Pierce the Veil - Million Dollar Houses (The Painter) Meaning

Million Dollar Houses (The Painter) Lyrics

So what if I was just a painter
painting houses on the rich blue coast?

   I wrote this song as a gift to my parents. It’s meant to be my dad talking to my mom. My dad has worked very hard his entire life as a painting contractor, struggling and fighting to make enough money to keep us going. We recently had to sell our house because things were just getting too expensive to afford anymore. This song is about how through all the years, my mom and dad have never let money tear them apart, and no matter how bad things got, they’ve always had each other. I strongly express my hatred for money and the way it sometimes fucks with people’s lives and families. All you need is love. The Beatles were right all along. Go figure.

   I think it is about a couple and the guy is scared she will leave him if he doesn't have enough money and he is telling her that no matter what that he will be there and will never stop loving her.

   This interpretation has been marked as poor. view anyway

   my interpretation is that no matter how many obstacles are thrown in their paths, they will fight through it. even if it means running from there lives to start a new one. "we can run" is a way to say "we can break up" or we can fight and get through it. they chose to fight through it since they never say "we ran" its still a condition for the future waiting to happen, but still able to be changed. they never run so vic fights for her forever. for diamonds and gold.
