Dead Inside
As|Of Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I felt so alone
You left feeling so empty and needing
Can't see the glitter in you
You called me all the time
Hiding behind your lies materialistic

Go away
You don't know what it's like to be dead inside
You called him a friend to help you get through it
I see your true face now
Well my tears are gone, I am happy now
Thanks for making it clear

Go away
You don't know what it's like to be dead inside(Repeat 2times)
I am dead to you
You take my heart and used it as a tool
I wish that this would just go away
You can't find love you can't cry tears
(Low Growl)

You won't be crying alone
Dead Inside (repeat 7 times)
Who are you today, another face erased
(Low Growl)

Dead Inside(Deep Growl)
You don't know what its like to be Dead Inside
You don't know what its like to be Dead Inside
Who are you

Your dead inside




Dead inside!
Your Dead Inside

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to As|Of's song Dead Inside deal with themes of betrayal, materialism, and emotional numbness. The opening lines set a lonely tone, with the singer feeling abandoned and empty after being mistreated by someone. The chorus is where the song's message really comes through strongly, with the singer telling this person to go away because they don't understand what it's like to be "dead inside". The repetition of this phrase makes it clear that the singer feels emotionally numb and disconnected from this person, who seems to care more about material possessions than true emotion.


The second verse provides more detail about the situation, with the singer revealing that this person was hiding behind lies and using them as a tool rather than truly caring about them. The low growl towards the end of the verse adds a sense of anger and frustration to the song. The bridge is particularly powerful, with the singer asserting that this person won't be crying alone because they themselves are "dead inside". The final repetition of "you're dead inside" is particularly haunting, emphasizing the song's message of emotional detachment and the damage that can be caused by superficiality and insincerity.

Hey pretty baby with the sun in your eye
You make feel like i'm up in the sky
I wanna tell you, wanna make you mine
I'm all talk with a thorn in my side
I've got a real big heart
That i'm willing to hide
You ask me what i want from life
I said to make a lot of money
And feel dead inside
Hey pretty baby, can you feel that heat?
You got me twitching to the edge of my seat
I take your hand, lead you out to the street
To tell you that
Your golden hair and pale blue eyelids
Make me feel like i might go wild
Cheetah print makes me a liar
So i tell you i just like your smile
I'm all talk with a thorn in my side
Ive got a real big heart
That i'm willing to hide
You ask me what i want from life
I said to make a lot of money
And feel dead inside
I'm all talk with a thorn in my side
Ive got a real big heart
That i'm willing to hide
You ask me what do I think of life?
I said baby not much, I wanna die
I'm all talk with a thorn in my side
Ive got a real big heart
That i'm willing to hide
You ask me what i want from life
I said to make a lot of money
And feel dead inside
