Knives and Pens
Andrew Biersack, Chris Stewart
Alone at last, we can sit and fight
And I've lost all faith in this blurring light
But stay right here we can change our plight
We're storming through this despite what's right
One final fight, for this tonight
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Lay your heart down the ends in sight
Conscience begs for you to do what's right
Everyday it's still the same dull knife
Stab it through and justify your pride
One final fight, for this tonight
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Whoa and I can't go on without your love
You lost, you never held on
We tried our best
Turn out the light
Turn out the light
One final fight, for this tonight
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Whoa and I can't go on without your love
You lost, you never held on
We tried our best
Turn out the light
Turn out the light
Entre Lâminas e Canetas: A Batalha Emocional dos Black Veil Brides
A música 'Knives And Pens' da banda Black Veil Brides é um grito de resistência e expressão pessoal, típico do estilo emocional e teatral que caracteriza o grupo. A banda, conhecida por seu visual glam rock e influências do metalcore, aborda em suas letras temas como alienação, luta e autoafirmação, e 'Knives And Pens' não é exceção. A canção parece falar sobre a batalha interna e a luta contra as adversidades, onde 'knives and pens' simbolizam as armas e ferramentas que o indivíduo possui para enfrentar seus desafios e escrever seu próprio destino.
A letra sugere um cenário de desesperança e perda de fé, mas ao mesmo tempo propõe uma resistência, uma luta para mudar a situação ('We're storming through this despite what's right'). A repetição do verso 'One final fight, for this tonight' reforça a ideia de um confronto decisivo, uma última chance de mudança ou redenção. A menção de 'lay your heart down the end is insight' pode ser interpretada como um apelo para que se coloque tudo em jogo, pois o fim ou a conclusão de algo está próximo.
A música também toca em temas de amor e perda, como evidenciado nos versos 'And I can't go on without your love, You lost, you never held on'. Isso pode sugerir uma relação que falhou ou uma luta interna onde o amor próprio ou por outra pessoa é um componente crítico. A banda consegue, através de uma combinação de letras intensas e uma sonoridade agressiva, transmitir a emoção de estar em um ponto crítico, onde a escolha entre lutar ou desistir é iminente. 'Knives And Pens' é, portanto, uma representação poderosa da luta pela identidade e pelo significado em um mundo que muitas vezes parece indiferente ou hostil.
Alone at last, we can sit and fight
Finalmente sozinhos, podemos sentar e lutar
And I've lost all faith in this blurring light
E eu perdi toda a fé nesta luz borrada
But stay right here we can change our plight
Mas fique bem aqui, podemos mudar nosso destino
We're storming through this despite what's right
Estamos avançando apesar do que é certo
One final fight, for this tonight
Uma luta final, para isso esta noite
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Whoa, com facas e canetas fizemos nosso apelo
Lay your heart down the ends in sight
Deite seu coração, o fim está à vista
Conscience begs for you to do what's right
A consciência implora para você fazer o que é certo
Everyday it's still the same dull knife
Todos os dias é a mesma faca sem corte
Stab it through and justify your pride
Crave-a e justifique seu orgulho
One final fight, for this tonight
Uma luta final, para isso esta noite
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Whoa, com facas e canetas fizemos nosso apelo
Whoa and I can't go on without your love
Whoa e eu não posso continuar sem o seu amor
You lost, you never held on
Você perdeu, você nunca se agarrou
We tried our best
Nós tentamos o nosso melhor
Turn out the light
Apague a luz
Turn out the light
Apague a luz
One final fight, for this tonight
Uma luta final, para isso esta noite

Alone at last, we can sit and fight
Finalmente solos, podemos sentarnos y pelear
And I've lost all faith in this blurring light
Y he perdido toda fe en esta luz borrosa
But stay right here we can change our plight
Pero quédate aquí, podemos cambiar nuestro destino
We're storming through this despite what's right
Estamos atravesando esto a pesar de lo que es correcto
One final fight, for this tonight
Una última pelea, por esto esta noche
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Whoa, con cuchillos y plumas hicimos nuestro destino
Lay your heart down the ends in sight
Deja tu corazón, el final está a la vista
Conscience begs for you to do what's right
La conciencia ruega que hagas lo que es correcto
Everyday it's still the same dull knife
Todos los días es el mismo cuchillo aburrido
Stab it through and justify your pride
Apúñalalo y justifica tu orgullo
One final fight, for this tonight
Una última pelea, por esto esta noche
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Whoa, con cuchillos y plumas hicimos nuestro destino
Whoa and I can't go on without your love

Et j'ai perdu toute foi en cette lumière floue
But stay right here we can change our plight
Mais reste ici, nous pouvons changer notre sort
We're storming through this despite what's right
Nous traversons cette tempête malgré ce qui est juste
One final fight, for this tonight
Un dernier combat, pour ce soir
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Whoa, avec des couteaux et des stylos nous avons fait notre lutte
Lay your heart down the ends in sight
Pose ton cœur, la fin est en vue
Conscience begs for you to do what's right
La conscience supplie pour que tu fasses ce qui est juste
Everyday it's still the same dull knife
Chaque jour, c'est toujours le même couteau terne
Stab it through and justify your pride
Plante-le et justifie ta fierté
One final fight, for this tonight
Un dernier combat, pour ce soir
Whoa, with knives and pens we made our plight
Whoa, avec des couteaux et des stylos nous avons fait notre lutte

Alone at last, we can sit and fight
Endlich allein, wir können sitzen und kämpfen

Lay your heart down the ends in sight
Leg dein Herz nieder, das Ende ist in Sicht
Conscience begs for you to do what's right
Das Gewissen fleht dich an, das Richtige zu tun
Everyday it's still the same dull knife
Jeden Tag ist es immer noch das gleiche stumpfe Messer

อยู่คนเดียวสุดท้าย เราสามารถนั่งและต่อสู้ได้
And I've lost all faith in this blurring light
และฉันได้สูญเสียความเชื่อมั่นทั้งหมดในแสงที่พร่ามัวนี้
But stay right here we can change our plight
แต่อยู่ตรงนี้ เราสามารถเปลี่ยนแปลงชะตากรรมของเราได้
We're storming through this despite what's right
เรากำลังพุ่งทะลุผ่านสิ่งนี้ แม้ว่ามันจะไม่ถูกต้องก็ตาม
One final fight, for this tonight
การต่อสู้ครั้งสุดท้าย สำหรับคืนนี้

Lay your heart down the ends in sight
วางหัวใจของคุณลง จุดจบอยู่ใกล้แล้ว
Conscience begs for you to do what's right
จิตสำนึกขอให้คุณทำสิ่งที่ถูกต้อง
Everyday it's still the same dull knife
ทุกวันยังคงเป็นมีดที่เฉื่อยชาเหมือนเดิม
Stab it through and justify your pride
แทงมันผ่านไปและชี้แจงความภาคภูมิใจของคุณ
One final fight, for this tonight

We're storming through this despite what's right
我们要冲破这一切，不管对错
