Crucify
Deadsun Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
It's starting to wear thin.
These ties that bind can break, and drop us down to the floor.
And then I, I realized that I was wrong.
But that was so long ago.
I thought that I would die.
Are you sorry that I was wrong?
Tell me, what can I do to end this Hell?
Can we put it all away?
Put me on those dark and stormy days.
And your eyes, the same eyes that warmed my soul.
Are bitter and so cold.
I watched the fire die, there was nothing to fill the whole.
Do you want me to crucify myself?
Tell me, what can I do to end this Hell?
Can we put it all away?
Put me on those dark and stormy days.
Tell me, what can I do to make you understand?
Was it me? No I'm not that kind of man.
Can we put it all away?
Can we put it all away?
Put it away....Put it away!!
And yeah I, I realized that I was wrong.
But that was so long ago.
I thought that I would die.
Are you sorry that I was wrong?
Do you want me to crucify myself?
Tell me, what can I do to end this Hell?
Can we put it all away?
Put me on those dark and stormy days.
Tell me, what can I do to make you understand?
Was it me? No I'm not that kind of man.
Can we put it all away?
Can we put it all away?
I wanna' put it away....Oh no, I wanna' put it away!!!
....Stop!
The lyrics of Deadsun's song "Crucify" delve into the theme of a relationship that has gone sour, and one person looking to make amends. It begins by acknowledging a past mistake, with the line "So it seems, we've been through this all before." Despite wanting to make it right, the singer realizes that the trust and love they shared has been weakened, and the ties that bound them have worn thin. There is an acknowledgement that this mistake has caused immense pain, with the line "I thought that I would die. Are you sorry that I was wrong?"
The chorus of the song begs for forgiveness and a way to end the ongoing pain. The singer is willing to do whatever it takes to make things right and is asking for guidance on how to do so. The line "Do you want me to crucify myself?" highlights the level of guilt and willingness to take on punishment for the mistake that was made.
The second verse talks about the changes that have come over the relationship since the mistake was made. The warmth and love that was once there have turned into bitterness and coldness. The pain of the mistake has caused a "fire" to die out that could not be reignited.
In the final chorus, the singer continues to plead for forgiveness and a chance to put things right. The line "Tell me, what can I do to make you understand?" emphasizes the importance of communication and understanding in the relationship. The song ends with the desire to move forward and leave the pain of the past behind.
