Line 293:
* [[Helloween]]'s song, [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hn-83gxiwwo (The Departed) Sun is Going Down].
{{quote|''I would die for you — would you die with me?
''No, you can't deny!
''Would you catch the bullet that was meant for me?
''Blaze across the sky!!'' }}
* The whole point of the song by [[The Rasmus]] called "Shot". Sample lyrics:
{{quote|''I'll take the shot for you
''I'll be the shield for you
''Needless to say
''I'll stand in your way
''I'll take the shot for you
''I'll give my life for you
* The song "San Francisco Fan", performed by [[Cab Calloway]] among other singers, is about a female performer who takes 'a dozen slugs' for her no-good gambling boyfriend after he's caught cheating at a game and someone tries to shoot him for it.
{{quote|''Once they caught him cheatin'
''And he knew that he was beaten
''When a miner aimed a pistol at his head.
''Fanny when she seen him
''Ran and jumped right in between 'em
''And she stopped a dozen slugs of poison lead.'' }}
* [[The Smiths]] in "What Difference Does It Make?"
{{quote|''But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you''}}
* The Bruno Mars song "Grenade" references this trope in every chorus
{{quote|''I'd catch a grenade for ya
''Throw my hand on a blade for ya
''I'd jump in front of a train for ya
''You know I'd do anything for ya
''I would go through all this pain
''Take a bullet straight through my brain
''Yes, I would die for you, baby
''But you won't do the same'' }}
* The tragic conclusion of the David Geddes song "Run, Joey, Run" has Julie taking a bullet from her enraged father meant for her boyfriend Joey.
