Silver Bullet Proof
Chasing Ghosts: Battling Memories with Silver Bullet Proof
Lyrics
She had a barbed wire tattoo
Reference to a barbed wire tattoo on a woman, suggesting a tough exterior.
I couldn’t wait to run through
Expressing eagerness to engage with the tough persona represented by the tattoo.
It’s easy lookin in the rearview i was gonna get cut
Reflecting on the potential consequences of pursuing a challenging relationship, anticipating emotional pain.
Been a year full of weekends
Describing a year filled with weekends, implying a significant period of time.
Still tryin to stop the bleedin
Continued emotional distress, attempting to heal from wounds caused by a past event.
And this drinkin bout her leavin ain’t doin too much
Drinking to cope with the pain of a breakup, acknowledging it's not an effective solution.
I was hopin these ice cold silver bullets
Hopeful anticipation that consuming alcohol ("silver bullets") will erase a painful memory.
Would blow some kinda hole in this memory i can’t lose
Desire for the alcohol to have a profound impact on forgetting a specific memory.
I’ve climbed eleven aluminum mountains
Metaphorical reference to overcoming challenges, using the image of climbing mountains.
And like that twelveth one i’m still blue
Despite overcoming many challenges, still feeling emotionally down or sad.
Cause i’m shootin at a target that’s silver bullet proof
Acknowledging the futility of efforts to overcome an emotionally resilient target.
First kiss in the driveway
Recalling a significant moment (first kiss) in a shared space (driveway).
Crack a can and take aim
Cracking a can and taking aim metaphorically, perhaps at the memories associated with that moment.
But every drink is a ricochet right to my heart
Every attempt to distract with alcohol leads to emotional pain.
This case of ammunition
Comparing the attempts to forget to a case of ammunition, which has been ineffective.
Ain’t even put a dent in
Despite significant efforts, there's no impact on the emotional wounds.
That night we did way more than just fishin in the dark
Recalling a shared experience (fishing in the dark), possibly with nostalgic or romantic undertones.
Round after round leavin empty’s on the ground
Continued efforts to overcome emotional pain, leaving metaphorical "empty" (spent) emotions.
I got half a pyramid built and she still ain’t goin down
Building a metaphorical pyramid of attempts, yet not achieving the desired emotional relief.
Round after round leavin empty’s on the ground
Repetition of the idea that efforts have not yielded the expected results.
I got half a pyramid built and she still ain’t goin down
Reiteration of the struggle to bring down emotional barriers despite persistent efforts.
Yeah girl you’re a target that’s silver bullet proof
Affirmation that the person addressed is emotionally resilient, like a target that remains unaffected by "silver bullets."
