EKKSTACY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna scream, but I′m too quiet to shout
And I said, "It's all too much for me"
Sometimes I wish I was dead, wish I was dead
It's all in my head and I can′t get it out
I wanna scream, but I′m too quiet to shout
And I said, "It's all too much for me"
(I never thought I′d wish I was dead)
(I wish I was dead)
It's all in my head and I can′t get it out
I wanna scream, but I'm too quiet to shout
And I said, "It′s all too much for me"
Sometimes I wish I was dead (dead!)
In EKKSTACY's song "Wish I was dead," the lyrics express a feeling of overwhelming frustration and internal turmoil that the artist cannot seem to escape. The repetition of "It's all in my head and I can't get it out" highlights the fact that these emotions and thoughts are consuming them to the point of exhaustion. The desire to scream but being too quiet to shout represents a feeling of powerlessness and being unable to express these emotions outwardly.
The line "Sometimes I wish I was dead, wish I was dead" is a poignant one, as it reveals that the artist is so tired of dealing with these feelings that they long for a way out, even if it means death. This line is repeated throughout the song, emphasizing the weight of these thoughts on the artist's psyche. Despite this, the artist acknowledges that even this extreme wish is not a simple solution, as evidenced by the admission "I never thought I'd wish I was dead." This suggests that the artist has struggled with mental health issues for some time, and while they may wish for a way out, they understand that it's not an ideal resolution.
Overall, "Wish I was dead" is a powerful and emotionally intense song that delves into the complexities of mental health struggles. It highlights the impact that internal turmoil can have on an individual, and how easily it can escalate to a point where death seems like the only way out.
