Died in your Arms
Alex M vs.Marc Van Damme Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Broken hearts lay all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
A diary sits by the bedside table
The curtains are closed
The cats in the cradle who would′ve thought
That a girl like me could come to this
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I,
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should′ve walked away
I should′ve walked away
I, I just died in your arms
Ohh
Is there any just 'cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I′m a name on a list
I try to be discreet
Then blow it again
I've lost and found
It′s my final mistake
She's loving by proxy
No give and all take
′Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy
One too many times
Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I,
I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must′ve been some kind of kiss
I should′ve walked away
I should've walked away
Ohh
The lyrics of Alex M vs. Marc Van Damme's song Died In Your Arms talks about a person who has been searching for love but has been unsuccessful in finding it. The person is surrounded by broken hearts and does not see an easy way to get out of this situation. The existence of a diary by the bedside table suggests that the person has been through multiple heartbreaks. The person realizes that they have made a mistake by falling for someone who does not reciprocate the love they are giving. The line "she's loving by proxy, no give and all take" indicates that the person is in a one-sided relationship where they are giving more than they are receiving.
The chorus "Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight, it must've been something you said, I just died in your arms tonight, Oh I, I, I just died in your arms tonight, it must've been some kind of kiss, I should've walked away" talks about the person's final mistake, which was falling for someone who does not value them. The person realizes that they should have walked away when they had the chance. The song reflects on the pain and regret the person is feeling because they gave too much to someone who did not reciprocate.
