Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Some with namesI sometimes call
I dropa coin and watch it fall
Tryin' to get connected to you
A thousand hours all alone
My softest pillow turns hard as stone
This is the longest night on my own
Sometimes I shake my head
And laugh to myself
I'd like start again with somebody Ellis
I'm like a broken toy forgotten on the self
Baby, I could have been someone
I could have been something
It would have been nothing to die for you
Baby, you're going to need me
You'd better believe me
It would have been easy to die for you
A milloin memories flood my brain
Drown my sorrow
Kill my pain
Whets my thirst for you again
Just another night to get through
All my neighbors scream for quite at my door
Shattered glass and torn up photos on
Thrown on the floor
Well, I couldn't stand to see your pictures
Anymore
Baby, I could have been someone
I could have been something
It would have been nothing to die for you
Baby, you're going to need me
You'd better believe me
It would have been easy to die for you
These cuts are deep but you plead
Innocent
Are you hell or are you heaven-sent
You're much too cold to know how much
You ment to me, Yeah
A billion tear drops fallen from my eyes
but it's just a joke now
And
I'm laughing at your lies
You made me hard as rock and now
I realize
Baby, I could have been someone
I could have been something
It would have been nothing to die for you
Baby, you're going to need me
You'd better believe me
It would have been easy to die for you
The lyrics of Alice Cooper's "Die for You" speak of a man who is deeply in love with someone who is not reciprocating his feelings. He has a hundred numbers on his wall, some with names he sometimes calls, desperately trying to get connected with her. He spends a thousand hours alone, reminiscing about her and hoping for her love. The lyrics describe him as being a broken toy, forgotten on the shelf, and wishing he could start again with somebody else.
The chorus speaks of him being willing to die for her and how easy it would have been. He remembers a million memories and how they all make him thirsty for her love, but ultimately he cannot stand to see her pictures anymore. In the end, he realizes that she made him as hard as a rock and left him with nothing but his deep love for her, even as he laughs at her lies. The lyrics paint a picture of unrequited love and the pain that comes with it.
