Lyrics for Bullet Proof..I Wish I Was as interpreted by piesupreme

Bullet Proof..I Wish I Was Lyrics
Limb by limb and tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day, every hour
Wish that I was bulletproof

Wax me, mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it was bulletproof

So pay me money and take a shot
Lead-fill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate and bulletproof

i listen to this song while im driving in my car alone sometimes when its dark and everything is still, and it leaves me feeling like i want to cry because i wish nothing could hurt me, i wish i didnt let every little thing get to me in so many ways and i wish i was a stronger person.

i think most of the rock artists will mention "gun" or "bullet".they may all be affected by john lennon's tragedic death.i think this song is about that someone's holding a gun pointing at your head and forcing you to do something you know is wrong.

Its sad many people do not put much attention to those kind of songs, they find the melody boring...and the lyrics would suck...how can they dare...Well, for me, I agree with I none_of_the_above.

I think this is about a guy who has been with a girl that made him really emotional about things. (You have turned me into this).
But later on, she leaves him and he wishes he wasn't so emotional, especially about her (I wish that I was bulletproof).

Time to comment on MY FAVORITE SONG OF ALL time

I have two, duel meanings.

1) This came to me back in '95, when I was youngin, and I really like this theory. Ever had a childhood whimsy? We all have. Like I'm going to be this or do that and its just so pure and reflects your character at a really young age. What I thought was an adult, looking back on life and wants to recapture his childhood naive fantasy of becoming bulletproof. If I were to direct this music video, I would have two kids kissing on a dock at a starry night during the chorus: 'proooooooooooof'.

2) Came a few weeks later. A man being torn and hurt in a destructive relationship, and how he is resorting to have the most superificial kind of protection - physical, away from the pain that he has been caused. Hiding in a dark room, huddled up, bulletproof and completely invulnerable.

What a beautiful song. My absolute favorite.

I agree with none of the above.The song's about how life becomes so hard that it makes us so fragile and easily hurt by anything.I've always been too sensitive and there's been so many times i wished i could be more harder.

I agree with Joe Kubrick. I have always been hypersensitive as well and it is very difficult trying to teach yourself to be stronger. Being like that is like living with no skin, no protection from anything. Watching the news and seeing a loved one die cause the same amount of anguish. Everything makes you want to die. Anyway that's how I interpreted it.

I agree with Joekubrick, but I think his statement relates to all the things they said above. It's easy to be hurt and cry, and he wants to callous up away from it all. I don't understand Thom's line "I could burst a million bubbles all surrogate" however. What are the bubbles a symbol of???

this song kinda feels like undlying love.
somewhere where the person is giving all that he can for his love and well the love goes unreturned and that hurts and wishing if there was some way it willnever hurt again

At the end when there's the repeat of 'bulletproof' theres something in the background.. sounds like "still in love" so, it is about love? ^^

It's about this person being mistreated by everyone, being taken advantage of and being beaten up (physically and emotionally), and eventually having nothing to do except hide under their quilt away from it all, and seal themselves away, where they're invulnerable.

It's also about just trying to cope with your own emotions, and not be affected by them, and failing.

i really believe that majority of radiohead lyrics contain multiple meanings. This is one of my favs and i also believe it to be about unconditional love and that the person in love is very hurt, however the lines "so pay me money and take a shot" throw me off a little. i dont know how to interprete it. I then believe the song to be about how media portrays and 'moulds' people. How it manipulates and kills.

wow, all i can say is radiohead has a mad way of taking cliche and killing it.


if you don't get it, sucks for you.


radiohead's "the bends," is the modern day pink floyd's, "the wall." honestly. if you know music, you must agree.
