Diamond's Aren't Forever
Bring Me the Horizon Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We will never sleep, 'cause sleep is for the weak
And we will never rest, 'til we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep, 'cause sleep is for the weak
And we will never rest, 'til we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep, 'cause sleep is for the weak
And we will never rest, 'til we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep, 'cause sleep is for the weak
And we will never rest, 'til we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep, 'cause sleep is for the weak
And we will never rest, 'til we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep, 'cause sleep is for the weak
And we will never rest, 'til we're all fucking dead

I refuse! I refuse!
I refuse to close my eyes

I have loved, and I have lost
I have turned, and I have tossed
I have listened, and I have watched
I've gave into this for long enough
I have lost, and I have loved
Sleep has stolen far too much
So don't close your eyes, not just yet
Sleep is just a cousin of death

I've said it before, and I'll say it again
If you think you're alive then you're better off dead
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
If you think you're alive then you're better off
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
If you think you're alive then you're better off dead
I've said it before, and I'll say it again
If you think you're alive then you're better off dead

I have loved, and I have lost
I have turned, and I have tossed
I have listened, and I have watched
I've gave into this for long enough
I have lost, and I have loved
Sleep has stolen far too much
So don't close your eyes, not just yet
Sleep is just a cousin of death

So throw your diamonds in the sky, we'll stay gold forever

I can promise you one thing, death will take us all
I can promise you one thing, you will die alone

We're all going to Hell, we may as well go out in style
Death is a promise, and your life is a fucking lie

We will never sleep, 'cause sleep is for the weak
And we will never rest, 'til we're all fucking dead
We will never sleep, 'cause sleep is for the weak
And we will never rest, 'til we're all fucking dead





I refuse! I refuse!
I refuse to close my eyes

Overall Meaning

The song "Diamonds Aren't Forever" by Bring Me the Horizon is a high-energy, intense anthem that encapsulates the band's distinct style of metalcore. The lyrics are a defiant statement against the idea of sleep and rest being necessary for survival. The repetition of "We will never sleep, 'cause sleep is for the weak, and we will never rest, 'til we're all fucking dead" emphasizes the band's commitment to live life to the fullest and never slow down. The lead singer's refusal to close his eyes in the face of sleep represents the band's determination to never stop living.


The middle section of the song takes a more reflective turn as the singer acknowledges the struggles he has faced in life. He has experienced both love and loss, and has been pulled in different directions, unable to find a sense of peace. The line "Sleep has stolen far too much" speaks to the idea that giving into the need for rest can mean sacrificing precious time and experiences. The mention of death in the lyrics adds a sense of urgency to the message of living life to the fullest.


The song's chorus, "So throw your diamonds in the sky, we'll stay gold forever," encourages the listener to let go of material possessions and embrace a life filled with meaningful experiences. It is a call to action, urging the listener to join the band in their rejection of societal norms and expectations. The final lines, "Death is a promise, and your life is a fucking lie," suggest that in the end, it is not material wealth or status that matters, but rather the moments of life that are truly lived.

I won't give in and let sleep steal my time anymore

Death will take us all
We will all die at some point


You will die alone
We all die alone, no matter how many people are around us


We're all going to Hell, we may as well go out in style
We're all destined for a bad end, so we might as well make the most of it


Death is a promise, and your life is a fucking lie
Death is inevitable, and everything we do in life is ultimately meaningless


So throw your diamonds in the sky, we'll stay gold forever
Let go of material possessions and enjoy life to the fullest, we'll always be golden in our memories
