Use Me
Grey
0
Use me before I die
You better confuse me
Before I realize
Fool me then blindfold my life
You better abuse me
I am your sacrifice
Why don't you kill my dreams
They are everything I have
Pull me down on my knees
Throw me back and make me beg
Cause you will never know how It feels to be forgotten
Till everything you have is broken
Use me before I try
You better defuse me,
Muse me, abuse me
Before I stand and fight
Control me and conquer my mind
You better confuse me
Before I question why
Why don't you kill my dreams
They are everything I have
Pull me down on my knees
Throw me back and make me beg
Cause you will never know how It feels to be forgotten
Till everything you have is broken
Life will fade away
All of your sins are here to stay
Why don't you kill my dreams
They are everything I have
Pull me down on my knees
Throw me back and make me beg
Cause I will fade away like the starts in the morning
And then I'll rise again...
The lyrics to Grey's song "We Have Crossed the Line" are powerful in their raw emotional vulnerability. In "Use Me," the singer is begging to be used and abused, seemingly as a way to escape the pain of their own existence. The lines "Why don't you kill my dreams / They are everything I have / Pull me down on my knees / Throw me back and make me beg" paint a picture of someone who feels completely lost and unable to see any way out. The repeated refrain "Cause you will never know how it feels to be forgotten / Till everything you have is broken" speaks to the sense of isolation and abandonment that the singer is experiencing.
As the song progresses, the singer becomes more assertive, demanding to be confused, abused, and conquered. The lines "Life will fade away / All of your sins are here to stay" suggest a sense of inevitability and hopelessness. But even in the face of this darkness, there is a glimmer of hope in the final lines: "Cause I will fade away like the stars in the morning / And then I'll rise again..." Here, the singer seems to be acknowledging that their pain is temporary, and that there is the possibility of renewal and rebirth.
Overall, "Use Me" is a haunting and gut-wrenching expression of despair, with an undercurrent of resilience and hope.
