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.
Do you know
I count your heartbeats before you sleep?
I bite my fingernails to bone (to bone)
Now I crawl back under the stairwell
To a place I call my home.
I really hope you enjoy the show,
Because for me, it's just a bad day.
You need people like me to feel.
Maybe we're just having too much fun.
Maybe you can't handle yourself,
Staring at me with your lips and tongue.
You'll never know
I don't know where I'm going to sleep tonight.
She said hotels are cheap,
And there's one down the street,
But, why don't you threaten me with a good time
Murder the moment.
My God, I'm the serpent.
I'm sorry, I can't see that you truly love me.
Maybe we're just having too much fun.
Maybe you can't handle yourself,
Staring at me with your lips and tongue.
I've been having this dream that we can fly,
So maybe if we never wake up, we can see the sky.
Oh, alright.
Please don't take this out on me,
'Cause you're the only thing that's keeping me alive.
And I don't wanna wait for the down-set date
'Cause I would rather end it all tonight.
And if I mean anything to you,
I'm sorry, but I've made up my mind.
Maybe we're just having too much fun.
Maybe you can't handle yourself,
Staring at me with your lips and tongue.
I've been having this dream that we can fly,
So darling, close your eyes.
'Cause you're about to miss everything (about to miss everything)
'Cause you're about to miss everything (about to miss everything)
