“Death Of An Executioner” is the first track off Pierce The Veil’s fifth studio album “The Jaws Of Life” and is about social media and the representation of others always having an unreal expectation of perfection and how people are always waiting for you to make a mistake so that they can destroy y...
[Verse 1]
Headlights on your back tonight
Kill the weight, now we're fast and light
Please don't cool my war machine
Performance high and deafening
Blood dries on the sparkling lead paint
Kill the competition, I
Bleed your fuel, I'm siphoning
The soul left out, I
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold my breath and drive
Staring at the sky
Luminous and bright
Running out of time
[Chorus]
Blood red moonlight
Gaining 'til you're over me
Beautiful as everything is crumbling
The flames dance off your eyes
[Verse 2]
Cigarettes on a dark, bent highway
Follow you from a distance like
Demons in a dеath machine
I feel your stomach tightening
The powеr lines from above see nothing
So tell the world what I want, I'm gonna get
I pray for bones to break and mirrors to shatter, I
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold my breath and drive
Staring at the sky
Luminous and bright
Running out of time
[Chorus]
Blood red moonlight
Gaining 'til you're over me
Beautiful as everything is crumbling
The flames dance off your eyes
[Bridge]
Blood red moon—
Blood red moonlight
Blood red moon— (Uh)
[Chorus]
Blood red moonlight
Gaining 'til you're over me
Beautiful as everything is crumbling
The flames dance off your eyes
[Interlude]
Ah!
[Chorus]
Blood red moonlight
Gaining 'til you're over me
Beautiful as everything is crumbling
The flames dance off your eyes (Oh!)
[Outro]
Blood red moonlight

The visual of this song, to me, is a car that’s following you—like the video for “Karma Police” by Radiohead. It’s got its headlights on your back, and it’s just kind of slowly creeping on you. To me, it represents social media and people expecting perfection out of you and always waiting for you to...
