Elvis Depressedly Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like you had something to prove
How fucking stupid can you be
To think it wouldn't follow you?
That's the way it's always been
That's the way it's always been
Just crying like a child
All your lies are terrified
And your hunger's running wild
And this is what you deserve
This is what you deserve
You're pitiful and you're permanent
And you haunt my broken life
I'm so far from my home by now
There's no way I will survive
And I can't wait for you to die
I can't wait for you to die
Elvis Depressedly’s “I Can't Wait For You To Die” is a moody, slow-burning track that explores the bitterness and frustration that often accompany a relationship that has gone sour. The lyrics reflect the emotional struggle between two people who were once in a relationship but are now spiraling in opposite directions.
The opening lines, "You ran away from your uselessness/Like you had something to prove," suggest that the subject of the song is someone who has given up on themselves and their potential. However, the singer is quick to condemn them for thinking that leaving their problems behind would do any good. The lyrics "How fucking stupid can you be/To think it wouldn't follow you?" highlight the self-destructive nature of escaping one's problems.
The chorus of “I Can't Wait For You To Die” is the emotional center of the song, hitting hard with its blunt and unforgiving lyrics. The repetition of the phrase "This is what you deserve" emphasizes the unyielding resentment that the singer holds for the subject of the song, who is described as "pitiful and permanent" and haunting the singer's life. The final line of the chorus - "I can't wait for you to die" - is perhaps the most striking, revealing the full extent of the singer’s anger and desire for revenge.
Overall, Elvis Depressedly’s “I Can't Wait For You To Die” is a powerful exploration of the darker aspects of human relationships. The song invites the listener to reflect on the anger and resentment that can arise when a relationship breaks down, and the potential danger of holding onto those emotions for too long.
Line by Line Meaning
You ran away from your uselessness
You tried to escape your own feelings of worthlessness
Like you had something to prove
As if you needed to demonstrate your worth to someone else
How fucking stupid can you be
Your actions were unwise and not well thought out
To think it wouldn’t follow you?
Believing that your past would not catch up with you was foolish
That's the way it's always been
This pattern of behavior has been ongoing for some time
Every night you're a wreck
You struggle with emotional turmoil on a daily basis
Just crying like a child
Breaking down emotionally and unable to control your tears
All your lies are terrified
Your falsehoods have made you fearful and paranoid
And your hunger's running wild
Your desires and cravings have escalated beyond your control
And this is what you deserve
You have brought these consequences upon yourself
You're pitiful and you're permanent
Your situation is sad and unchanging
And you haunt my broken life
Your actions have negatively impacted my well-being
I'm so far from my home by now
Your actions have caused me to distance myself from what is familiar
There's no way I will survive
I am unable to continue in this current state of struggle
And I can't wait for you to die
I am eagerly anticipating the end of your negative impact on my life
I can't wait for you to die
My desire for your demise is strong and unyielding
