Billy Talent - Tears Into Wine Lyrics






The gun is loaded when the glass is full
Down the hatch and the trigger's pulled
Off the wagon and back onto the stool
I know that when I stare into your eyes
I can see all the years of lies
Ghosts and demons you never exorcised

All the friends that I've ever known
Are the streetlamps I follow home
And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone

Oh Lord, I just can't
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave that's alright
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine

His fate was written on a neon sign
A DUI never changed his mind
He got hooked like a fish caught on a line
You never gave yourself a chance to shine
Your destination's a chalk outline
And when you get to the gates you'll be denied

All the friends that I've ever known
Are the streetlamps I follow home
And I'm in the crowd but I'm all alone

Oh Lord, I just can't
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave that's alright
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine

Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave that's alright
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine

All the friends that I've ever known
Are the streetlamps I follow home
The tide keeps pulling me down
I try to reach higher ground
I'll never give up and drown

Even though I just can't
Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave that's alright
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine

Tear the moon from the stars tonight
Twist my arm like a knife tonight
And if you wanna leave that's alright
Well I'll just turn these tears into wine
Tears into wine
Tears into wine
Well, I'll just turn these tears into wine

  4. B.... M....

    🙏🏽

  5. T.... R....

    So sad, this world is obsessed with stupid, nonsense "music" where all those "artists" sell their bodies and stupid rhythms, while those masterpieces are so underrated, this society is so fcking blind, just listening to something that doesn't even have a meaning. Billy Talent as a band is so underrated, and I personally feel so sorry for that. Love them so so much. 🤘🤘🤘

  14. G.... D....

    This song helped me feel less alone today❤️

  15. E.... L....

    je suis du Québec, j'adore billy talent, malheureusement, tout les gens du secondaire apprécie les chansons du genre "worth it", ils n'ont aucune idées à quel point du Billy Talent et du Rise Against surclasse tous les autres chansons de nos jours :(

  16. Y.... C....

    Good shit

  17. J.... A....

    All their songs are amazing except for maybe louder than the DJ

  18. E.... S....

    Love the song but the bitrate on this audio file is like what? 56k? is terrible sound quality... shame, prob best BT song.

  19. n.... r....

    hell ya fucken love it all punk koo man

  20. Z.... ....

    Oh man the memories this is really sad thinking of how fast time passes it feels like just yesterday I was watching my brother play hockey and listening to billy talent all the time and now he's gone to university and I only see him every once in a while. This hit me hard.

    R.... S....

  26. J.... E....

    I don't know why but this song remember me trigun

  27. R.... Y....

    It's like, WEIRDLY underrated, how haven't this song dominated the scene?

    R.... Y....

    Considering this album came out in 2009, it's not hard to see that it doesn't dominate the scene today. Music like this needs to be recognized

  28. M.... P....

    The only band that makes Canada look good

  43. P.... D....

    Guitarist is on point

  44. A.... B....

    First time I heard this, I thought it was about a school shooting because I heard: "The gun is loaded and the class is full". lol

    A.... B....

    I've always thought that was the line until I seen the lyrics today.

    A.... B....

    Its a little hint to that, not a mistake

    A.... B....

    Yeah, weirdly, I'm not sure if they have a school shooter song. It they do it's probably one Billy Talent I though.

  45. C.... A....

    white sparrows daha bi güzel be ama buda efsane

    R.... ....

    RA M ohhh yeah at thies moment you was drunk

  61. J.... L....

    "All the friends that I've ever known are the street lamps I follow home and I'm the crowd but I'm all alone" thank you Billy Talent for being there when everything just faded in the background and when I had no one.

    J.... L....

    any clue what it might be? another song from BT?

    J.... L....

    +Joris Minne It's this song bro

    J.... L....

    A piece of me is laying here.

    J.... L....

    that's the same shit I'm thinking of, that's why I love this band so much.
    Actually, I can't tell if I'd still be alive without them, but still, they helped me.

  62. M.... K....

    Best Billy Talent song!!

    i.... ....

