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.
Sunshine,
There ain't a thing that you can do that's gonna ruin my night
(But there's just something about)
This dizzy dreamer and her bleeding little blue boy
Licking your fingers like you're done
And you've decided there is so much more than me
And baby honestly it's harder breathing next to you I shake
I brought a gun and as the preacher tried to stop me
Hold my heart it's beating for you anyway
What if I can't forget you?
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you
What's so good about picking up the pieces?
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole
Nobody prays for the heartless
Nobody gives another penny for the selfish
You're learning how to taste what you kill now
Don't mind me, I'm just reaching for your necklace
Talking to my mom about this little girl from Texas
What if I can't forget you?
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you
What's so good about picking up the pieces?
None of the colors ever light up anymore in this hole
Just give her back to me
You know I can't afford the medicine that feeds what I need
So baby what if I can't forget you?
Collide invisible lips like a shadow on the wall
And just throw, oh no
You can't just throw me away
So what if I can't forget you?
I'll burn your name into my throat
I'll be the fire that'll catch you
What's so good about picking up the pieces
What if I don't even want to?
I'd better learn to live alone
