DeathDealer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanted to change things
I wanted to be alright
But my hopeless obsession was endlessly growing
I'm sorry I lost my mind
Notice me
But after all, I know it's not your fault
What's it mean to want what you can't have?
It's much more than just a waste of time
I just thought that you should know
You are always on my mind
I'm not sure if i can make you happy
But I promise if you let me try
I can mend all your broken bone
and be the ghost that keeps you up at night
"Don't be afraid." That's all she said to me
I know we're all alone, but you shouldn't be afraid to die
I wasn't getting better, so I'm sorry that I lost my drive
But if you give me just one chance maybe I can keep my heart alive
This world of spirits is more than I can take
My former self lies dead rotting at the bottom of the lake
I'm starting to realize I'm stuck in a cycle, condemned to the other side
Can't make a connection with you now that I'm dead so I'm fucking terrified
I understand it's more than confusing
I've moved on but I still love you so
All I can say is that I hope you remember
What you told me all those years ago
You've got one foot in the grave
So why not just go all the way?
Kick out the chair
Don't forget what you promised me
A broken neck or drowning lungs can't hold us back from our eternal love.
The lyrics to Deathdealer.'s song "The Promise" explore themes of longing, obsession, and despair. The singer expresses a desire to be there for someone and to change things, but their hopeless obsession with this person grows endlessly. They apologize for losing their mind and make attempts to gain attention and affection, even knowing it's not the other person's fault. The lyrics touch on the frustration of wanting something or someone that seems unattainable, describing it as more than just a waste of time. The singer admits uncertainty about their ability to make the person happy, but promises to try and mend their brokenness and be a presence that haunts their thoughts.
The song also delves into darker themes, with the singer recounting a conversation with someone who tells them not to be afraid, even in the face of death. The singer admits to losing their motivation and feeling trapped in a cycle, unable to connect with the person they love. They acknowledge their understanding of the confusion surrounding their situation and express that despite moving on, they still love the person deeply.
Ultimately, the lyrics suggest a willingness to embrace the thought of death and bypass the suffering of a long life, expressing a desire for the other person to "go all the way" and fulfill the promise they made. The idea of a broken neck or drowning lungs not being able to hold back their eternal love adds a haunting and sinister undertone, suggesting a twisted perception of love and commitment.

I wanted to be there
I desired to be present
I wanted to change things
I yearned for transformation
I wanted to be alright
I longed for inner peace
But my hopeless obsession was endlessly growing
However, my desperate fixation continued to intensify
I'm sorry I lost my mind
I apologize for losing my sanity
Notice me
Give me attention
I'll ring your phone and scream your name to try to pacify my inner flame
I will call you and shout your name to soothe the burning inside me
But after all, I know it's not your fault
However, I am aware that it's not your blame
What's it mean to want what you can't have?
What is the significance of desiring the unattainable?
It's much more than just a waste of time
It goes beyond being a mere time-waster
I just thought that you should know
I simply believed that you should be aware
You are always on my mind
You frequently occupy my thoughts
I'm not sure if i can make you happy
I'm uncertain if I can bring you joy
But I promise if you let me try
However, I assure you that if you give me the opportunity
I can mend all your broken bone
I can repair all your shattered fragments
and be the ghost that keeps you up at night
and be the haunting presence that disturbs your sleep
"Don't be afraid." That's all she said to me
"Do not feel fear." That's the only thing she uttered to me
I know we're all alone, but you shouldn't be afraid to die
I am aware that we are isolated, but you should not fear death
I wasn't getting better, so I'm sorry that I lost my drive
I was not improving, hence I apologize for losing my motivation
But if you give me just one chance maybe I can keep my heart alive
However, if you grant me a single opportunity, perhaps I can sustain my passion
This world of spirits is more than I can take
This realm of souls exceeds my capacity to endure
My former self lies dead rotting at the bottom of the lake
My previous identity rests lifeless, decaying at the lake's depths
I'm starting to realize I'm stuck in a cycle, condemned to the other side
I am beginning to recognize that I am trapped in a recurring pattern, condemned to the afterlife
Can't make a connection with you now that I'm dead so I'm fucking terrified
I cannot establish a bond with you now that I am deceased, causing immense fear
I understand it's more than confusing
I comprehend that it is highly perplexing
I've moved on but I still love you so
I have progressed, yet my affection for you remains
All I can say is that I hope you remember
My only wish is for you to recall
What you told me all those years ago
The words you spoke to me long ago
You've got one foot in the grave
You are on the verge of death
So why not just go all the way?
So, why not embrace death entirely?
Kick out the chair
Remove the support beneath you
Don't forget what you promised me
Do not disregard the vow you made to me
A broken neck or drowning lungs can't hold us back from our eternal love.
Neither a fractured neck nor suffocated lungs can hinder our everlasting love.
