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.
Baby, pour over
Tell me, are we concrete?
What would you do without my perfect company
to your undressed spine?
And I can hear you drag behind my car by your broken legs
Swallowing stitches in her sleep
As she stole my only view, may I never blink
While you stood over the pavement
I was biting the curb
Cheap entertainment
But I'll bet it feels good coming down
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between your lips and mine
Zero friends
Followed your voice into a sea of crosses
She blends in with the foxes gold and feels like home
Under the surface my love
But beware, beware, beware
And take it slow tonight
We're on the other side of the road
I think we're bleeding out
While you stood over the pavement
I was biting the curb
Sick entertainment
But I'll bet it feels good coming down
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between our lips
So c'mon and swing it back and forth just like
My heart is on a pendulum tonight
If your lungs are mine
I only wanna watch your clouds linger in the darkness
Oh, can't you feel it
You're feeding on my restless soul
Oh, can't you see that
It's never enough, it's never enough
Today I saw the whole world
And I think heaven has a plot to take my life
Listen, I'm the one who made you
I'll be the one who brings you down
But this will be the last time
Bite on the curb
Sick entertainment
Oh, I'll bet it feels good when you're coming down
Can't bear to wash out the wasted time
Between our lips
So c'mon and swing it back and forth just like
My heart is on a pendulum tonight
If your lungs are mine
I only wanna watch your clouds linger in the darkness
