Lines such as "I'm giving into you" and "Family has tried to heal all my addictions" seem to strengthen this meaning, however Mark Chavez has stated that the song is about his bout with alcoholism and depression. Chavez stated that at one point he felt he was going to lose his record deal over booze and substances. He stated that the song was a way of him letting go.

Giving In
Adema Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Will you walk me to the edge again?
Shaking, lonely and I am drinking again
Woke up tonight and no one's here with me
I'm giving in to you

Take me under, I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight, I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble, I'm giving in to you

I'm crying tonight, I'm giving in to you

Caught up in life
Losing all my friends
Family has tried to heal all my addictions
Tragic it seems to be alone again
I'm giving in to you

Take me under, I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight, I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble, I'm giving in to you
I'm crying tonight, I'm giving in to you (oh fuck)

I look forward to dying tonight
Drink 'til I'm myself
Life's harder every day
The stress has got me
I'm giving in, I'm giving in, giving in, no

Take me under (I'm killing all the pain)
I'm dying tonight (I'm sick of all this pain)
Watch me crumble (I'm killing all the pain)
I'm crying tonight, I'm giving in to you

Take me under, I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight, I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble, I'm giving in to you
I'm crying tonight, I'm giving in to you (oh fuck)

Take me under, I'm giving into you (oh fuck)
I'm dying tonight, I'm giving in to you

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Adema's song 'Giving In' reflect the inner turmoil and struggles of an individual who is caught up in the vicious cycle of addiction. The song starts by depicting the desperation of the person as he pleads to be led to the edge again while drinking alone, highlighting his feelings of loneliness and hopelessness. As the song progresses, the person acknowledges his powerlessness and defeat, giving in to the addiction that seems to be consuming him.

The chorus, "Take me under, I'm giving in to you," reflects the person's surrender to his addiction, with the use of the word "you" hinting at the addiction as a personified entity that has taken control of him completely. The lines "Watch me crumble, I'm giving in to you, I'm crying tonight, I'm giving in to you" further reinforce the idea of the person being at the mercy of his addiction, leading to his emotional breakdown.

In the latter half, the person seems to have given up entirely, seeking solace in alcohol while acknowledging the futility of his situation. The lines "I look forward to dying tonight, Drink 'til I'm myself" portray the person's hopelessness and the feeling of getting closer to his true self while being inebriated. The chorus, repeated twice, drives home the idea of his complete surrender to the addiction.

Will you walk me to the edge again?
Shaking, lonely
And I am drinking again
Woke up tonight
And no one's here with me
I'm giving in to you

Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble
I'm giving in to you
I'm crying tonight

Caught up in life
Losing all my friends

Heal all my addictions
Tragic it seems to be alone again

Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble
I'm giving in to you
I'm crying tonight

I look forward to dying tonight
Drink 'til I'm myself
Life's harder every day
The stress has got me
I'm giving in
Giving, giving in now

Take me under
I'm killing all the pain
I'm dying tonight
I'm sick of all that faith
Watch me crumble
I'm killing all the pain
I'm crying tonight
I'm giving in to you

Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you
Watch me crumble
I'm giving in to you
I'm crying tonight

I'm giving in to you
Take me under
I'm giving in to you
I'm dying tonight
I'm giving in to you

@@danielditty2959 kindnof funny that no matter how many differences ir similarities we all have one of the single biggest unifying things is our mutual dislike of painful things, but you know you too either have or will understand why such things happened and as painful as things can be you should never lose sight of the happy balance and strive for it no matter what stage you find yourself in. Even if you're at the bottom of the ladder. Climbing will indeed cause you different kinds of pain but this is the difference between falling off the ladder or climbing it, by climbing you are focused on a goal to rid yourself of the things that caused you pain before and getting rid of them will also cause pain but you'll be one step closer to the end of it. Some lash out at God for letting life be like this but you will also find that life is filled with suffering for a purpose and that is to indicate the need for him. Some pain will never stop until the end but when you are at peace with that fact you will be able to find joy within the suffering itself. Closer than our closest friend but the most hated one at the same time, this is the human experience. After this we will never be human again so find peace early on and you'll endure all the suffering in the world to the end, salvation is given freely and must also be accepted freely, the easiest thing but also made impossibly hard and the only one standing in our way is ourselves so it is necessary to sacrifice all of the parts of you that are in the way of that goal. Then in the end you'll be ready to face what happens next.

Just one song could be the difference between life and death when we were young. My opinion, MOST of Todays Music is dead compared to the grundge bands and early alternarive rock and metal, Damn we called mudvayne, slipknot etc...Just Metal not heavy lol the days of being young!!!

When I was 13 the first metal record i bought was Hybrid Theory. I then bought Ademas first album not long after and loved both. Then 11 years later i was at download festival completely wasted when Korn were playing but something told me to check out their music album by album, I only remember freak on a leash and very vague memories of here to stay when i was 11-12 ish. Now I'm absolutely obsessed with Korn 5 years on from that download festival. I listen to every record, all the b sides, their music pretty much is the soundtrack of my early life.....

adub4ever what's so frustrating for this band is they have put out good music consistently. Even with new singers, each record is Adema at its core but different. Unstable was the band spreading their wings, Planets was more experimental, Kill The Headlights was epic in sound. Even Topple the Giants had some good songs.
