Asking Alexandria Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Oh my god
If only he knew
If only he knew
If only he knew about the world
Without the bullshit and the lies
We could've saved him
But instead I'm here drowning in my own fucking mind
And I'll be damned if you're the death of me
Blood and ink stain the walls
Silently with bloodied knuckles, carry on
Hoping it's not too wrong
You said the nights were far too long
Honey, it's just the start of it
Oh my god
If he only knew
Oh my god
If only he knew if only he knew
If only he knew
Just stand up and scream the tainted clock is counting down
You gave in to me would you say the nights are far too long now?
Oh my god (oh my fucking god)
The tears that stain my cheek must me look weak
I wear them proudly, I wear them proud
Just stand up and scream the tainted clock is counting down
You gave in to me would you say the nights are far too long now?
Your knife my back
My gun your head
Your knife my back
My gun your head
You need a doctor baby you scared?
You need a doctor baby you scared?
You need a doctor baby you scared?
You need a doctor baby you scared, you scared
You scared, you?
You need a doctor baby you scared?
You need a doctor baby you scared?
You need a doctor baby
You need a doctor baby you scared?
The lyrics in Asking Alexandria's song Final Episode convey a sense of regret and isolation. The repeated phrase "If only he knew" emphasizes the missed opportunity to save someone, presumably from a self-destructive path. The mention of "the world without the bullshit and the lies" suggests that the subject was blinded by falsehoods and promises, leading to their downfall. The singer, now alone and struggling with their own demons, wishes that they had done something to prevent what happened.
The chorus urges a defiant stance against the negativity and despair. "Just stand up and scream" encourages speaking out and not giving up, even when the odds seem insurmountable. The lines "your knife my back, my gun your head" evoke a sense of betrayal and retaliation, possibly indicating a tragic turn of events. The repeated line "You need a doctor baby, you scared?" seems to address someone else, questioning their mental state and hinting at the singer's own struggles.
Overall, the lyrics present a complex mix of regret, anger, and hopelessness. The singer seems to be grappling with their own limitations and wishing they had done more to help someone in need, while also acknowledging the harsh reality of a world full of pain and deception.
