Memento Mori
Bella Ruby Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It′s no a big surprise
You're a devil in disguise
I can′t seem to sleep at night
All these monsters in my head
All these monsters under my bed
All these voices, saying i'm better of dead yeah, i'm better of dead
Do you really wanna know how it feels?
When things don′t seem to fill, anywhere? (Can′t do this)
Anywhere (Can't do this)
Anywhere (I can′t do this)
Anywhere
All these monsters in my head
All these monsters under my bed
All these voices, saying i'm better of dead yeah, i′m better of dead
Are you better of dead?
All these monsters in my head
All these monsters under my bed
All these voices, saying i'm better of dead yeah, i′m better of dead
Are you better of dead?
Sleep at night
Sleep at night
Sleep at night
Sleep at night
Are you sleeping alright?

The repeated line "are you better off dead" indicates that the singer is questioning herself and perhaps others who may be going through a similar experience.
