In Love With the Dead Man
Bokka Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
What's the worst that could happen?
I'm in love with the dead man
They say that you're in heaven
Will I turn into stone if I sit on your grave long enough?
Will I drown from the tears if I cry over you long enough?
Will I see you above if I look at the stars long enough?
I'm in love with the dead man
What's the worst that could happen?
I'm in love with the dead man
They say that you're in heaven
I'm in love with the dead man
How come that I'm still breathing?
I'm in love with the dead man
Can it still be called "a feeling"?
Will it turn into dream if I sleep for a dozen nights?
It is so unreal that I won't ever feel your touch again
Are you with me right now? Can you give me a sign?
I just need to make sure that wherever you went you are all right
I'm in love with the dead man
What's the worst that could happen?
I'm in love with the dead man
They say that you're in heaven
I'm in love with the dead man
How come that I'm still breathing?
I'm in love, in love with the dead man
The lyrics to BOKKA's "In Love With the Dead Man" describe a person's obsession with a deceased lover. The first verse questions the consequences of their love for a dead person, asking "What's the worst that could happen?" and acknowledging that the person is in heaven. The following lines describe the singer's intense longing for the dead lover and their inability to come to terms with their loss. The second verse illustrates the singer's desperation to connect with the deceased lover, with lines such as "Will it turn into dream if I sleep for a dozen nights?", and "Can you give me a sign?". The chorus repeats the title of the song and asserts the singer's love for the dead man despite the fact that their love exists purely in memory.
Through the lyrics, BOKKA seems to convey the message that love is a powerful force that transcends death. The singer's love for the dead man demonstrates that even in death, love persists and can be just as strong as it was in life. Although the reality is that the lover cannot be physically present with the singer, their love for him continues to make them feel alive. The song explores themes of grief, loss, and the power of love, showcasing the emotions and thoughts that come with losing someone you love.
