Tell the Reaper I'm Sorry
Lil Revive Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can you save my broken soul?
Save me from misery
Not my time, don't wanna go
Ohh, whoa
Ohh, whoa
Yeah, my life is ending, it started drifting away, yeah
A million dollars finally pulled me out the trenches
But all that money starts to eat at your existence (Lone wolf)
You know I've been so damn lost these days
On my own, I got no one to break me out these chains
It's so hard to calm me down before I go insane
I don't wanna be this way
Numbered on my days now
Ohh, tell the reaper that I'm sorry
I never wanna harm me
But the voice is so alarming
Tonight, tonight
Save me from misery
Can you save my broken soul?
Save me from misery
Not my time, don't wanna go
Ohh, whoa
Ohh, whoa
And all the time I gave to fix it all is not enough
Starts to take it's toll
I'm giving up, I'm giving up now
My vision is blurry
I can't break these chains
And I'll be surprised if I make it today
I'm sorry for all of the pain I create
This life isn't worth it, it's not worth the shame
Ohh, tell the reaper that I'm sorry
I never wanna harm me
But the voice is so alarming
Tonight, tonight
Save me from misery
Can you save my broken soul?
Save me from misery
Not my time, don't wanna go
Ohh, whoa
Ohh, whoa
The lyrics of Lil Revive's song "Tell the Reaper I'm Sorry" are a powerful expression of the artist's struggles with mental health and suicidal thoughts. The opening lines of "Save me from misery / Can you save my broken soul?" set the tone for the rest of the song, which explores the feelings of hopelessness and desperation that can come with mental illness. The repeated refrain of "Not my time, don't wanna go" speaks to the desire to continue living despite the pain and difficulties that the artist is facing.
Throughout the song, Lil Revive touches on the various factors that have contributed to his current state, such as being overwhelmed by fame and losing touch with those around him ("You know I've been so damn lost these days / On my own, I got no one to break me out these chains"). The line "A million dollars finally pulled me out the trenches / But all that money starts to eat at your existence" is particularly poignant, as it highlights the false promises that wealth and success can bring.
Ultimately, the chorus of "Tell the reaper that I'm sorry / I never wanna harm me / But the voice is so alarming" is a plea for help and understanding, as Lil Revive acknowledges the conflicting emotions and thoughts that he's experiencing. The raw honesty and vulnerability of these lyrics make the song both powerful and heartbreaking.
