For You I´ll Die
Marion Raven Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
With your voice so deep
But you were just talking in your sleep
I'll do just what you crave
My life for you I'll waive
All I get is the spot next to your grave
I'm not hanging here
to keep you company
[*]
But what am I suppose to do when all hope is gone?
How am I suppose to leave you when you're the only one?
I made a deal with Mr. Hades
my soul he wants to buy
For you I'll die
Oh this is the end
My only friend, the end
are words from our favourite band
I know we're not astray
And my love won't decay
Are things that you'll never say
It is strange how time flies
It's been a year that's gone by
and you don't know the colour of my eyes
[*]
For you I'll die
No oh, no oh oh, no oh
And you're a fool to not see
I'm not hanging here
to keep you company
It is strange how time flies
It's been a year that's gone by
and you don't know the colour of my eyes
[*]
For you I'll die
For you I'll die
For you I'll die
The song "For You I'll Die" by Marion Raven talks about a one-sided love story. The song's first verse describes how the singer of the song is being told that she is "yours to keep" by someone who is presumably her lover. However, she realizes that these words were spoken in his sleep and, thus, are not genuine. In the next verse, she admits to sacrificing her own life and everything she has just to be with him even if it only means standing by his grave. In the refrain, she contemplates over what she should do and asks how she could leave him when he's the only one she loves. She made a deal with Mr. Hades, the God of death in Greek mythology to buy her soul, all for him.
In the second verse, the singer acknowledges that her relationship is not perfect, but she still believes in their love, as the words "my love won't decay" show. However, the only thing that hurts her the most is the fact that her lover does not even see what she is doing for him, and he does not know simple things about her, such as the colour of her eyes. In the end, the song finishes with the same refrain, repeating that she would die for him as an ultimate way to prove her love for him.
Overall, the song "For You I'll Die" portrays how love can be one-sided, and when a person doesn't realize the love given to them, it can create a feeling of sacrifice and desperation.
Line by Line Meaning
You said I'm yours to keep
You claimed me as your possession
With your voice so deep
You said it in a convincing tone
But you were just talking in your sleep
But it was just a meaningless dream
I'll do just what you crave
I'll fulfill all your desires
My life for you I'll waive
I'll give up my life for you
All I get is the spot next to your grave
But all I'll receive is a place beside your deathbed
And you're a fool to not see
You're blind to not notice
I'm not hanging here to keep you company
I'm not staying here just to accompany you
But what am I suppose to do when all hope is gone?
But what can I do when there's no hope left?
How am I suppose to leave you when you're the only one?
How can I abandon you when you're all I have?
I made a deal with Mr. Hades
I bargained with Hades, the god of the underworld
my soul he wants to buy
He wants to purchase my soul
For you I'll die
But I'll die for you instead
Oh this is the end
The end has arrived
My only friend, the end
My ally is death itself
are words from our favourite band
Are lyrics from our most cherished song
I know we're not astray
I know we're not lost
And my love won't decay
And my affection won't diminish
Are things that you'll never say
But you'll never express these things
It is strange how time flies
It's peculiar how time passes by
It's been a year that's gone by
A year has elapsed
and you don't know the colour of my eyes
But you don't know the hue of my eyes
No oh, no oh oh, no oh
No, oh no, no, no
For you I'll die
I'll die for you
For you I'll die
I'll die for you
For you I'll die
I'll die for you
