The meaning of the lyrics of the song "Take the Bullets Away" by the artist "We As Human"

The song "Take the Bullets Away" by We As Human is a cry for help from a person on the verge of suicide. The lyrical hero is in deep despair, symbolized by a revolver with one bullet in the chamber. He feels lost, alone, and unloved, questioning his own worth and the meaning of life.

The attempt to find solace in religion was unsuccessful, the hero blames the "Son of God" for his troubles, perhaps disillusioned with a faith that did not bring answers and salvation.

The chorus of the song is a plea for help addressed to a higher power. The lyrical hero acknowledges his flaws ("worthless", "disgusting") but desperately seeks salvation from pain ("will You help me see the light of another day?"). The phrase "Take the bullets away!" is a metaphor for a request to be relieved of suffering, to remove thoughts of suicide and give a chance for a new life.

There are glimpses of hope in the song: the hero admits that he is "so disarmed" that he has "nothing left to fear" and is ready to "lay down all [his] weapons," meaning to abandon suicidal thoughts. The repetition of the chorus and the phrase "Take the bullets away!" reinforces the despair and the plea for help, leaving the listener with the hope that the hero will find the strength to live.
