In that song, Vic says, “talking to my mama bout this little girl from Texas, what if I can’t forget you?” Now this song is titled “Texas is Forever” and says, “I’ve loved you ever since then.” This makes me think that he is talking about the same girl or same lost love. The love theme runs deep in this song because for fans who know their album, Selfish Machines, particularly the song “Caraphernelia,” will understand the similarities. The instruments got me hooked on this song, even the guitar riff in the beginning and before the verses is unique and unlike anything I have heard before. This talent makes him one of the best drummers in the genre. “Texas is Forever:” The drums in this song are one of the most crucial parts of this song because drummer, Mike Fuentes, is able to play faster than most. Lyrics that express lost love: “Don’t mean to break your heart/Pull the pin out of my heart.” Do not be intimidated by the length of it, it is one of the best opening songs on a record that I have heard in a long time. It is so different than the others because it sounds like there are different songs in this one, however, it stills comes off to me as a PTV song. But it was this opening that made me realize I was going to love this album, without even listening to the rest of the song or any others. “Dive In:” After listening to the beginning 25 seconds of pure guitar, I already was in love with this song. Most of vocalist Victor Fuente’s lyrics seem to express lost love. However, this is not the case every song on this record is so well crafted, catchy and still holds onto that something that makes listeners know that they are listening to a PTV song.Īlthough PTV’s lyrics are complex and could have multiple meanings, I noticed there is a theme of love and losing it. Because the wait was so long, fans were worried that the record would not live up to the standards PTV indirectly placed on themselves with their three previous releases.
Loyal and even new fans of Pierce the Veil (PTV) have been eagerly awaiting another release after their well-received 2012 record, Collide with the Sky. Album Review: Misadventures | Pierce the Veil
