Miss You to Death
Cauldron Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I couldn't stay away so long
It took me by surprise
I couldn't stay away no longer
Looking in your eyes

You've taken me in
It's time to begin
Sedation is not far away
You have a game
And it's not the same
I'm dying to know when you're coming home

Miss you to death
Longing for a long time
And dying for a lifeline
No longer will you be mine
Miss you to death

I always paint a perfect picture
Of your thin disguise
Trust was taken in your hand
But never realised

I followed you back and fell in your trap
I got nothing left in return
It's always too much whenn you're out of touch
You know I can never be left alone

Miss you to death
Longing for a long time
And dying for a lifeline
No longer will you be mine
Miss you to death

Striding through all the notions
Reeling in all the pain
Feeling of lost emotion
Nothing without you
Grieving with every moment
Riding through all the waves
We are no longer potent
Nothing without you

I knew you so long
Whatever went wrong
How did it turn out this way
I know you're not far
Wherever you are
It kills me to think you're not coming home

Miss you to death
Longing for a long time
And dying for a lifetime
No longer will you be mine
No longer see the sun shine
Stop longing for a long time
Start dying for a lifeline




Forever we will be fine
Missed you to death

Overall Meaning

In "Miss You to Death" by Cauldron, the singer expresses their intense longing for someone they miss. The song opens with a confession that the singer couldn't stay away from this person for so long, and that looking into their eyes made them realize that even if they wanted to stay away, they couldn't. The person being addressed seems to have a power over the singer - they have "taken them in" and sedation is not far away, suggesting that they offer some sort of escape for the singer.


However, they've also played a game that isn't the same anymore, and the singer is desperate to know when this person will come home. This desperation is evident in the chorus, where the singer declares that they miss this person "to death." The second verse continues with the theme of deception and betrayal, as the singer speaks of a "thin disguise" and trust being given but not realized. Ultimately, they've been left with nothing in return and can't bear to be left alone.


The bridge of the song sees the singer struggling with their emotions, describing how they're "reeling in all the pain" and "grieving with every moment." They acknowledge that they're "nothing without" this person and can't seem to move past their absence. The song ends with a repeated chorus, driving home the singer's intense longing and despair.


Overall, "Miss You to Death" is a powerful song about the feeling of missing someone so much that it's become debilitating. It's clear that this person holds a lot of power over the singer, and that their absence has left a deep and painful void.
