Romantic Homicide
d4vd Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning | Line by Line Meaning
Enlighten me, my dear
Why am I still here? Oh
I don't mean to be complacent with the decisions you made
But why? Oh
In the back of my mind you died
And I didn't even cry
No, not a single tear
And I'm sick of waiting patiently
For someone that won't even arrive
Whoa
In the back of my mind I killed you
And I did not even regret it
I can't believe I said it
But it's true, I hate you
The lyrics to d4vd's song "Romantic Homicide" speak to a feeling of frustration and disappointment in a relationship that was once thought to be loving and strong. The speaker is scared and feels like their partner has stopped caring for them. They ask their partner to enlighten them and question why they are still in the relationship if they are not receiving the love and attention they need.
The speaker reflects on a moment in the past where they imagined their partner dying and realized that the thought did not elicit any tears or sadness from them. This realization causes them to feel conflicted and confused about their relationship. They are tired of waiting for someone who may never arrive and have come to the realization that they have become complacent with the decisions made in the relationship.
The turn in the song comes when the speaker admits that in the back of their mind, they have actually imagined killing their partner and do not regret the thought. This admission shows the extreme frustration and animosity the speaker feels towards their partner. The song explores the complexities of human emotions and the struggles that can arise in romantic relationships.

I can't believe I said it
I'm surprised I even spoke those words out loud
But it's true, I hate you
But it's the truth, I have strong dislike towards you

I'm scared
It feels like you don't care
Enlighten me, my dear
Why am I still here, oh
I don't mean to be complacent
With the decision you made, but why?
In the back of my mind
You died
And I didn't even cry, no
Not a single tear
And I'm sick of waiting patiently
For someone that won't even arrive
In the back of my mind
I killed you
And I didn't even regret it
I can't believe I said it
But it's true
I hate you🙃
