How could someone not get this joke or is this just karma farming?

I truly don't get it. English is not my first language, and I have never heard of this analogy.

It’s a metaphor for how much you would do for someone. That you’d take a bullet for them.

The immediate reference is a song:

Catch a grenade. Put hand on a blade. Jump in front of a train. Take a bullet (to the brain, in this song, need to rhyme). Die for you.
