Dark Side
Dr. Death Lyrics

True story
The following lyrics narrate a true story

Breathe in
Take a breath to prepare for what's about to be told

As we begin
The story begins with the next line

I took frequent trips
The singer went on trips to escape from his failing romantic relationship

To escape the relation
The trips were taken to avoid dealing with the issues in the relationship

Ship sinking quick
The relationship was deteriorating fast

My commitment was amazing
The singer was fully committed to the relationship despite its problems

A disappearing act
The singer felt like he was disappearing or losing himself within the relationship

Felt like a missing person
The singer experienced a sense of loss and confusion in the relationship

Feelings start to vanish
The singer's feelings for his partner begin to disappear

Now feel the closed curtain
The relationship has come to a close and is over

Doesn't make a difference
The end of the relationship doesn't matter or make a difference to the singer

Don't pretend it was perfect
The singer acknowledges that the relationship was not perfect

Fuck I'm killing myself
The singer is self-destructive and hurting himself emotionally

Overdosing on purpose
The singer is intentionally overdosing on something, likely drugs

My name is addict am I supposed to
The singer is admitting that he is addicted and asking a rhetorical question about what he should do

Let passion turn to hatred
The strong emotions the singer had towards his partner have turned into hate

Spontaneous explosive?
The singer has become volatile and unpredictable in behavior

Too late, even therapy is hopeless
The singer's problems are too severe, even therapy cannot help him at this point

The strangle in my throat
The singer feels constricted and oppressed, he cannot express his feelings

My constraint is choking
The singer feels suffocated and overwhelmed by his situation

Keep pushing you away
The singer is pushing his partner away

Keep calling me closer
Despite the singer's actions, his partner still wants him close

Let the shaking stop
The singer is experiencing physical and emotional tremors, and he wants them to stop

Let me go, get it over
The singer wants the relationship to end and wants closure

Please don't be dead
The singer is worried that his partner may have killed themselves

My body's getting colder
The singer feels a sense of emptiness and sudden change

Swinging from a rope
The singer is picturing his partner hanging themselves

Could be the last time I woke up
The singer is fearful that he will lose his partner forever

Time to live sober
The singer wants to stop using drugs and live a clean life

Eerie voice over my shoulder
The singer is hearing an unsettling and mysterious voice

Saying time is just a turntable
The voice is speaking about time and how it moves in circles

Moving slower
The voice suggests that time is moving slower than it should

Can't walk these streets at night
The singer doesn't feel safe walking alone at night

Keep wildin' streets at night
Despite the danger, the singer continues to be reckless

You want me to feel something
The singer's partner wants him to have emotions and to care about the relationship

All I feel is contempt for you
The singer only feels anger and hate towards his partner

And the feelings gon' (Keep on) so strong
Despite the singer's efforts, his negative feelings continue

If you love me then I don't know
The singer is unsure if his partner truly loves him

Try to drown me in your sorrow
The singer's partner is using their sadness to manipulate and control the singer

Wait a day, day for you
The singer has waited for his partner in the past, but they didn't come home

But you never came home (Never came home)
The singer's partner didn't come home, leaving the singer alone and waiting

You break my call
The singer's partner doesn't answer the phone when the singer calls

You say time is everything
The singer's partner believes that time is important

Keep it moving my friend
The singer's partner is encouraging him to keep moving forward

We stumble through the dark to keep it moving again
The singer and his partner are trying to navigate through their problems and move on

Beginnings of the end
The relationship is nearing its end

Breathe in begin again
The singer is taking a breath and preparing to start again

You better, (yeah, uh) try
The singer is urging his partner to make an effort to save the relationship

And you want me to forgive you
The singer's partner wants forgiveness, but the singer is still angry and hurt

No, no, no, no
The singer cannot forgive his partner