    +Syracuse its not like real strangers put that information on the internet so whos to know if anyone will find the makeup bullshit i put on wiki for shits and giggles

    i.... ....

  71. N.... B....

    All the fiends that I've ever known,
    Are the streetlamps I follow home,
    And I'm in this crowd but I'm all alone

    The lyrics are devestatingly good! One of the best Bands ever founded! <3

  72. l.... ....

    Love it!

  73. M.... -....

    Tear the moon from the stars tonight
    Twist my arm like a knife tonight
    And if you wanna leave that's alright
    Well I'll just turn these tears into wine

    Poetry..

    M.... -....

    mxandguys nice

    M.... -....

    Portable Slave twisting a knife in the wound

    M.... -....

    Shouldn't it be tell the moon from the stars though? Would make more sense..

    M.... -....

    tear my arm to the bleed tonight

    M.... -....

    or maybe if my arm becames a knife it could block the blade and so i'll just can't
    so do his tears ever becomes wine ?

  74. K.... G....

    CANADA ROCKS!

    I'm gonna go ride my polar bear and hunt deers before returning to my rightful place in my igloo now, if you don't mind. (Leaves)

    K.... G....

    Hmm I feel conflicted bye this

  75. b.... ....

    Can a European join the blame game here?!

  76. H.... ....

    This is one of the (probably) most unintentionally funny comments I've ever seen haha!

  77. d.... r....

    im Canadian but that's still funny as hell

  78. h.... P....

    Dont forget missiles...

  79. L.... C....

    HOLY CRAP! Enough of all of these Canadian stereotypes! Okay?! They're funny at the start but don't overuse them! Canadians are not all super nice! I know a fuck-load of mean Canadians. Americans are just mean! And that's a bad thing! We're separated by a line. You guys just pick on us because we beat you in the war of 1812! SHAME ON ALL OF YOU! THE WHOLE BILLY TALENT BAND WOULD FALCON PUNCH YOU IF YOU MET THEM! Oh and HAMBURGERS OBESITY AND COWBOYS!

  80. T.... ....

    hahaha you guys are cracking me up!!!

  81. O.... L....

    You offended me! I'll just cry in my room and watch hockey on TV while eating poutine.

    [Some time later]

    That was a bad reaction from me...I'm sorry, eh?

  82. R.... S....

    I'll never know.

  83. R.... Z....

    I'm Canadian and I am still offended!


    Sorry for yelling, eh?

  84. T.... ....

    Just saw these canadian mother f*****s at Warped today. :] P.S. I censored the swear word so I don't offend any real Canadians that may or may not be reading this.

  85. L.... M....

    somehow i like this song of billy talent most of all :)

  86. h.... ....

    He failed at grammar, not spelling. :/

  87. T.... F....

    I like how the absolute TOP comment fails with grammar.

  88. T.... ....

    Uh... Which one? Yours?

  89. M.... ....

    i was there and will see them in august @ frequency

  90. b.... ....

    It's not about the spelling, it's about sending a message :D

  91. D.... H....

    this song is about alcoholism, plain and simple

  92. J.... L....

    for the longest time i thought they said all just turn these tears into ice

  93. N.... S....

    It's possible it's referencing both. Glass is the official lyric yes, and it does say down the hatch ie drinking, but it is about a shooting at the same time, just not a school shooting, some form of hostage taking which results in the death of the gunman - 'your destination is a chalk outline.' I believe it to be about the lack of support available to hard criminals which results in them re-offending and returning to prison. 'The dirt keeps pulling me down.' That's my take on it.

  94. C.... ....

    Wow.. everyone really looked deeply into this song, I just enjoy it! :)

  95. T.... W....

    "I like how the 1 of the top comments"? LOL, Epic fail at grammar?

  96. A.... ....

    Really? Wow, that just shoots down my theory.

  97. J.... S....

    I like how one of the top comments failed at grammar.

  98. A.... ....

    To elaborate:

    "Well if you want to leave that's all right, well I'll just turn these tears into wine"

    Someone makes a break for it, and the guy shoots. It's really not that hard to interpret. Oh, and when I said "referencing a school shooting", I meant "representing a school shooting".
