Do You Need Me
Lewis Del Mar Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Don't give it a meaning
Look at how we slide on the parquet
Put us through the median
Hundred in July on the freeway
Didn't I have a reason
Laying flat in the driveway
All this madness pleading
Speaking in a slow drip

It's all over for me
I might need it to be
Oh-oh, I got demons to beat
All my life
All my life

Swear I tried to leave you
Creeping up my spine, little migraine
All the walls are leaning
Hundred in July on your birthday
In the bathroom cheating
With a smile in the earthquake
Caught me always needing
Shaking through my mistakes

It's all over for me
I might need it to be
Oh-oh, I got demons to beat
All my life
All my life

(I'm a sucker
I'm a lush and a fiend
Nights I wonder)
If that's all I'll ever be

It's all over for me
I might need it to be
Oh-oh, I got demons to beat
All my life
All my life

It's all over for me
I might need it to be
Oh-oh, I got demons to beat




All my life
All my life

Line by Line Meaning

Don't give it a meaning
There is no need to assign significance to this situation


Look at how we slide on the parquet
Take notice of the way we dance effortlessly on the hardwood floor


Put us through the median
Force us to confront the average, the middle of the road


Hundred in July on the freeway
Driving at 100mph in the middle of summer on the highway


Didn't I have a reason
Wasn't there a valid cause for my actions?


Laying flat in the driveway
Collapsed, prostrate on the concrete outside


All this madness pleading
Begging to escape the insanity


Speaking in a slow drip
Communicating at a sluggish, lethargic pace


It's all over for me
This is the end for me


I might need it to be
Perhaps it's better if it ends now


Oh-oh, I got demons to beat
Oh-oh, I have personal demons to overcome


Swear I tried to leave you
I promise I attempted to walk away from you


Creeping up my spine, little migraine
A small headache is beginning to develop in me


All the walls are leaning
The walls are all tilting precariously


Hundred in July on your birthday
On your birthday, in the middle of summer, it's 100 degrees outside


In the bathroom cheating
Being unfaithful in the restroom


With a smile in the earthquake
Despite the chaos of the earthquake, a smile is present


Caught me always needing
You have caught me constantly desiring something more


Shaking through my mistakes
Trembling as a result of my errors


I'm a sucker
I consistently fall for things I shouldn't


I'm a lush and a fiend
I am an alcoholic and drug addict


Nights I wonder
During the night, I worry about things


If that's all I'll ever be
Am I condemned to be nothing more than that?


All my life
Throughout my entire existence

You have the most unusual way of capturing an oddly lamenting nostalgia that I didn't know I was capable of feeling
