dying lately
Iamjakehill Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel the dread, no way around it, this has gone long enough
So bring me down again just like you do when things get shaky
I'm sorry for the mood, but I've been dying lately
Cold shoulders and a lack of closure
My patience turned to paper, it's been awfully thin
I hate the way your halo shines so softly
It's hard to see the way with all the fog we're in
So tell me how you really feel
Not what you think I wanna hear
I've done all I can do on my end
I'll pull you close and overdose
I'll love you 'til I'm comatose
Together we'll fade like the light that we once were
And darlin' you're the reason why I am who I am
This you and I was a surprise, it wasn't part of the plan
I'll bring you down again just like I do when things get shaky
I'm sorry for the mood, but I've been dying lately
You've probably never felt a heart so frozen
It never used to be this way 'til you came along
I like the way you hate the way you love me
It started off as friends and everything went wrong
Tell me how you really feel
Not what you think I wanna hear
I've done all I can do on my end
I'll pull you close and overdose
I'll love you 'til I'm comatose
Together we'll fade like the light that we once were
And tell me if you really care or if you're only standing there
''Cause half of you is too scared to leave (too scared to leave)
And maybe we could talk it out, but all you do is shut your mouth
When I need your voice in my ears, there's no love here (no love here)
(There's no love here)
Yeah, I think we crossed the line
Probably went overtime
I'll try to say it's fine
I do this every time
Now I can't hear myself
Think when we're in the hell
We put each other through
I can't get over you
Now what's the point of undressin'
If we lay awake stressin'
I can feel you inside my soul (my soul)
You lay your head on my chest
But you know we're such a wreck we're spinnin' out of control
Tell me how you really feel
Not what you think I wanna hear
I've done all I can do on my end
I'll pull you close and overdose
I'll love you 'til I'm comatose
Together we'll fade like the light that we once were
And tell me if you really care or if you're only standing there
'Cause half of you is too scared to leave (too scared to leave)
And maybe we could talk it out, but all you do is shut your mouth
When I need your voice in my ears, there's no love here (no love here)
No love, no love
No love, no love, no love
You're stuck on my head
You're my favorite shade of red
No love, no love
No love, no love, no love
You're stuck in my head
You're my favorite shade
Tell me how you really feel
Not what you think I wanna hear
I've done all I can do on my end
I'll pull you close and overdose
I'll love you 'til I'm comatose
Together we'll fade like the light that we once were
And tell me if you really care or if you're only standing there
'Cause half of you is too scared to leave
And maybe we could talk it out, but all you do is shut your mouth
When I need your voice in my ears, there's no love here
In "Dying Lately," Iamjakehill shares the story of a bittersweet relationship that has gone sour. The song opens with the singer admitting his attraction to his lover, describing her eyes as burning like the sun. However, the relationship has become toxic, and he expresses how difficult it is to be in it, feeling trapped. The chorus is a plea for honesty and communication, calling for his lover to speak openly and truthfully about how she feels, and not just say what he wants to hear. He acknowledges that the relationship has gone beyond his control, and that there's no love left between them.
In the second verse, the singer touches on the lack of closure and the frustrations of waiting in vain for something to change. He refuses to let his heart get involved any further since he cannot see the way out of their fog. He confesses to being in love with his partner, but their relationship is consistently shifting, and it is tough to keep up with the inconsistency. Once again, in the bridge, he tries to find a way out, but the relationship has become a cycle of spinning out of control with no escape.
Overall, "Dying Lately" describes the difficulties of a relationship that started well but has since turned sour: a relationship that cannot be fixed, despite all efforts.

[Intro]
You've got eyes like the sun
And they've been burnin' me up
I feel the dread, no way around it
This has gone long enough
So bring me down again just like you do when things get shaky

It's hard to see the way with all the fog we're in
[Chorus]
So tell me how you really feel
Not what you think I wanna hear
I've done all I can do on my end
