Don't Kill Me Again
Highlord Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

(Music:Highlord - Words:Stefano Droetto)

Back from my last War
I head to the rest of my life
No one could tell me
If they wait for me to appear

I've lost my time trying to understand

If their truth is the right one for me
Tell me now......Show me the way!

I'm waiting for what I don't know
No one cares if I'm insecure
A dark hand...on their blind eyes
Show them things they take for real

And I'm sharing my words with you and you don't hear
Revealing the truth to who lives in fear
Tell me now......Show me the way!

From time to time I realize
What I see for good they just can't see
If there's a light for me to see
Maybe I'm just too blind...please don't kill me again!

This time is my last day
I hope I won't be alone
My heart starts to rumble
Maybe the time for me has come

And I'm sharing my words with you and you don't hear
Revealing the truth to who lives in fear
Tell me now......Show me the way!

From time to time I realize
What I see for good they just can't see

If there's a light for me to see
Maybe I'm just too blind...please don't kill me again!

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Highlord's song Don't Kill Me Again present a sense of longing from someone who has returned from a war and is trying to reintegrate into society. The singer is seeking guidance and clarity from others and perhaps from a higher power, as they struggle to navigate their new reality. The opening stanza sets the tone for this search as the singer hints at feeling lost and unsure about what their future holds. They are also aware that others might have expectations of them, but they fear that they might not measure up.

As the song progresses, the singer becomes increasingly frustrated at the lack of understanding they are receiving from those around them. Their inner conflict and lack of clarity are evident from lines such as "I've lost my time trying to understand, if their truth is the right one for me". There is a sense of urgency in the repetition of the line "Tell me now...Show me the way!" which seems to encapsulate the singer's impatience with the situation.

The middle part of the song has a tone of sadness as the singer reveals that they feel misunderstood and as if their perspective is not being heard. The lyrics "From time to time I realize, what I see for good, they just can't see" are a poignant reminder that sometimes our individual experiences can cloud our view of reality. The final lines of the song maintain this sense of uncertainty as the singer acknowledges that they might not be able to see the light that is available to them, but they are pleading to not be killed or dismissed again.
