Died in your Arms
Lakyn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
Whoa, whoa
It must've been something you said
I just died in your arms tonight
Whoa, whoa
Oh, 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, I should′ve walked away
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 I screwed up 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 just died in your arms tonight
It must′ve been something you said,
Whoa, whoa
I just died in your arms tonight
Oh, 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
It was a long hot night
She made it easy, she made it feel right
But now it's over, the moment is gone
I followed my hands, not my head,
I know I was wrong
Oh, I just died in your arms tonight
It must′ve been something you said,
I just died tonight
Whoa, whoa
Oh, 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
I should've walked away, I should′ve walked away
I should should should′ve walked I should've walked away
"Lakyn" is a singer, songwriter, and guitarist hailing from Australia. His song, "Died In Your Arms," is an ode to a broken heart. It speaks of a man who has loved and lost, and now finds himself struggling to move forward. As the song opens, the singer is looking for something he cannot have. His heart has been shattered, and he is surrounded by the broken hearts of others.
The next lines of the song describe a typical scene from a grieving person's life. There is a diary, a table, curtains, and a closed room. All of these details suggest that the singer is hiding from something, trying to process his overwhelming emotions. He then admits that he should have walked away but did not.
The chorus of the song is the most poignant part. The singer says that he died in someone's arms, and it must have been something they said or something they did. It is unclear what the cause of his death is, but it is clear that the person he was with played a significant role in it. The singer acknowledges that he should have walked away, but he didn't, and now he has paid the ultimate price.

I should have left while I still had the chance
I should've walked away, I should've walked away
I should have left while I still had the chance
