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.
I'm mastering the art of miracles and flawless tragedies
In here I spend every day in captivity
Devoured while the walls grow hands and teeth
I cried and listened to the rain in a rental car
One day somebody's gonna go and get pushed too far
But now I don't know what to say
Shall I deny my lungs their breathing rights?
So give it up, give it up
Don't let your mind slip away
Don't drink, don't get so high
Your beat's too obvious
Not gonna say
What you want me to say I guess you're right
The less you're seen, the less you are
But I don't even care anymore
Anatomy of a ghost, invisible friend
I won't pay for sanity 'cause I don't want to know
Some things are better left alone
But thanks for your concern and calls
I'd put a bullet in my head if I lost you now
Never even owned a bed, just a blood-red couch
You think you're getting the best of me
Disarm the smoke alarm
Fuck you, no one's gonna ruin all our fun
All that we want is this temporary release and distraction
Anatomy of a ghost, invisible friend
I won't pay for sanity 'cause I don't want to know
Some things are better left alone it seems
Are you out there?
I'm not everything you wanted me to be
So I suggest you pray for a full recovery
Your words were written in cold blood
Even with phantom power and ludicrous speed
I can't run because betrayal won't come from my enemies
Anatomy of a ghost, invisible friend
I won't pay for sanity so baby, here's a toast
To things much better left alone
It seems I'm not everything you wanted me to be in a
Dream on the way to the hospital I'll slip away
What's happening to me?
And as you drag the lake and pull me out
Do you feel the shame inside you?
And as my body lays before you now
Do you feel my skin is cold?
