Died in your Arms
Komodo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I keep looking for something I can't get
Broken hearts lie all around me
And I don't see an easy way to get out of this
Her diary it sits on the bedside table
The curtains are closed, the cat's in the cradle
Who would've thought that a boy like me could come to this

Oh I, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away

Oh, oh

Is there any just 'cause for feeling like this?
On the surface I'm a name on a list
I try to be discreet, but then blow it again
I've lost and found, it's my final mistake
She's loving by proxy, no give and all take
'Cause I've been thrilled to fantasy one too many times

Oh I, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh I, I, I just died in your arms tonight
It must been some kind of kiss
I should've walked away, I should've walked away

It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over the moment has gone
I followed my hands not my head

I knew I was wrong
I knew I was wrong
I knew I was wrong, wrong
Oh I, I

I knew I was wrong

Oh I, I, I just died in your arms tonight




It must've been something you said
I should've walked away, I should've walked away

Overall Meaning

The song "Died In Your Arms" is a melancholic rock ballad that explores the painful aftermath of a one-night stand that ended in heartbreak. The singer is haunted by the memories of his lover as he struggles to come to terms with the reality of the situation. He feels trapped and unable to escape the emotional turmoil that surrounds him. The opening lines suggest that he is searching for something that he cannot find, and he is surrounded by broken hearts. The chorus repeats the lines "I just died in your arms tonight, it must've been something you said," emphasizing how the power dynamics in the relationship were unbalanced and led to the singer's ultimate demise. He should have walked away from the situation, but he was blinded by his desire for love.


The second verse deepens the sense of regret and desperation as the singer delves into his thought process. He is on the surface an anonymous name on a list, but internally, he is plagued by guilt over his actions. He cannot resist the temptation of his lover, even though he is aware it is a mistake. He has been living in a fantasy world too long and is now paying the price for his delusions. The bridge of the song is reflective, as the singer realizes that the moment was fleeting, and he followed his impulses instead of his head. He knew he was wrong, but he couldn't help himself. The chorus repeats one last time, emphasizing the futility and hopelessness of the situation.
