I Want Myself and I Hate to Die
Kerbera Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're gonna see for the blind
We're gonna hear for the deaf
We're gonna scream for the mute
And we will

If love is the greatest
Why is it so hard to find?
So love makes us weightless, well
That's just another fucking lie!

And the greatest task of them all
Is to learn how to live with yourself (Feeling heavy)
So take that love somewhere else

We are the kids who grew old
With scars and stitches
All over our souls
We are the kids who are doing wrong
And we are right to do so
They won't reach us anymore

We bring our problems to bed
Gang raped right through the head
Wide awake through every second until dawn knocks the blinds

Eyes red thought they bled
But it was only tears
How many have I shed?
Drowned my pillow demons at least
Sadly I'm one of them

We are the kids who grew old
With scars and stitches
All over our souls
We are the kids who are doing wrong
And we are right to do so
They won't reach us anymore

Oh my god
The paint is black, you beat me red
Oh my god
The crowd is screaming, I am dead
Oh my god
Bring me back
They won't reach us anymore

We're gonna see for the blind
We're gonna hear for the deaf
We're gonna speak for the mute
And we will sing forever
We're gonna sing for the crowd
We're gonna sing it out loud
I will be silenced but at least I've tried

We are the kids who grew old
With scars and stitches
All over our souls
We are the kids who are doing wrong
And we are right to do so
They won't reach us anymore

Oh my god
The paint is black, you beat me red
Oh my god
The crowd is screaming, I am dead
Oh my god




Bring me back
They won't reach us anymore

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kerbera's song "I Want Myself and I Hate to Die" seem to reflect the struggles of a group of people who are trying to come to terms with their individuality and personal struggles. The band seems to be speaking to those who have experienced pain and suffering and are looking for ways to deal with it. The first verse talks about how they will become the voice for those who are unable to speak for themselves. They will see, hear, and scream for those who cannot do it themselves.


The second verse talks about how love is supposed to be the greatest thing in the world, but it seems to be elusive and hard to find. The band seems to question the idea of love making people weightless and argues that it is just another lie. The band then moves into what seems to be the central theme of the song, which is the need to learn how to live with oneself. The band argues that this is the greatest task of all and that people should take their love somewhere else because they need to learn how to love themselves first.


The rest of the song talks about the struggles and pain that these people have experienced. They describe themselves as kids who have grown old with scars and stitches all over their souls. They are doing wrong, but they feel like they are right to do so. They bring their problems to bed, and the band seems to be saying that they are haunted by their demons, but they are trying to cope with it. The chorus repeats the idea of the band being silenced, but they will keep singing for the crowd, speaking for the mute, and seeing for the blind.

KENIZU 24 Tack så mycket! Skrev den när min barndomskompis gick bort för ett par år sedan. Det känns så svårt att gå vidare från något sådant när jag vet allt som han borde ha fått men aldrig kommer få uppleva.... men jag försöker att vara stark för hobom.
