottom of the bottle is my only friend
I think I'll slit my wrists again and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone
My legs are dangling off the edge
A stomach full of pills didn't work again
I'll put a bullet in my head and I'm gone, gone, gone, gone

We hit the sky, there goes the light
No more sun, why's it always night
When you can't sleep, well, you can't dream
When you can't dream, well, whats life mean?
We feel a little pity, but don't empathize
The old are getting older, watch a young man die
A Mother and a Son and someone you know
Smile at each other and realize you don't
You don't know what happened to that kid you raised
What happened to the Father, who swore he'd stay?
I didn't know 'cause you didn't say
Now Momma feels guilt, yea Momma feels pain
When you were young, you never thought you'd die
Found that you could but too scared to try
You looked in the mirror and you said goodbye
Climb to the roof to see if you could fly

So if I survive, then I'll see you tomorrow
Yeah I'll see you tomorrow

I wish that I could fly, way up in the sky
Like a bird so high
Oh I might just try
I wish that I could fly, way up in the sky
Like a bird so high

Oh I might just try
Oh I might just try

Line by Line Meaning

My legs are dangling off the edge
Feeling lost and empty without a purpose

The bottom of the bottle is my only friend
Reliance on alcohol to alleviate the pain and to numb the emotions

I think I'll slit my wrists again and I'm gone, gone, gone
Contemplating suicide as a way out of the suffering

A stomach full of pills didn't work again
Failed attempts to end the pain through overdose of medication

I'll put a bullet in my head and I'm gone, gone, gone
Determined to end the life through self-inflicted harm

Gone too far and yeah I'm gone again
Spiraling out of control with the destructive behavior

It's gone on too long, tell you how it ends
Acknowledging the prolonged struggle with mental illness and suicidal thoughts

I'm sitting on the edge with my two best friends
Being at the brink of suicide with alcohol and pills by the side

Ones a bottle of pills, ones a bottle of Gin
Seeking temporary relief through drugs and alcohol

I'm twenty stories up, yeah I'm up at the top
Being at a high point ready to take the final step

I'll polish off this bottle, now it's pushing me off
Consuming the final contents of the bottle before committing suicide

Asphalt to me has never looked so soft
Feeling at peace, and accepting death as the only option

I bet my momma found my letter, now shes calling the cops
Regretting the burden that will be on the loved ones

I gotta take this opportunity before I miss it
Seizing the moment to end the pain permanently

'Cause now I hear the sirens and they're off in the distance
Hearing the consequences nearing and the emergency services coming closer

Believe me when I tell you that I've been persistent
Fighting with the demons within and trying repeatedly to cope with the internal struggle

'Cause I'm more scarred, more scarred than my wrist is
The mental wounds are much deeper than the physical scars

I've been trying too long, with too dull of a knife
Struggling with suicidal thoughts and attempting to end life with the inadequate tool

But tonight I made sure that I sharpened it twice
Preparing for the final act with the right means

I never bought a suit before in my life
Realizing the significance of the final moments and how one wishes to be remembered

But when you go to meet god, you know you wanna look nice
Wanting to make a lasting impression in the final moments

We hit the sky, there goes the light
The transition towards the end with the body ascending

No more sun, why's it always night
Feeling detached from the world and only seeing darkness

When you can't sleep, well, you can't dream
Experiencing insomnia and not finding solace in dreams

When you can't dream, well, what's life mean?
Questioning the purpose and meaning in life when everything seems bleak

We feel a little pity, but don't empathize
Feeling sorry for the situation but not truly understanding the depth of the issue

The old are getting older, watch a young man die
Experiencing the cycle of life and witnessing the tragic end of a young life

A Mother and a Son and someone you know
Highlighting the painful impact of suicide and how it affects people from different walks of life

Smile at each other and realize you don't
Realizing how little we know about others' innermost struggles and mental health

You don't know what happened to that kid you raised
Parents being shocked by the transformation of their child and not knowing how to help

What happened to the Father, who swore he'd stay?
Highlighting the loss experienced by the family members and loved ones and how they struggle to cope with it

I didn't know 'cause you didn't say
Expressing how difficult it is to communicate inner struggles with others and the stigma surrounding mental health issues

Now Momma feels guilt, yea Momma feels pain
The pain and regret felt by the family members after a tragic incident

When you were young, you never thought you'd die
The blissful ignorance of youth and how it fades away with age and experiences

Found that you could but too scared to try
Realizing the possibility of ending one's life due to mental health issues, but being too afraid to take the final step

You looked in the mirror and you said goodbye
Making the final decision to end life and leaving behind the physical body

Climb to the roof to see if you could fly
Desperately seeking solutions and trying to find a way out of the perpetual cycle of pain

I wish that I could fly, way up in the sky
Wishing for an escape from the pain and to find freedom

Like a bird so high
Feeling restricted in the physical world and wanting to soar above it all

Oh I might just try
Being bold and taking chances, even if it means taking risks that could be harmful
