Death
E.S.S. Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm ready to go
I am ready to forget you
I'm ready to disappear
I am ready to die
Let go of my hand
Let my soul go
Maybe it's time to go
To be reborn from the ashes
Take care of my love
Take care of her soul
I may never touch her again
Promise me that she will survive my nightmare
Promise me that she will never know
That I am responsible for this
Because I am the devil
I need to die to get my wings back
I need to die to be able to live with you
Let me die
Let me go
Let me die one more time
Let me go baby
Just let me go
I need to die
I need to die for you
I need to die for me
I need to die for everyone
I need to sacrifice myself




I need to sacrifice myself
To be born again in the ashes

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of E.S.S.'s "Death" are emotionally raw and explore the desire for release from pain and suffering. The opening lines express a willingness to move on from a difficult situation, even if it means leaving this world. The repetition of "I'm ready" underlines the sense of resignation and acceptance. The sentiment is intensified by the singer's declaration that they are ready to forget, disappear, and die.


The verse takes on a different tone as the singer pleads for the welfare of a loved one, whose survival seems to hinge on their own death. The image of being "reborn from the ashes" suggests a mythical or spiritual understanding of the afterlife, where death is seen as a necessary step towards a new existence. The refrain, "Let me die, let me go" is heart-wrenching in its simplicity, expressing a yearning for release and peace that know no bounds.


The final lines of the song bring the lyrics full circle, with the repeated phrase "I need to sacrifice myself" echoing the idea of rebirth through death. The singer seems to have come to terms with their own mortality and embraces it as a way to save those they love. In this way, the song speaks to the complex web of emotions that arise in the face of death and the lengths we will go to protect those we care about.
