Diary
Low Millions Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I couldn't find the key
I had to know your secrets
The thoughts you keep from me
I read how you resent me
You even dreamed that I was dead
You said, you thought that I'd look stunning
Ooh, It's too biza are are e to believe
Ooh, you can't be talkin' ‘bout me
That's the way I have to read it
In your diary
Now we can fight if you want to
Unhappily ever after
Or, you can just tell me
To my face, if you think I'm such a bastard
I knew you weren't happy
Yeah but who'd of guessed of this
To read that you were planning
To betray me with a kiss
You'll probably just leave me, and I'll fall apart
Might as well just kill me
Why don't you finish what you started
The lyrics of Low Millions' song "Diary" describe the discovery of a diary by the singer who used a screwdriver to unlock it because they could not find the key. The singer reads about the writer's resentful feelings towards them, including a dream in which the writer wished there was a bullet in the singer's head. At first, the singer is in disbelief that the diary entry is about them since they can't imagine someone feeling such intense anger towards them. However, the singer decides to confront the writer of the diary and suggest that they talk it out instead of engaging in an unhappy and potentially violent relationship.
The lyrics of "Diary" clearly explore themes of betrayal, mistrust and secrecy in a romantic relationship. The intense feelings and anger that the writer feels towards the singer is revealed through the private accounts of a diary that was never meant to be seen by the singer. The imagery around death and killing that is present in the diary entry creates a sense of danger and instability, as the writer seems to harbour dark and violent thoughts towards the singer. However, the singer chooses to face these feelings head-on, showing a willingness to engage in honest confrontation and communication.

If everything falls apart, I can't bear to exist in this world without you
Why don't you finish what you started
If you're going to leave or hurt me, you might as well go all the way
