Dragon
Elroy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Who cares? I can't say you love
What you pray enough
That helps me lust
So, I, wanted to let you know, will you go away, go away

Upset, Way over my head I, slow down when I die young
Frown side is the better
I'm upset, way over my head I slow down when I die young

Frown side is the better
I saw my hand (inaudible)
Too fast and I might go

Banshee on my left side
Why do you keep her?
Hello to my brothers
We gotta make it out

Inside a lot
Outside enough
Chase me when I'm done

5 days to be sober
And race me if you want to
2 face I need something
Wanted a lot

Talked like I'm on one
Ask you for so much, So much
I can't say a lot
What you pray enough
Then helps me lust
So, I, wanted to let you know, will you go away, go away
Upset, Way over my head I, slow down when I die young
Frown side is the better
I'm upset, way over my head I slow down when I die young
Frown side is the better
Upset, way over my head I slow down when I die young
Frown side is the better




I'm upset, way over my head I slow down when I die young
Frown side is the better

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Elroy's song "Dragon" are enigmatic and difficult to decipher. The opening lines suggest a sense of detachment and confusion: "Who cares? I can't say you love / What you pray enough / That helps me lust / So, I, wanted to let you know, will you go away, go away." The singer seems to be questioning the sincerity of a loved one's feelings and wondering if they are only praying for love to help themselves feel desired. The repeated refrain "go away" adds a note of finality and resignation to the relationship.


The second verse introduces the image of a "banshee on my left side" and suggests a feeling of being haunted or pursued by something ominous. The line "Frown side is the better" could be interpreted as a reference to the darker aspects of the singer's personality that they prefer to keep hidden. The bridge section adds another layer of uncertainty and desperation, with lines like "5 days to be sober / And race me if you want to / 2 face I need something / Wanted a lot" suggesting a struggle with addiction or a feeling of being trapped in a destructive cycle.


Overall, the lyrics to "Dragon" suggest a sense of existential uncertainty and a search for meaning and connection in a chaotic world. The repeated refrain of "Frown side is the better / I'm upset, way over my head / I slow down when I die young" hints at a fear of mortality and a desire to find some kind of inner peace before it's too late.
