Death of Me
▶ red Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But I was comfortable inside these wounds
So go ahead and take another piece of me, now
While we all bow down to you
You tear me down
And then you pick me up
You take it all
You try to tell me
You can heal me
But I'm still bleeding
And you'll be the death of me
How can you end my affliction
If you're the sickness and I'm the cure'
Too long I've faked this addiction
Another sacrifice to make us pure
You tear me down
And then you pick me up
You take it all
And still it's not enough
You try to tell me
You can heal me
But I'm still bleeding
And you'll be the death of me
You tear me down
And then you pick me up
You take it all
And still it's not enough
You try to tell me
You can heal me
But I'm still bleeding
And you'll be the death of me
I won't forget
I cannot forget this
I won't forget
I'll never forget this
I won't forget
I cannot forget this
I won't forget
I'll never forget this
I won't forget
I cannot forget this
I won't forget
I'll never forget this
I won't forget
I cannot forget this
I won't forget
I'll never forget
You know I can never prove this solution
You aren't the one that I thought you were
And so I learn to embrace this illusion
The line that separates
It starts to blur
You tear me down
And then you pick me up
You take it all
And say it's not enough
You try to tell me
You can heal me
But I'm still bleeding
And you'll be the death of me
And you'll be the death of me
I will not forget
I cannot forget this
And you'll be the death of me
In "Death of Me," the singer reflects on a toxic relationship that has caused them to internalize their pain and become complacent in their suffering. They admit to having seen warning signs of the relationship's negative impact, yet chose to disregard them and continue on with the relationship, living within the wounds they created for themselves. The other person in the relationship has a power over them that they cannot resist, even though they know it is destructive. The singer sees the irony in the fact that the person who claims to offer healing is the same person causing the pain. They describe the relationship like a cycle, with the other person tearing them down, then building them back up, taking all they have and leaving them still empty. The singer knows that they won't be able to forget the experience, and the effects of the relationship continue to haunt them.
The second verse expands on the tension of the relationship, as the singer wonders how the other person can save them when they are the one causing harm. They confess that they have been pretending to enjoy the addiction to the relationship, but in reality, it is just another sacrifice in pursuit of some sort of purification. The chorus repeats the cycle and highlights that no matter how much the other person claims to help them, they are still in pain, and in the end, it will lead to their demise.
Overall, the lyrics of "Death of Me" paint a picture of a relationship that is harmful and doing more harm than good, yet the singer is powerless to escape. They have become accustomed to the pain and accept it as part of their existence.

I should have seen those signs all around me
I missed the signs of danger that were all around me
But I was comfortable inside these wounds
I was used to the pain and found comfort in it
So go ahead and take another piece of me, now
You can keep hurting me, go ahead and take more from me
While we all bow down to you
Everyone around me is submitting to your control
You tear me down
You break me apart and make me feel worthless
And then you pick me up
But then you offer me hope and lift me up
You take it all
You demand everything from me
And still it's not enough
Even when I give you everything, you're still not satisfied
You try to tell me
You promise me
You can heal me
That you can fix all my problems
But I'm still bleeding
But I'm still hurting despite your promises
And you'll be the death of me
Your actions will be the cause of my eventual demise
How can you end my affliction
How can you cure me of my pain
If you're the sickness and I'm the cure'
If you're the problem and I'm the solution
Too long I've faked this addiction
I've been pretending to enjoy this situation for too long
Another sacrifice to make us pure
Another painful sacrifice to make things right between us
I won't forget
I will always remember
I cannot forget this
I cannot erase this memory from my mind
I'll never forget this
This memory will be with me forever
You know I can never prove this solution
I know that I can't prove that things will get better
You aren't the one that I thought you were
You've shown me that you're not the person I believed you to be
And so I learn to embrace this illusion
So I've decided to accept this false sense of reality
The line that separates
The line that divides us
It starts to blur
It begins to fade away
