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.
Listen, do you hear my heart beat
thump over the monitors?
You pretend to close your eyes
Don't breathe in
Pieces of candy and leaks of light
(leaks of light)
Paint the floor 'round me
Then without hesitating (hesitating)
You took my hand and then we both started running
Both started running
There's no place to go
Another bullet and we both started running
Both started running too
Save yourself, don't ever look back
Nowhere to go and so we both spin around in circles
Creeping through these labyrinths I find
Another dead end to the weekend
But is this real life?
Paper hearts turned ash begin to fly
Over our heads I begin
Screaming while the exit signs read Heaven's waiting
You took my hand and then we both started running
Both started running
There's no place to go
And now they're pulling and we both started running
Both started running too
Save yourself don't ever look back
Nowhere to go so we both spin around in circles
And I said: Hey, what's on your mind?
I think about my life without you and I start to cry
And I said: Hey, it's alright
We'll make it
I love you and I'll never leave your side
You took my hand and then we both started running
Both started running
There's no place to go
And now they're pulling and we both started running
Both started running too
Save yourself don't ever look back
Nowhere to go and so we both spin around in circles
circles
Ohh lets go!
Circles
