Willing To Die
Gin Wigmore Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I chewed my nail right down to the cuticle
And it's a pain so beautiful
I hurled my lunch right down in the cubicle
And how do I put this
We leave a trail of mistakes in the wake of life footprints
Good kids, mad world
But got a feelin' we're making it through, well then I'm waiting for you, girl
You can take my man, you can take my heart
I'll be ready and waiting for you here
In the streets I live, for the home I have
I am ready and willing to die
You can take my man, can take my heart
I'll be ready and waiting for you here
In the streets I live, in the home I have
I am ready and willing to die
Living In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida, the leader driven
By more than money and women, I'm giving what I wasn't
They love it, nothing above it, I'm ready to covet and rub it in
At the end of the world, looking for love again
Young visionary, the vision very on the contrary
I'm buried alive just trying to feel the vibe
While they're trying to fill the void, young up-and-comer that was unemployed
Now my name is something that they just cannot avoid
You can take my man, you can take my heart
I'll be ready and waiting for you here
In the streets I live, for the home I have
I am ready and willing to die
You can take my man, can take my heart
I'll be ready and waiting for you here
In the streets I live, in the home I have
I am ready and willing to die
You can take my man, you can take my heart
I'll be ready and waiting for you here
In the streets I live, for the home I have
I am ready and willing to die
You can take my man, can take my heart
I'll be ready and waiting for you here
In the streets I live, in the home I have
I am ready and willing to die
The lyrics of the song "Willing to Die" by Gin Wigmore reflects the determination and loyalty of the singer towards a loved one. The chorus particularly emphasizes this commitment, stating that the singer is willing to die for the person they love. The opening verse sets the tone of the song beautifully, as the singer describes their physical reaction to the mere thought of losing their significant other. The pain that they feel is "beautiful," which suggests that the intensity of their love is so great that they find it beautiful even when it causes them physical pain.
The second verse is a reflection of the singer's overall disposition towards life. They acknowledge that life is full of mistakes, but they also emphasize the fact that they are ready to face any obstacle as long as they can be with their loved one. The lines "At the end of the world, looking for love again/ Young visionary, the vision very on the contrary" show that the singer does not shy away from a challenge, and their determination to overcome any challenge is fueled by their love. The song thus portrays the singer’s willingness to go to any extent to protect their love, further amplified by the repeated lines “you can take my man, you can take my heart, I’ll be ready and waiting for you here, I am ready and willing to die”.
