Pierce the Veil - A Match Into Water Lyrics Meaning

Publish date: 2024-05-02

Unless I am mistaken, It is about Vic's ex-girlfriend. She had breast cancer but has recovered.

"I don't ever wanna lose my best friend" Is an example.
"Bring her back or take me with her"

"I kissed the scars on her skin" Probably referencing chemo?

"Bring her back or take me with her" Vic doesn't want to lose her and is struggling.

"I know that you're in pain
But if we die at the same time does it still scare you" Cancer is painful, and He was perhaps struggling with suicidal thoughts?

"The chemicals will bring you home again" Could be chemo again.

"Shes mine you stay away from her it's not her time" One of the most iconic moments in this song, still it's Vic not wanting his ex to die, somewhere in an interview (Think it was Kerrang!) he said,

"It sounds like a difficult subject to cover but it wasn't in the sense that I wrote the song after she had beaten the cancer. It's actually a celebratory song and it was supposed to be a sort of a gift to her to say 'Hey I'm proud of you. I can't believe you made it through such a horrible situation.' I wrote it for her to talk about and mark the struggle she went through."
