Dearly Beloved
Kiesza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To you, being someone since you tempted me
So shock, the way that I feel
Oh, it's got to be for real
Suffocated love, I need to escape
I can barely breathe, understand these days
I need you to take me, before I fade away
For you I will fall, for you I will lose it all
For you great or small, dearly beloved
Anything that you want, anything that you want
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
... what you want
With me, been so tough every day that you′re gone
While I bite, the way that I feel
Oh, it's gotta be for real
Suffocated love, I need to escape
I can barely breathe, standing in the space
I need you to take me, before I fade away
For you I will fall, for you I will lose it all
For you great or small, dearly beloved
Anything that you want, anything that you want
I will make it through
Because I would rather drown in a sea of you
Than to drift away in the empty truth
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
Dearly beloved, dearly beloved
For you I will fall
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
For you I would lose it all
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
For you, way too small
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
Didn't even love me, anything that you want
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
For you
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
(For you) Anything that you want
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
(Dearly beloved, dearly beloved)
Anything that you want, anything that you want

Hello
Katie S.
Breathtakingly beautiful song with a powerful message! This song never fails to bring tears to my eyes. Kieza wrote this song for a friend who passed away. So much emotion is captured in this song which you can tell is deeply personal to kieza. I know this may sound strange but this song captures how I feel about my dog, Leia, who tragically passed away a few years ago. Leia had a wonderful spirit and was my rock, pulling me through some difficult times. She was so intelligent and strong and unwaveringly loyal. I always admired her fearlessness and strength. She suffered from many ailments throughout her life but never let that get in her way. She had arthritis and urinary incontinence resulting from a birth defect but you would never know that from looking at her. She once wrestled a four foot snake she encountered in my backyard, much to my horror. Leia walked away unscathed. She loved other dogs and people, especially children. She greeted me every day after work with a huge smile on her face, wagging her tail so vigorously that her body would shake back and forth. Shortly after my divorce leia wad diagnosed with hip dysplasia. I was optimistic when the vets said she was healthy and a perfect candidate for a surgery that would greatly improve her condition. I scheduled an appointment with specialists in preparation for the surgery. In the meantime she was prescribed pain medication to keep her comfortable. Very sadly, she developed an ulcer while taking this medication which ruptured, causing her death. I blame myself for not being more attentive while she was on this medication and doing more research. She was 11 years old but as a lab/Pitt bull mix, even with her health problems, should've lived at least a few more years. The vet had said she was healthy enough for surgery just a few weeks before she died. When she suddenly started acting very lethargic one morning, I took her to the emergency vet. They said her prognosis was grave and suggested euthanasia. Nor wanting to let her go, I instead opted for a risky surgery to repair a perforation in her duodenum that had resulted in sepsis. I knew her chance of survival was very slim but wanted the team to do whatever it took to save her. I knew she was a fighter and she wanted to live. She was my everything and never once gave up on me so i could not give up on her. Looking back I don't know if I made the right decision and part of me feels guilty for putting her through thr experience and prolonging her pain. I just felt like i had to give her a chance. In the end, she survived the surgery against all odds but very tragically died from complications several hours later. It was the worst day of my life. Part of me died that day and i dont feel i ever fully recovered. Leia was so much more than just a pet to me. She was my world and i have never loved anyone as much as i loved her. I remember thinking that id literally give my right arm to just have a few more years with Leia. "For you I would fall, for you I would lose it all". What I wouldn't give to just hold her and see that sweet smiling face just one more time.

Hellooo

7 months later and I'm sitting here balling my eyes out listening to this. My other dog, Emilie passed away last month and I can't even bring myself to talk about it. So much pain but this song really brings healing.
