Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Where did you go, what did you find?
Where did all this come to an end?
Carry me, embrace me,
What I win or lose,
This is not true
Carry me
Do you see me, do you see me?
As I see you, so many tears in me have fallen
So many steps, I have been crawling
Carry me, embrace me,
What I win or lose,
This is not true
I am falling, falling
I am crawling, crawling
I am falling, falling
(I am falling)
I am crawling, crawling
(I've had enough of this, I am falling and I can't hear the truth,
I'm in distrust, you are in my dreams and I just can't hear the truth)
Carry me, embrace me,
What I win or lose,
This is not true
I am falling, falling
(I am falling, and I can't hear the truth)
I am crawling, crawling
(I'm in distrust, you are in my dreams and I just can't hear the truth)
I am falling, falling
I am falling
"Carry Me" by Dead by April is a song that expresses feelings of loneliness, confusion, and desperation for someone to help carry the weight of these emotions. The first verse, "I am still alone, turning to stone, Where did you go, what did you find? Where did all this come to an end?" reveals the singer's sense of detachment from the world and the uncertainty of where they fit in. The chorus, "Carry me, embrace me, What I win or lose, This is not true, Carry me" is a plea for someone to support them through their struggles, whether they win or lose, and to reassure the singer that the world is not as harsh as it seems.
The second verse, "Do you see me, do you see me? As I see you, so many tears in me have fallen, So many steps, I have been crawling," highlights the singer's feelings of invisibility and the emotional toll it takes. With so many tears shed and so many steps taken just to survive, the singer needs someone to carry them through the hardship.
The bridge of the song provides more insight into the singer's mindset, "I've had enough of this, I am falling and I can't hear the truth, I'm in distrust, you are in my dreams and I just can't hear the truth." The constant struggles have worn the singer down, causing them to doubt what's real and what's not, leading to confusion and emotional breakdowns.
