The Death Of Me
Asking Alexandria (UK) Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Am I insane?
I ask myself over and over and over again
Trapped in my brain
Pull it out from the cracks in my skull
Am I alone?
Surrounded by shadows
I think I might just be suffocating
The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there

Am I insane?
Am I insane?
Am I insane?

The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there

I won't let you be the death of me
No I refuse to let you bring me down
Bring me down
I won't let you make me out to be
The one who's in the wrong
And I've lost my mind before
But now I'm back
And I'm better than ever

Am I insane?
I've rolled myself over
And screamed till I spit up blood
Trapped in my brain
The answer has taken my hands to pull my eyeballs out

Am I alone?
The voices who fight in my brain just won't fucking go away

The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there

Am I insane?
Am I insane?
Am I insane?

Am I alone surrounded by death?
I think this might just be the end

Am I insane?
Am I insane?
Am I insane?

The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there

You can't take this away from me
You can't release these demons
You can't make this OK for me
You're the one who caused these feelings

I apologize for what I'm about to do
I try to sympathize
But at the end of the day
You brought this on yourself

I won't let you be the death of me
No I refuse to let you bring me down
Bring me down
I won't let you make me out to be
The one who's in the wrong
And I've lost my mind before
But now I'm back
And I'm better than ever
Now I'm back
And I'm better than ever

The tears
Have left a blur
That I can't explain
The pain
Has left a hole
In which my heart should've been

I'm blind with rage
And I can't shake this feeling
Irrational
Impetuous
And intemperate

I'm blind with rage
And I can't shake this feeling
Irrational
Impetuous
And temperate

I won't let you be the death of me
I refuse to let you bring me down
Bring me down
I won't let you make me out to be
The one who's in the wrong




And I lost my mind before
But I'm back and I'm better than ever

Surrounded by sin I think
It might just be the end

The one who's in the wrong
And I've lost my mind before
But now I'm back
And I'm better than ever

Am I insane?
I ask myself over and over and over again
Flies in my brain
Pouring out from the cracks in my skull
Am I alone?
Surrounded by sin and
I think I might just be suffocating
The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there.
Am I insane?
Am I insane?
Am I insane?
The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there.
I won't let you be the death of me
No, I refuse to let you bring me down (bring me down)
I won't let you make me out to be
The one who's in the wrong
I know I've lost my mind before
But now I'm back
And I'm better than ever
Am I insane?
I fold myself over and scream 'til I'm spitting blood
Flies in my brain
The itching is incomprehensible and it won't stop
Am I alone?
The voices grow fainted
But they just won't fucking go away
The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there
Am I insane?
Am I insane?
Am I insane?
Am I alone?
Surrounded by sin
I think this might just be the end
Am I insane?
Am I insane?
Am I insane?
The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there.
You can't take this away from me
You can't relieve these demons
You can't make this OK for me
You're ones who caused these feelings
I apologize for what I'm about to do
I tried to sympathize
But at the end of the day
You brought this on yourself
I won't let you be the death of me
No, I refuse to let you bring me down (bring me down)
I won't let you make me out to be
The one who's in the wrong
I know I've lost my mind before
But now I'm back and I'm better than ever
Now I'm back and I'm better than ever
The tears
Have left a blur
That I can't explain
The pain has left a hole
In which my heart should have been
I'm blind with rage
And I can't shake this feeling
Irrational, Impetuous, Intemperate
I'm blind with rage
And I can't shake this feeling
Irrational, Impetuous, Intemperate
I won't let you be the death of me
I refuse to let you bring me down (bring me down)
I won't let you make me out to be
The one who's in the wrong
I know I've lost my mind before
But now I'm back

Peak of this band. "From Death to Destiny" is one of the best rock/metal albuns from the last decade.
They are HIGHLY underestimated by old fans that enjoy the only 2 first albums and people who know them only from the latest miss this one. It''s a gem.

Johnny Morningstar

I agree. I love how the first 3 albums tell the story of going from a broken heart in the first album, in the second Danny is over it now that he has fame money and girls, and in the third he realizes it was destroying him and he needed to get out.

Then he actually left because he knew he had to. I like some of their newer stuff and I will always love them for getting me through shit because those albums have literally been the soundtrack to my own personal life. The new albums show a more mature side, which is cool, but From Death to Destiny ended up being my favorite release of theirs.

Alexander Alcantar

This song literally helped me with my heroin addiction. I'm a year clean from it and this song keeps me going . Thanks guys . Still my favorite band for years and I wish I could come to a show but money is an issue :/ keep it up
