Black Veil Brides: Perfect Weapon Meaning
Song Released: 2010
Perfect Weapon Lyrics
Awake at night you focus,
On everyone whos hurt you.
And write a list of targets,
Your violent lack of virtue.
LEAVE US ALONE!
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!
GO!!
We are breathing,
While you're sleeping, go, (GO!)
And leave us...

#1 top rated interpretation:I think that it says that people who are bothering us about how we dress, or what we listen to or act like. And that bugging us is really all they have. We are changing the world and giving people reasons to live and fighting with them, while they are doing nothing. They can just leave us alone and go do something that they do. It seems that bullies have nothing better to do. People just get mad and take thier anger out on smaller kids, or outcasts. They have nothing better and should leave us alone. Deal with their problems with us, or without us. You can face your problems, they just take it out on others. Stick up for someone whose getting bullied, you'll be suprised what can happen ;)

#2 top rated interpretation:I believe that when the lyric says, "We are breathing, while you are sleeping..." means that we are still alive and trying, while the people who harm us are sleeping comfortably without knowing how much damage they actually did to that person. The lyric, "Awake at night you focus, on everyone whose hurt you" can mean that the only thing we do at night is focus on who is judging us for who we are, or whoever has hurt us throughout life. This song can be inspirational to everyone, even if you haven't been bullied, hurt, etc. because you can still live by these words.

#3 top rated interpretation:This song, i believe is about those of us who have been hurt by someone else. for example the first main lines in the song are these: Awake at night you focus,
On everyone whos hurt you.
And write a list of targets,
Your violent lack of virtue.
Right there he could be talking about how we literally sit awake at night dwelling on those who hurt us... ( i know i do this so this song has particular meaning in it for me, hence one of the reasons i fell in love with BVB)... in many ways from things like the way we dress, to they way we act.
these lyrics:
Here's to your perfect weapon,
Crack bones with blind aggression.
Like birds whose wings are broken,
You live without direction.
LEAVE US ALONE!
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!
I think are a cry out for those who torment us to just go away and to leave us alone
this:
We are breathing,
While you're sleeping, go, (GO!)
And leave us alone.
The lines cheated,
Our hearts beating, go, (GO!)
And now you're on your own.
is again a cry out to be left un tormented but at the end wher he says now your on your own, he is talking about the emptiness/loneliness u are left with . -
Perfect weapon is a song basically saying u are wonderful and perfect be who u are dont listen to others just know that they have been through most things u have been through.
-
I think this song is is for people who are being bullied because of what they do how they dress the way they are and the meaning is the be true to who u are and be proud of the things u can do and be the rebel outcast u are and be different because they laugh at u because u'r different I laugh at them cause there all the same and bvb is my "rise from the grave" then keep me from killing everyone who hurts me and they keep me going and they let me be the rebel outcast I am and let me ware the makeup and the tight jeans and the black nailpolish and just me myself and they get me through life so u ask that whoever reads this to get my message and be how Andy would want u to b and that is u'r selfthat is how I interpret the song
-
It's about making the people who hurt us into a weapon and use it against us.
-
i thik its saying the outcast are truly a part of something(bvb army!!). "LEAVE US ALONE!
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!" to me is saying that in some ways the outcasts are the majority yet whe you are being bullied it fells like you are alone 'cos that's what the bullies are telling "you Like birds whose wings are broken,
You live without direction" to me means that you have bee hurt ad ow you are unsure of who they are and where to go ad what to do, to me i think this could be a reference to someone considering self-harming they are so lost and have bee broke by others they feel they have no other option (direction to take)
to me it is a song of hope for the outcast ad a song to prove to the bullies how much they can hurt people. i think are perfect weapon is ourself ( people are afraid of what is different) and are will power to not give in and to change ad take the easy rout out. stay true and stay strong<3 -
when you’ve been hurt by someone,”awake at night you focus, on everyone who’s hurt you” and a cry to leave us alone and not bully us for being who we are.

Awake at night you focus,
On everyone whos hurt you.
And write a list of targets,
Your violent lack of virtue
i think (in my opinion) that people who have been hurt by others, they can't sleep because they see the people in their heads tormenting them, they hear thoughts of the words that were said towards them, or they seen abuse, pain, darkness, and the future falling apart in their minds, their actions and mind take over, they only focus on these people who hate them, they person writes the people's names down to see just how many people have hurt them
LEAVE US ALONE!
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!
GO!!
"leave us alone!" i think that someone or many people who have been bullied, abused, or hated, are yelling this in their mind or yelling it out loud towards the person bullying, abusing, or hating. the person or people yelling this are joining together to do something and telling the people bulling them that they are on their own now because they are fighting back to not give in towards the peer(s) so there for they are alone when the people leave them.
We are breathing,
While you're sleeping, go, (GO!)
And leave us alone.
The lines cheated,
Our hearts beating, go, (GO!)
And now you're on your own.
the person who is being bullied or etc. is not giving in yet, and is till breathing, they are awake in a room of somesort, lets say their room, they arn't giving up on life yet, they are still breathing while the bullier or peer is sleeping,,,
"and leave us alone" is the same as the line before,
the lines cheated, i think BVB is saying that it isn't fair the peer is bulling the person, so its like a race, if the peer cheats, it effects others.
and again "our hearts beating" they arn't giving up on live yet
Here's to your perfect weapon,
Crack bones with blind aggression.
Like birds whose wings are broken,
You live without direction.
LEAVE US ALONE!
YOU'RE ON YOUR OWN!
"her's to your perfect weapon" they person or people are almost saying in a way that the peer did not need to do that but they do not have a grudge against them,,,
or
the person or people could finally be saying in a way "i give up you win! you bullied me and now it's time for this to end, congratulations move on," and stop the bullling or abuse
"crack bones with blind agression" the bullie or abuser could be hurting the person without a reason anymore, he doesn't know why he just likes to be a bigger shadow than the person before him.
"like birds who's wings are broken you live without direcion'' when the person or people finally say "just stop it!" and move on the peer is confused and has finally been beated by the weeker, so ther for his "wings are broke" meaning his ego or some sort
yeah i know this is long but this is kagamiToxicBlood sharing with you my lyric meaning :) -
Awake at night you focus,
On everyone whose hurt you.
And write a list of targets,
Your violent lack of virtue.
At night, the person can't sleep because they are remembering all of the people who have hurt them. They want to get revenge, even though they know it's not right.
Here's to your perfect weapon,
Crack bones with blind aggression.
Like birds whose wings are broken,
You live without direction.
This part is saying that when you can't take it anymore, you can crack bones of the people who have hurt you lashing out with blind aggression. The person is compared to a bird, which has the capability to fly away from and higher than the people tormenting
it. But because the person has been injured and dwells on the pain rather than forgetting it so it can heal, they can't focus on becoming something better than the bullies.
We are breathing,
While you're sleeping, go, (GO!)
And leave us alone.
The lines cheated,
Our hearts beating, go, (GO!)
And now you're on your own.
The person being bullied wants people to leave them alone. When I hear him saying "go" I think he means to go ahead and have your revenge, but if you do you'll do it on your own because no one will support you doing it.
Overall, your "perfect weapon" in my opinion is becoming a huge success later in life, making your tormenters jealous and wish they hadn't been so cruel to you. -
I think this song says you are your perfect weapon.
"cracked bones with blind agression" I think means that you just lose it after the torment that you brake bones
"like birds who wings are broken you live with out dirrection" I think is the bullie. No one is leading him to do the right thing , so he lives with out direcion -
I think that this song means that the people who hurt those who are different will get what is coming to them. I also think its saying that we are judged by our looks, but we all have a beating heart.
