I'll Die
Floetry Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We are who we choose to be
I'm responsible for me

If I stay right here I?ll die inside
Ran out of tears, I can barely get by
It?s fair to say that we tried
You know I wanna stay, if I do I?ll die
I?ll die, I?ll die, I?ll die, I?ll die

Coulda been another one of those
Coulda made it, coulda made it
Shoulda made it, had I gave it
Just a little bit more of my time

Just a little focus, coulda broke this
Woulda woke this, shoulda choked this
Had I chose bliss I?d have left this infatuation

Far behind, I?ll exchange my mind
No more wasting time, this process is mine
In your eyes, my reflection is blind
In your arms I decide, this is our last night

Goodbye
I have to leave you
So long for you and I

If I stay right here I?ll die inside
Ran out of tears, I can barely get by
It?s fair to say that we tried
You know I wanna stay, if I do I?ll die
I?ll die, I?ll die, I?ll die, I?ll die

Been addicted to the burden of the gifted
To the sermon of the shifted, always praying to be lifted
Always settling, never bettering
How am I gonna win, if I'm not listening

Always asking for never noticing
Every move I make, this game?s reacting in
Perfect symmetry, I'm my destiny, must invest in me
Or I'm just gonna be victim of circumstance

All is left to chance, how can I enhance?
I'm afraid to dance
I must break this trance, 'cause it?s deafening
So I'm breathing in, I'm breathing in, I'm breathing in

Breath to get control of me
I have to be

If I stay right here I?ll die inside
Ran out of tears, I can barely get by
It?s fair to say that we tried
You know I wanna stay, if I do I?ll die
I?ll die, I?ll die, I?ll die, I?ll die

what's the use in living here yeah
If I don't feel alive forenied mistakes
So much I've done, so much to cry
I cry, I got to

If I stay right here I?ll die inside
Ran out of tears, I can barely get by
It?s fair to say that we tried
You know I wanna stay, if I do I?ll die
I?ll die, I?ll die, I?ll die, I?ll die





I?ll die, I?ll die

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Floetry's 'I'll Die' tell a story of self-awareness and self-preservation. The opening lines "We are who we choose to be, I'm responsible for me" set the tone for the rest of the song, emphasizing the importance of personal accountability in one's life, and the power of individual choice.


The chorus draws attention to the fact that staying in a stagnant place is detrimental to one's well-being, in this case, leading to emotional death. The lines "If I stay right here I'll die inside, Ran out of tears, I can barely get by" paint a picture of utter hopelessness, suggesting that the singer has reached a point of emotional exhaustion and that continuing to stay where they are will lead to their downfall.


The verse "Been addicted to the burden of the gifted, To the sermon of the shifted, always praying to be lifted, Always settling, never bettering" highlights the internal struggle the singer has been going through. They recognize that they have become complacent, accepting less than they deserve, and allowing themselves to remain stagnant and unchanging.


The song ultimately speaks to the importance of self-awareness, self-improvement, and taking responsibility for one's own life. The singer recognizes that they have to leave something behind - perhaps a troubled relationship or situation - to find a better life for themselves.
