Lovelife Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And its pitch black outside now, (where the fuck, have we been)
And my hands like a merry-go-round, (I cant feel, a thing)
And why do you look so down, (say something, anything)
And if im alive then tell me how am I,
Cause I dont know,
You know something I dont and its tearing me apart,
Im running right out of time till its my doomsday,
The devil wants me where he can see me,
Is the bood on your hands from me, (or from you, or someone else)
I dont remember a single thing, (are you drunk, and did I drink)
I blacked out when the car flipped, (oh my god, I feel sick)
And why do you look so down, (say something anything)
And if I survive then tell me how do I,
Cause I dont know,
You know something I dont and its tearing me apart,
Im running right out of time till its my doomsday,
Doomsday, im running right out of time,
The devil wants me where he can see me,
And if I die then tell me how do I,
Cause I dont know, at all,
Im running right out of time till its my doomsday,
Doomsday, im running right out of time,
The devil wants me where he can see me
The song "Doomsday" by Lovelife is an emotional, introspective piece that revolves around a car accident that has left the singer in critical condition. The opening lines set the stage - the singer is in the back of an ambulance with another person, presumably the driver of the car. The darkness outside mirrors the singer's confusion and lack of understanding about what exactly has happened. The line "my hands like a merry-go-round" could refer to the disorientation and confusion that comes with being in a traumatic situation.
The chorus ("And if I survive then tell me how do I, Cause I dont know") is a poignant plea for clarity and understanding in a time of great uncertainty. The singer is desperately seeking answers, but is only met with more confusion and anxiety. The line "you know something I dont and its tearing me apart" implies that the other person in the ambulance has some knowledge or information that they are withholding from the singer, which is contributing to their distress.
The mention of the devil wanting to see the singer suggests a religious or spiritual aspect to the song, possibly relating to the idea of judgment and redemption. The line "is the blood on your hands from me" implies some kind of guilt or responsibility on the part of the driver, adding another layer of complexity to the situation. The song ends on a note of uncertainty and urgency, with the singer aware that their time is limited and seeking answers before it's too late.
