Lyrics
There's a hundred bullets meant for me
There are a hundred threats or dangers aimed at me.
A hundred bullets meant for me

One of them's gonna hit between my eyes

But they're meant for me
Repetition of the imminent danger aimed at the speaker.
One of them's gonna hit between my eyes

Oh there were seas of tears I never cried
Recollection of unshed tears, suggesting hidden emotions or pain.
Gonna come to me in tides
Anticipation that the suppressed emotions will come back to the speaker like ocean tides.
Come to me and wash my yellow smile
Desire for the emotional release to cleanse and purify the speaker's facade ("yellow smile").
Oh there were seas of tears I never cried

Come to me and wash my yellow smile

Oh there were crimes
Reflection on unspecified crimes committed without facing consequences.
For which I did no time

But they're waiting in the wings

Gonna yoke and fetter me
Anticipation of being restricted or burdened by the impending consequences of past actions.
Oh there were seas of tears I never cried
Reiteration of the anticipation that unshed tears will resurface like ocean tides.
Gonna come to me in tides
