Die Alone
Belly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You are about to discover the world of horror
Look no further than one's own mind
To find the very place where demons, even monsters hide
If you wish to vacate the premises please do so now
Well then, you've been warned
I don't have the heart to hurt you
Don't you let your feelings steer you
Steer you straight into the wall
If you're still here by tomorrow
I'll forget about your past
She said hold me like the first day
I said fuck me like the last
Cause you know I'm gon'
Die alone, die, die alone
(Possibly)
Die alone, die, die alone
(Probably)
Die alone, die, die alone
(Possibly)
Die alone, die, die alone
I stayed away for days and months
Till the pain was numb
You see, I became the one I had to save you from
Everybody wanna tell you what you can't become
But wait, even the Devil was an angel once
I ain't the one, del toro with a loaded gun
Fear and loathing in the Vegas sun, like it's '71
You said I'm better when I'm sober but that's when we conflicted
I was never sober around you, couldn't see the difference
I told her maybe I'm just mad at myself
I think thats why I love everything that's bad for my health
Why am I dying to see Heaven when I was happy with Hell
Somebody take this pack of shells and put em' back on the shelf (I mean)
Insomnia turn me into a zombie
I'm coming for all the moment they rob me of
Now it's obvious, since you made it a hobby of watching us
I be popping up, and coping all my ops binoculars like its the opera ugh!
I don't have the heart to hurt you
I don't have a heart at all
Don't you let your feelings steer you
Steer you straight into the wall
Cause you know I'm gon'
Die alone, die, die alone
(Possibly)
Die alone, die, die alone
(Probably)
Die alone, die, die alone
(Possibly)
Die alone, die, die alone
The song "Die Alone" by Belly is a haunting track that showcases the artist's deep and dark thoughts. In the opening lines, he warns the listener that they are about to enter the world of horror, where even demons and monsters reside. This sets the mood for the rest of the song, which is filled with lines about loneliness, addiction, and the struggle to find happiness.
The chorus of the song repeats the lines "Die alone, die, die alone" multiple times, possibly signifying a fear of dying without anyone by our side. Belly then talks about how he doesn't have a heart to hurt anyone and how he doesn't have a heart at all, indicating a sense of numbness and detachment from his emotions. He warns against letting one's feelings steer them into a wall, perhaps referring to the dangerous consequences of acting impulsively based on emotions.
Belly talks about his struggle with addiction, including the feeling of being better when sober but not being able to see the difference when around certain people. He also touches upon the paradoxical nature of addiction, where he is dying to see heaven but is happy with hell. The song ends with Belly talking about insomnia turning him into a zombie and how he feels like he is constantly being watched, perhaps indicating a sense of paranoia and a fear of being alone.

Good Evening, it would be uncivilized to bring you this presentation without fair warning
I am about to present to you a world of horror and it would be impolite if I didn't warn you first
You are about to discover the world of horror
You will now unearth the terrifying world of horror
Look no further than one's own mind
The mind is the ultimate source of demons and monsters
To find the very place where demons, even monsters hide
The mind is where the most heinous beings reside
If you wish to vacate the premises please do so now
If you're not ready to experience this horror, now is the time to leave
Well then, you've been warned
I gave you fair warning
I don't have the heart to hurt you
I am incapable of causing you pain
I don't have a heart at all
I am incapable of feeling emotions
Don't you let your feelings steer you
Don't let your emotions guide you
Steer you straight into the wall
Otherwise, you'll crash and burn
If you're still here by tomorrow
If you're still by my side tomorrow
I'll forget about your past
I won't judge you based on your past
She said hold me like the first day
She wants me to hold her like I did on our first day
I said fuck me like the last
I want her to sleep with me like it's the last time we'll ever be together
Cause you know I'm gon'
Because you know that I'm going to
Die alone, die, die alone
I'm going to end up dying alone
(Possibly)
Die alone, die, die alone
I'll end up dying all by myself
(Probably)
Die alone, die, die alone
I'll die all alone
(Possibly)
Die alone, die, die alone
I'll meet my end in solitude
I stayed away for days and months
I was absent for extended periods of time
Till the pain was numb
Until I no longer felt any pain
You see, I became the one I had to save you from
In a twisted way, I became the one I was supposed to protect you from
Everybody wanna tell you what you can't become
Everyone has an opinion on what you can't achieve
But wait, even the Devil was an angel once
Even the most evil being was once good
I ain't the one, del toro with a loaded gun
I'm not the one to mess with, I'm like del toro with a loaded gun
Fear and loathing in the Vegas sun, like it's '71
I'm feeling paranoid and scared, like in the movie 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas'
You said I'm better when I'm sober but that's when we conflicted
You think I'm a better person when I'm sober, but that's when our relationship started to go downhill
I was never sober around you, couldn't see the difference
I was always under the influence when I was with you, so I couldn't tell the difference
I told her maybe I'm just mad at myself
I confided in her that perhaps I'm upset with myself
I think thats why I love everything that's bad for my health
I believe that's the reason why I'm attracted to things that harm me
Why am I dying to see Heaven when I was happy with Hell
Why am I longing for a better place after I've already experienced the best in what I had before?
Somebody take this pack of shells and put em' back on the shelf (I mean)
I wish someone would take these bullets away from me
Insomnia turn me into a zombie
I'm so sleep-deprived that I feel like a zombie
I'm coming for all the moment they rob me of
I'm ready to take back all the opportunities that have been stolen from me
Now it's obvious, since you made it a hobby of watching us
It's clear that you've been obsessively watching us
I be popping up, and coping all my ops binoculars like its the opera ugh!
I'll be suddenly appearing and taking down my enemies like a spy with binoculars at an opera
