Leaether Strip Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Through the flames
Carry me
Please carry me
To my grave
Carry me
"They're going to kill us.
I was wrong to believe in you
You brought me to my knees and I obeyed
Over now, guess it's over now
You ripped my trust in pieces with your lies
Please carry me
Through the flames
Carry me
Please carry me
To my grave
Carry me
I can't see why you couldn't tell it all
You did me (?) again and I believed
You took a chance, now there's no return
You took what I had left of my soul
Please carry me
Through the flames
Carry me
Please carry me
To my grave
Carry me
Can I trust anyone?
Can I feel that you belong to me?
No more lies from your mouth
Everything you say will set you free
Please carry me
Through the flames
Carry me
Please carry me
To my grave
Carry me
Leaether Strip's song Carry Me is a dark, emotional track that touches on themes of betrayal and trust. The lyrics are addressed to someone who has caused the singer great pain, and the repeated plea to carry them through the flames and to their grave serves as a haunting metaphor for the emotional turmoil that they are experiencing.
The song begins with a chilling quote, "they're going to kill us. All of us. All... of us..." This sets the tone for the rest of the track, as the singer seems to be in a state of panic and despair. They acknowledge that they were wrong to have believed in the person who has hurt them, and express their rage at having been "ripped [their] trust in pieces with [their] lies."
Despite this betrayal, the singer still feels a sense of attachment to the person who hurt them, and begs for them to carry them through the flames and to their grave. They are confused and distrustful of everyone around them, and question whether they will ever be able to trust another person again. Ultimately, the song presents a bleak outlook on human relationships, emphasizing the immense pain that can come from placing trust in the wrong person.
