The Bullet
Healing Through Time: The Powerful Message of 'The Bullet' by John Dartnell
Lyrics
Time is our good friend can help a heart to mend
Time is a healing force that can mend a broken heart.
And time brings you closer, closer everyday
Over time, relationships grow stronger and closer with each passing day.
They used your innocence to try and build a fence
Someone exploited your innocence to create barriers or difficulties.
I've wiped away your tears Been doing that for years
The singer has been comforting and supporting you, wiping away your tears for many years.
Keep on looking for heaven, time will take us there
Continuously search for a better place or state of being; time will eventually lead to it.
The road is long but we'll fight on Till that one day comes my little one
Despite the challenges, keep persevering until the day of relief comes.
When you wont be the bullet for mummy's gun
Anticipation of a future day when the person addressed won't have to bear the burden or pain for the singer.
No one knew your pain, Judge didn't speak your name
No one understood your suffering, and the legal system didn't acknowledge your identity.
Just got this piece of paper your young life in my hand
Receiving a document that holds the weight of a young life in the hands of the singer.
What a thing to do, makes a joke of we love you
An action that undermines the sincerity of the love expressed; a betrayal or hurtful act.
They got a gun to my head bang bang killing you instead
A metaphorical threat of danger, with the singer feeling pressured and harmed, leading to the tragic consequence of "killing" the person being protected.
Keep on looking for heaven, time will take us there
Continue seeking a better place, as time will guide towards it.
The road is long but we'll fight on Till that one day comes my little one
Despite the lengthy journey, the commitment to keep fighting until a day of relief arrives.
When you wont be the bullet for mummy's gun
Reiteration of the hope for a future where the person won't bear the burdens symbolized by being a "bullet for mummy's gun."
Keep on looking for heaven, time will take us there
Emphasis on the ongoing search for a better state, guided by the passage of time.
The road is long but we'll fight on Till that one day comes my little one
Reaffirmation of the commitment to persist in the face of challenges until a better day arrives.
When you wont be the bullet for mummy's gun
Reiteration of the hope for a future where the person won't bear the burdens symbolized by being a "bullet for mummy's gun."
