Rojas reveals, "For a part of my life, I battled alcoholism. It became my armor, my shield and I felt numb to the pain. I was actually going to write about how my addiction was slowly killing me but things changed as my son sat down to help write.
"The song started from my perspective, I was convinced that the pain was mine alone, that I was the only one getting hit by the bullets because I was the one holding the bottle. But a comment from my son, Blaise, shifted everything. `Daddy, you might not have felt anything, but we felt every shot.' WOW, that hit me hard and I couldn't see the song the same way anymore."
The lyrics --- I dance through the night with my demons and sing to the soundtrack of giving in --- is talking about battling the fear of change, and the painful realization of the damage done. But the song is also a call for redemption, a plea to reconnect with Jesus and to feel again.
Rojas continues, "It would mean the world to us if you would pre-save `A Bullet Meant for Me'... This is more than a song to us, it's a beacon for those who've felt the sting of those unseen bullets and a testament to the healing power of God's redemption. It's never too late to put down the gun, face the damage done, and start the journey towards healing."
