Death of Me
Lay Your Ghost Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Let my teeth pierce your skin
Let me feel and caress
Your beautiful pale skin and thighs
The passion we share is mutual
So let me feel
Let me love, again
Your flesh
Your love
Your body
Your presence
Will be the death of me
Lay me down and show me your worth
It's your turn to dominate
The taste of your skin has never been sweeter
I'll give in to you
I'll let you feel
I'll let you love again
My lips
My flesh
My love
My body
My presence will be the death of you
I'll give it all to you
The lyrics of Lay Your Ghost's song "Death of Me" depict an intense and passionate moment between two individuals. The first paragraph describes the singer's desire to feel and touch the other person's skin and concludes with the admission that the passion they share is mutual. The second verse begins with the singer asking the other person to lay them down and to dominate them. The taste of the other person's skin is described as being "sweeter" than ever before, which intensifies the passion they share. In the last line, the singer states that they will give themselves completely to the other person.
The lyrics of this song have a dark and eerie tone, which makes the interpretation of the message ambiguous. It could either be depicting a consensual intimate moment or darker sentiments like power and revenge. It seems like a reference to a darker version of a relationship where a dominant submits themselves to the submissive partner. This could be interpreted as a form of obsession, addiction and a mutual submission to each other. Some may interpret the lyrics as a lack of inhibitions to live life on the edge and embrace their destructive tendencies.
