BILLY TALENT

- Saint Veronika Lyrics

"Saint Veronika"

They found an empty bottle on her windowsill
The day her mother lost her sleeping pills
She was sick and tired of being invisible
Hard to see in color when you're miserable

Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
So be strong enough to hold onto us
We're still right here by your side

No one ever thought that she was capable
And the damage done is irreversible
Now she clings to life inside a hospital
Like she's trapped inside a frozen waterfall
Always said her life was never meant to be
Stuck here living someone else's dream
Well beyond your window there is so much more
Even every prison has a open door

Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
So be strong enough to hold onto us
It's just not your time to die

And while the angels sleep
All of the devils are awake
Waiting to steal your love
Right outside of Heaven's gate
And all the sacred hearts
Can't numb the feeling from the pain
Cause when the drugs don't work
You're gonna curse His holy name
Damn God, yeah, God, yeah
Damn God, yeah, God, yeah

Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can't leave this world behind
Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika
We're still right here by your side
So be strong enough to hold onto us
You can't leave this world behind
Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika
It's just not your time to die

What is the meaning behind Saint Veronika lyrics?


When we interpret the meaning being expressed, Billy Talent's 'Saint Veronika' is about Veronika, a girl who feels like a ghost and is living her life unwillingly. Mental health is one of her battles as she receives help from others and then in turn is asked to hold on tightly by them. The 'Veronika, Saint Veronika' metaphor points to her power within and how she can bounce back from difficult times. The lyrics are full of angels, devils, and the whole conflict between faith and doubt. From one side Saint Veronika's lyrics pack a lot of angst, heartbreak, despair, empowerment, and hope; on the other, the song brings into light the mental health struggle, support and resilience, the search for purpose and spiritual conflict. There are mental health issues, drug references and existential questions in the lyrics which are not meant for kids below the age of 13. In the first place, the notion of 'drugs' and the emotional intensity of the issue make the movie suitable for viewers aged 13 and above.
