Dead Trust
Hocico Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You don't trust a dead man you see
You don't dream a dead man's dream
You are the prey, you are the prey in this film
Come and play, come and play with fate

You're the source of this lunacy
You're the cross where I'm crucified everyday
Stealing life then you run away

Dress as if you want to sell your soul suicide
And then trust me
Dress as if you want to be my whore
Just smile and then trust me

Better fear the game
'Cause trust can get you dead

Give me some trust and save for me the last dance
You're so unreal
I've gotta let you die in my own bed
To set you free
Give me some trust and save for me the last dance
You're so unreal
I've gotta let you die in my own bed
To set, to set you free
To set you free

The trust dies one more time
The trust dies
The trust dies one more time
The trust dies

Give me some trust and save for me the last dance
You're so unreal
I've gotta let you die in my own bed
To set you free
Give me some trust and save for me the last dance
You're so unreal
I've gotta let you die in my own bed




To set, to set you free
To set you free

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Hocico's song "Dead Trust" explore the theme of trust, or the lack thereof, in relationships. The song begins by stating that there is no reason to trust a dead man because he can no longer fulfill promises or be relied upon. The lines "You don't trust a dead man you see / You don't dream a dead man's dream" signify that trust must be placed in the living and not in the dead, as the latter cannot provide anything worthwhile. The listener is then invited to participate in a dangerous game in which trust can get them killed, hence the lines "Better fear the game / 'Cause trust can get you dead."


The lyrics then shift to a specific individual whom the singer does not trust. The lines "You're the source of this lunacy / You're the cross where I'm crucified everyday" suggest that this person is causing the singer to be driven to madness and suffering. Additionally, the person is accused of "stealing life then [running] away." Later in the song, the singer makes a plea for trust, as evidenced by the lines "Give me some trust and save for me the last dance / You're so unreal / I've gotta let you die in my own bed / To set you free." Despite this request, the song closes on the disturbing note that "The trust dies one more time," signifying the futility of attempting to maintain faith in relationships that are fundamentally broken.
