Bullet for My Valentine – Pretty on the Outside

• 0
  Lyric Correction:okay so the first paragraph is:
  So you wanna play games with my head?
  But you make me fall apart, i wish that i was dead.
  I just cant believe i fell for such a blackened heart.
  You blamed me for a fool and used me from the start.
  
  second paragraph:
  Fuck it all! (Fuck it all!)
  I just wanna know the truth, but the words from your mouth,
  They just cloud all the negativity
  Forces me down into (silence)
  But still i can dream
  I wanna know, i wanna know!
  
  Chorus:
  If i tear u up alive, take a look inside,
  Are u pretty? Can i get inside ur mind, see wat i can find,
  Are u pretty? So just take off that disguise, everyone knows that ur only
  Pretty on the outside

  General Comment:This is what the song means to me
  
  So you wanna play, games with my head?
  but you make me fall apart, I wish that I was dead
  I just can't believe I fell for such a blackened heart
  You played me for a fool and used me from the start.
  ( This one speaks for it's self. He was played with during the relationship he feels stupid)
  
  Fuck you (fuck you)
  I just want to know the truth
  But the words from your mouth they just cloud
  All the negativity, forces me down into (silence)
  But still I can pray
  I wanna know, I wanna know.
  (She's a liar and he can't tell what's true or not because he's been lied to for so long.)
  
  If I tear you open wide, take a look inside
  Are you pretty?
  Can I get inside your mind, see what I can find?
  Are you pretty?
  So just take off that disguise, everyone knows that you're only
  Pretty on the outside.
  (He's trying to say, If he takes a look inside of her true self it's ugly and not good in other words she's not an angel from the inside but in the outside she looks innocent.)
  
  Now I fucking hate you with all of my heart
  So just disappear, and never will I fear for my life
  I just want to be alone
  And never, no never, will I be unhappy alone
  I wanna know, I wanna know.
  (He's better off alone, he doesn't want to see her again he's happier this way.)
  
  I just wanna know the truth (but the words from your mouth)
  All your negativity (you keep forcing me down)
  Into silence I can dream (into silence I can dream)
  Into silence I can dream.
  
  ( speaks for it's self he wants to know the truth but all he gets is lies, there isn't any positivity just conflict, when it's quiet there's peace)

  My Opinion:Well blade 2078 pretty much covered it a lot of people pretend to be perfect to get what they want but at the end of the day they're the ones that have to live with themselfs

  General Comment:I kind of took it literally... like he is pissed at a girl who is pretty he kills her out of anger. ("If i tear you open wide, take a look inside, are you pretty?") He cuts her open, and she looks gross on the inside. Idk if thats what was meant necessarily but for some reason thats what i always think of =p

  My Opinion:one of the top 3 songs on this album in my opinion. i love the screaming in the verses and vocal layers in the chorus. Im so glad that bfmv left the sound they had in Scream aim fire(big dissapointment) and went back to the poison. great album great song "is it my turn to die!"

  General Comment:Ha, 1st post. Love this song, easy to understand, goes back to that old saying "don't judge a book by its cover". Seems like he is using this song to express his fealings bout pretty chicks who use people for fame, money, ect. How they might look pretty on the outside "If I tear you open wide, take a look inside" but they are really just in it for greed and not the other person "So just take off that disguise, everyone knows that you're only Pretty on the outside"

    awesome song this is my take,
    He's in a relationship with a women that makes herself appear perfect to everyone else Personality and looks, But she's really a horrible person inside, constantly putting her loved one down, making him question himself as a person doubting himself thinking of suicide or how he doesn't deserve her. He's finally figured out that the problem is not him, but her personality and all she has is her body to cover for the empty void where her heart should be.
