Destroy Me
Marsheaux Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Inside, I think you know
Lies, you fell so low
In time the hurt will go
Kiss me, I want you
Destroy me, I dare you
Kill me, I release you
Save me, I need you
Words, no need to say
So please, don’t walk away
Guilds, the price to pay
So sorry you have to stay
The lyrics to Marsheaux's song "Destroy Me" paint a vivid picture of a relationship that has come to an end. The singer is coming to terms with the fact that their partner has fallen out of love with them and is ready to move on. The first line, "Now you are free to go," indicates that the singer has finally accepted their fate and has come to terms with the fact that their partner is no longer invested in the relationship. However, the second line, "Inside, I think you know," still leaves some hope that their partner may have lingering feelings that they are suppressing.
The next few lines describe the pain and hurt that the singer is feeling after being let go. The line "Lies, you fell so low" suggests that their partner may have lied or broken their trust in some way that led to the end of the relationship. The phrase "in time the hurt will go" suggests that the singer understands that eventually, they will get over the pain and move on with their life, but for now, they are still hurting.
The chorus of the song is where the singer takes back some control of the situation. "Kiss me, I want you, destroy me, I dare you" is a powerful statement that suggests the singer is willing to take a risk and let their partner hurt them if it means getting some kind of closure or clarity about the situation. The following lines "Kill me, I release you, save me, I need you" demonstrate that the singer is torn between wanting to move on and needing their partner to take some kind of action to heal their pain.
The final few lines of the song suggest that the singer knows that their partner is feeling guilt over the situation and wishes that they could undo what has been done. The line "words, no need to say, so please don't walk away" implies that the singer is ready to forgive their partner and move forward together if they can work through their issues. However, the final line "so sorry you have to stay" suggests that the singer knows that there are still some unresolved issues that need to be addressed.
Line by Line Meaning
Now you are free to go
You have full liberty to leave now
Inside, I think you know
You are aware internally
Lies, you fell so low
Your deceitfulness has lowered you
In time the hurt will go
With time, the pain will dissipate
Kiss me, I want you
I desire a kiss from you
Destroy me, I dare you
Take bold action and harm me
Kill me, I release you
If you kill me, you are liberated
Save me, I need you
I depend on you to rescue me
Words, no need to say
There is no necessity to exchange words
So please, don’t walk away
Kindly don't leave me behind
Guilds, the price to pay
Regret and remorse are the consequences
So sorry you have to stay
I apologize for your obligation to remain here
