Deadman
Glasslands Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna go back, don't wanna feel the light.
I've had enough, this isn't love,
My mind is haunted by this frozen wasteland.
I won't be strong, least not for long,
What's acryptic, tell me what's your secret.
Come get your fix, just whisper it,
Set my world on fire,
Cause I wanna watch it burn, burn.
Hold me as you wanna,
Cause I'm already a deadman,
I'm dead without you.
I'll pick a sin cause I wanna feel you,
What's the difference if I'm never gonna …
And I'm going at this all alone,
Cause I can't ever come back home.
Set my world on fire,
Cause I wanna watch it burn, burn,
Hold me as you wanna,
Cause I'm already a deadman,
I'm dead without you,
Without you.
I am Pariah and I can't come back home.
You are the fear, love,
You're the weight of my sins.
I am Pariah, am I too far gone?
You are the fear, love,
Waiting for the day that I come home.
Set my world on fire,
Cause I wanna watch it burn,
Hold me as you wanna,
Cause I'm already a deadman,
I'm a deadman.
The lyrics to Glasslands' song Deadman seem to describe a sense of despair and hopelessness. The singer seems to be in a state of emotional and physical paralysis, as if trapped by their own thoughts and emotions. They express a desire to go back to a time before they experienced the pain and isolation they now feel. The line "I've had enough, this isn't love," suggests that they may have been hurt by someone they thought loved them. The image of a frozen wasteland reinforces this feeling of isolation and despair.
The chorus of the song reveals a desire for destruction, a wish to see everything burn. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's desire to escape their own pain, or as a literal wish for everything to be destroyed. The line "Hold me as you wanna, cause I'm already a deadman" suggests that the singer has given up on themselves, and is resigned to being held by whoever wants to hold them, as they no longer have any agency or control. The final lines of the song, "You are the fear, love, waiting for the day that I come home," suggest that the singer is still holding out hope for someone to accept and understand them.

So help me up, my body's stuck
I need help getting up, my body feels immobile and stuck
I wanna go back, don't wanna feel the light.
I want to go back to a time when I didn't feel the harshness of reality
I've had enough, this isn't love,
I've reached my limit, this isn't what love should feel like
My mind is haunted by this frozen wasteland.
My thoughts are consumed by this desolate and cold place
I won't be strong, least not for long,
I can't handle this for much longer, I won't be able to hold on
What's acryptic, tell me what's your secret.
What is hidden, tell me your hidden knowledge or agenda
Come get your fix, just whisper it,
Satisfy your craving, share it only in a hushed tone
We'll all keep living in this secret sin.
We'll all continue to live with this immoral behavior kept hidden
Set my world on fire,
Burn everything I know and have, I want to see it destroyed
Cause I wanna watch it burn, burn.
I want to experience the destruction, it thrills me
Hold me as you wanna,
Touch me how you want, I don't care anymore
Cause I'm already a deadman,
I am already dead inside or a lost cause
I'm dead without you.
I have no value or purpose without you in my life
I'll pick a sin cause I wanna feel you,
I'll do something immoral to feel close to you
What's the difference if I'm never gonna …
Why does it matter if it won't last forever
And I'm going at this all alone,
I'm dealing with this by myself
Cause I can't ever come back home.
I can't go back to where I used to be, it's no longer an option
I am Pariah and I can't come back home.
I am an outcast and I'm not welcome or accepted
You are the fear, love,
You are both what I fear and love
You're the weight of my sins.
You're the burden that I carry because of my actions
I am Pariah, am I too far gone?
I am an outcast, am I too damaged to be saved
Waiting for the day that I come home.
Hoping for the day when I can be accepted and welcomed back
I'm a deadman.
I have nothing to live for or look forward to

There is something so oddly addictive about this song. The beat is unique, and your singers voice is so powerful, and amazing. I can't stop listening.
