A lo largo de los años, la industria musical ha sido testigo de la aparición y desaparición de muchas bandas, pero pocas han dejado una marca tan indeleble como Pierce the Veil. Esta banda originaria de San Diego, California, ha creado un legado que se extiende desde el post-hardcore hasta el corazón de sus seguidores. La combinación de letras emotivas y poderosas actuaciones en vivo ha consolidado su lugar en la historia de la música contemporánea.
La historia de Pierce the Veil comienza en 2006, cuando los hermanos Vic y Mike Fuentes decidieron formar su propia banda tras la disolución de su proyecto anterior, Before Today. Con la incorporación de los talentosos músicos Tony Perry en la guitarra y Jaime Preciado en el bajo, Pierce the Veil encontró rápidamente su sonido distintivo.
La banda debutó en 2007 con el álbum A Flair for the Dramatic, que fusionaba elementos del punk rock, metalcore y rock alternativo. El disco fue bien recibido por la crítica y los fans, quienes elogiaron la habilidad de Vic para escribir letras profundas y emocionantes.
Surf to me
Whatever you want
And whenever you're breezing through
Keep tearing my world apart
As we lost the light
Wet cash on the bar
She fell victim to a violent wave
And died on the jagged rocks
But don't believe it's a never-ending summer
Cause they don't exist
Tied around your tongue in all the rage and spit
So why am I the one falling apart?
Cause you don't even know you're an angel
Foolish am I for the times I come and go
These stars defy love, so I close my eyes
And sleep inside your worn-in bed outline
Splash over your body while you drown on me
You ain't seen nothin' yet
Enter the galaxy of our sober demise
To the young and without type
In the morning hear all the birds sing
It never stops
Then, with tears in your eyes
You smiled dressed in coppertone tan lines
Oh oh I hope you don't regret me
But don't believe it's a never-ending summer
Cause they don't exist
Tied around your tongue in all the rage and spit
So why am I the one falling apart?
Cause you don't even know you're an angel
Foolish am I for the times I come and go
These stars defy love, so I close my eyes
And sleep inside your worn-in bed
And it won't be long 'till we drop this match
When I burn to your fingertips, you can throw what's left
So long, let's go and play those games you like
Let's go and play those games you like
But don't believe
Cause yesterday I found her with her clothes still wet
Crying in the shower on her knees she screamed
"Why the fuck am I falling apart? "
Cause you don't even know you're an angel
Foolish am I for the times I come and go
These stars defy love, so I close my eyes
And sleep inside your worn-in bed
And it woke me up like a heart attack
When you talk in your sleep I'll be there to slow your breath
