Here Dead He Lies
BRNS Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Everything against us
May i struck us
You now that i'm not a roller coaster
You know how to hit a bird
It wasn't our fault
The shock was so long
Why before i try i can't not deny
I never wake up
There's no escape cause you die
(I'm your driver i move further i'm the killer on my knees)x10
I'm on the way you were on my way
Everything against us
May i struck us
You now that i'm not a roller coaster
You know how to hit a bird
It wasn't our fault
The shock was so long
Why before i try i can't not deny
I'm on my knee and i never be back on my feet
I never wake up
There's no escape cause you die
(I'm your driver i move further i'm the killer on my knees)x10
I'm the killeeeerrrr x4
The lyrics to BRNS's song 'Here Dead He Lies' have a haunting and ambiguous quality. The song speaks of an unknown incident that has caused shock and devastation to the singer, seemingly resulting in their death. The opening lines "I'm on the way you were on my way, everything against us, may I struck us" suggest a sense of fate or destiny, with the singer and the unknown second person on a collision course from which there was no escape.
The line "you know how to hit a bird" implies that the second person had some kind of skill or knowledge that could have prevented the tragic event from taking place, but for some reason, this knowledge was not applied. The singer expresses regret and confusion; "why before I try I can't not deny" suggests that they wish they had acted differently, but they are unable to understand why they didn't.
The repeated line "I'm your driver I move further, I'm the killer on my knees" creates a sense of unease and ambiguity. Is the singer responsible for the accident, or are they simply unable to forgive themselves for being involved? The final line "I'm the killer" appears to confirm the former, but it is left to the listener's interpretation to decide the exact meaning behind the lyrics.
