Completely
Art of Dying Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I see an end
Our sun will dive
Blood alone won't bring you life

Darkness falls
Curtains rise
But you and I just can't survive
Like broken glass
I see through you
I can't believe the things that you do

With open eye's been cut before
Now I see through closing doors
Watch what you wish for, you know you just might get it

Completely without me
What's in your head is on your hands
Completely without me
I over turned, I understand that,
Everything you want ain't always what you need
Completely without me
Completely without me

It's hard to sleep in the bed you make
With all the bones that you daybreak

You taught me well
Sure I learned that most of us get what we deserve

Give me your heart of rusty nails
And now you ask why it impales

What you hide you can't conceal
Through your eyes all is revealed
Watch what you wish for, you know you just might get it

Completely without me
What's in your head is on your hands
Completely without me
I over turned, I understand that,
Everything you want ain't always what you need
Completely without me
Completely,
I can't feel your...

Completely without me
What's in your head is on your hands
Completely without me
I over turned, I understand that,
Everything you want ain't always what you need
Completely without me
Completely without me




Completely without me
Completely without me

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Art of Dying's song "Completely" is about the end of a relationship that was once valuable but is now deteriorating. The first stanza talks about the inevitability of the end with the use of dark imagery: the sun will dive, and darkness falls. The phrase "Blood alone won't bring you life" suggests that no matter how much one may try to revive something that is already dying, it won't work. The second stanza mentions the inability to move past the relationship and survive without each other, using the metaphor of broken glass. The third stanza portrays the consequences of one's actions, and how they will always come back to "impale" them. The chorus repeats the title, "Completely," indicating how the person who ended the relationship has left the other completely alone, and now they have to face the consequences of their actions.
