Die Right Here
David Hugo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I'm a good boy
A loner
But she's a socialite
From Minnesota
Sipping on rum and soda
So sweet like Coca-Cola
Oh my
And I don't know what she sees in me
We're opposites in ecstasy
So call me dumb or just lucky
But I forget to breathe, uh
I feel like I could die right here
Kiss you on the neck
And shed a single tear
No one would notice
If we disappeared
Romantic hopeless
I could die right here
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ooh
Ah-ah-ah-ooh
I could die right here
She looks like fireworks (fireworks)
Against a red sky
No words (no words)
Could ever do her justice
My favorite color is her
Skin in the summer like gold
And cocoa butter
Oh my (oh my)
And I don't know what she sees in me
We're opposites in ecstasy
So call me dumb or just lucky
But I forget to breathe, uh
I feel like I could die right here
Kiss you on the neck
And shed a single tear
No one would notice
If we disappeared
Romantic hopeless
I could die right here, ah-ah
I feel like I could die right here
Die right here
Like I could die right here
Die right here
We shed a single tear and disappear, 'cause I could
I could die right here
The lyrics of David Hugo's "Die Right Here" explore the overwhelming feeling of pure bliss that one experiences while being with someone they adore. The song is narrated by a person who is contrasting their own personality with their significant other's, who is much more outgoing and socially inclined than they are. The first verse mentions that she is a stoner, while the singer is quite the opposite, a good boy and a loner. Despite their differences, he can't deny the attraction he feels towards her. The way she sips on rum and soda and how sweet she is, makes him feel like he could die right there.
The lyrics talk about how he forgets to breathe and how he feels lucky to have her in his life. The chorus of the song has him expressing his desire to stay right where he is with her, dying in her arms without anyone noticing. He talks about kissing her on the neck while shedding a single tear, completely lost in the moment. This sense of pure joy and comfort he feels with her is what he wishes to hold onto.
In the second verse, he describes her beauty as fireworks against a red sky, something he thinks no words can ever do justice. He mentions that her skin in the summer is like gold and cocoa butter. The chorus repeats, with the lyrics talking about how they would shed a single tear and disappear together.
Overall, "Die Right Here" is a beautiful ode to the feeling of being lost in the moment with someone who makes your world a better place, with no one else to interfere.
