Quote #1

Stronger than before
When your life becomes a war
Set The World On Fire

Proud in all you are
Showing every scar
As your badge of honor

When you can’t take anymore
Of what they’re living for
Set The World On Fire - Andrew Biersack, Black Veil Brides, Set The World On Fire.

This is a quote from the song Set The World On Fire. This quote overall shows a reflection, but a different perspective of 'disgrace'. Many people view such anxieties, and scars as disgraceful and embarrassing. Andy is saying that you should not let such things rule your life, and reflects upon the actions of many of his fans. He is trying to show acceptance, and help his fans to get over feeling their disgrace.


In a modern society, feelings can be viewed as weakness. This quotation is a metaphor. No, Mr.Biersack is not intending for his fans to light things on fire, but he means to be yourself, even if others do not like it. Shake up the ideals of 'normal'. This is meant to be inspirational, to help people overcome their feelings of disgrace, and reflect positively for their future. Many men view being upset as an embarrassment, or disgrace. This quote is saying that it is okay...


The speaker was Andrew Dennis Biersack, the creator, lyricist, and vocalist of the growing band; Black Veil Brides. The time was 2011, and the circumstance referred to his adolescence, and refers to his fans. The significance of this quote is how so many teens look up to him for guidance, because he grew up going through the harassment and judgments of being different. This connects to my reflection because Andy knows what he is talking about. He is encouraging his fans to push through it, use the pain to themselves stronger, and not let the world get them down. He wants his fans to be like him and survive the teen years.
