Died in your Arms
Hidden Citizens Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oh I
I just died in your arms tonight
It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me, and I
Don't see an easy way to get out of this

I've lost and found
It's my final mistake
Loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled
To fantasy one too many times

I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I
I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away
I should've walked away
I should've walked away

I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said




I just died in your arms tonight
Tonight

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Hidden Citizens's song Died in Your Arms describe the feeling of being so in love with someone that when the relationship ends, it feels as though a part of you has died. The opening lines "Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight" depict the overwhelming pain and heartbreak the singer feels after the ending of the relationship. The following line, "It must have been something you said," insinuates that the reason for their deathly heartbreak is due to something hurtful that the person they loved said to them. However, there is an ambiguity in this line, leaving the reason for their pain open to interpretation.


The next verse, "I keep looking for something I can't get. Broken hearts lie all around me, and I don't see an easy way to get out of this," shows that the singer has been looking for love but hasn't found it. Their heartbreak is further emphasized by the line "Broken hearts lie all around me," symbolizing that their struggle is not only personal but also relatable to others in similar situations. The lyrics also touch on the singer's mistakes in the relationship, specifically their tendency to love without receiving love in return. As the song concludes, the singer wishes they had walked away from the relationship before their heart was broken, and they just died in their lover's arms with the lyrics "I should've walked away."

It must have been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight

Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this

She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cos I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

Oh I, I just died in your arms tonight
