Lyrical Analysis of...
Bulletproof Heartstrings
- **Bulletproof Heartstrings**
- (Verse 1)
- Night falls, phone glows, I’m counting broken stars,
- Your name a cigarette, I keep it in my scars.
- Cold sheets, colder thoughts, replaying every scar,
- I swear I’m doin' fine until I hear that far off car.
- You move like a rumor, soft and hard at once,
- Got me borderline sinner, borderline dunce.
- I mix your laughter with the sound of sirens, babe,
- Tightrope on the rooftop, every step is grave.
- (Pre Chorus)
- I baptize my pain in melodies and pills,
- But none of them can fix the space your absence fills.
- You haunt me gentle, like a chorus on repeat,
- Love’s a loaded needle and you’re the drip I need.
- (Chorus)
- I’m addicted to your echo, to the trace of your name,
- Pull the trigger on my doubt but the shot don’t change.
- Bulletproof heartstrings, but they snap in the rain,
- You shoot me with your silence and I beg for the pain.
- Yeah, I keep rewinding —I can’t quit the frame,
- Love’s a reckless season and I’m staying in the flame.
- (Verse 2)
- Blue lights in the mirror, memories on speed,
- Your lipstick on a promise like a prophecy I read.
- We danced in contradictions, under neon sin,
- You stole my cigarettes and all the places I’d been.
- My therapist is Spotify, she hears me in the night,
- I tell her all my secrets and the way I lose the fight.
- You were a weather warning, I was the hurricane,
- I came back for more damage like it’s something to regain.
- (Pre Chorus)
- I baptize my pain in melodies and pills,
- But none of them can fix the space your absence fills.
- You haunt me gentle, like a chorus on repeat,
- Love’s a loaded needle and you’re the drip I need.
- (Chorus)
- I’m addicted to your echo, to the trace of your name,
- Pull the trigger on my doubt but the shot don’t change.
- Bulletproof heartstrings, but they snap in the rain,
- You shoot me with your silence and I beg for the pain.
- Yeah, I keep rewinding —I can’t quit the frame,
- Love’s a reckless season and I’m staying in the flame.
- (Bridge —half sung, half rapped)
- Tell me, is forgiveness a currency or a crime?
- I’m paying rent with memories and late night wasted time.
- You said forever like a promise, now it’s chalk on the ground,
- But I trace those letters nightly, hoping they come back around.
- I wear your ghost like armor, it keeps me numb and thin,
- But every breath you borrow feels like where I begin.
- If loving you’s a battle, I’ll be the one who stays,
- Gunmetal roses blooming in a field of ash and praise.
- (Verse 3 —softer)
- Morning comes, I’m lighter, but your shadow stays,
- Coffee cups and closet dust, the quiet’s razor blades.
- I write our conversations on the wall behind my eyes,
- A mural of the almosts where the stubborn feeling lies.
- I don’t want to fix you, don’t want you fixed on me,
- Just want the version that believed we could be free.
- So I put the needle down, but keep the ache alive,
- ‘Cause every time I’m breathing, I’m surviving you by five.
- (Chorus —layered, more melodic)
- I’m addicted to your echo, to the trace of your name,
- Pull the trigger on my doubt but the shot don’t change.
- Bulletproof heartstrings, but they snap in the rain,
- You shoot me with your silence and I beg for the pain.
- I keep rewinding —I can’t quit the frame,
- Love’s a reckless season and I’m staying in the flame.
- (Outro —whisper, fading)
- If love is war, then call me the frontline,
- If love is poison, I still drink your wine.
- Your echo’s in my chest like a song I can’t unlearn,
- Bulletproof or not, for you my heart will burn.
