GoodDeath
Gazelle Twin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I can't watch you suffer slowly
The mind plays cold tricks when you're lowly

Surrender is nothing bad
But you will be found out
Sleeping while people run up the stairs
You will be found out
This time it's all I can do
You say that you can't live that life again...
...for you

Surrender is nothing bad
But you will be found out




Sleeping while people run up the stairs
You will be found out

Overall Meaning

In Gazelle Twin's "GoodDeath," the lyrics express the artist's unwillingness to witness someone's slow suffering. The first line "I can’t watch you suffer slowly" indicates the singer's empathy and compassion for someone they care about. The second line "The mind plays cold tricks when you're lowly" suggests that the person may be in a mental or emotional turmoil, making it difficult for them to cope with their suffering.


The third line "Surrender is nothing bad" is a reminder that asking for help or admitting defeat is not considered a weakness. However, the following line "But you will be found out" indicates that there could be consequences for not seeking help. The last two lines of this stanza "Sleeping while people run up the stairs, You will be found out" could potentially refer to certain actions someone may take to cope with their suffering, but ultimately, they won't be able to hide their pain forever.


The last stanza repeats the same two lines, "Surrender is nothing bad, but you will be found out," emphasizing the importance of seeking help and not trying to hide from the pain. The final line "This time it's all I can do, you say that you can't live that life again...for you" hints that the singer has done all they can to help someone they care about but the person may be unwilling or unable to change their situation.
