Dead Wrong
Melody Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm on the fence
Does everything always have to make sense?
A black and white picture of us falls down
From a wall that never existed

It's luck of draw, but you had the power to change it all
You didn't, you stabbed me with all your words
That I won't forget anymore I won't forget this

Please tell me I'm wrong
I'm keeping this secret quiet
Don't tell me I'm strong
I never get things all right
Please tell me I'm wrong
And look what you've done to me
Don't tell me I'm strong
Your light is still blinding me

Don't turn around my screams are so useless
We're down for count but no one expected me to realize
I'm laying waste on my remorse

It's luck of draw, but you had the power to change it all
You didn't, you stabbed me with all your words
That I won't forget anymore I won't forget this

Please tell me I'm wrong
I'm keeping this secret quiet
Don't tell me I'm strong
I never get things all right
Please tell me I'm wrong
And look what you've done to me
Don't tell me I'm strong
Your light is still blinding me

Please tell me I'm wrong
I'm keeping this secret quiet
Don't tell me I'm strong
I never get things all right
Please tell me I'm wrong
And look what you've done to me
Don't tell me I'm strong
Your light is still blinding me

Please tell me I'm wrong
I'm keeping this secret quiet
Don't tell me I'm strong
I never get things all right
Please tell me I'm wrong
And look what you've done to me




Don't tell me I'm strong
Your light is still blinding me

Line by Line Meaning

I'm on the fence
I am indecisive about the situation


Does everything always have to make sense?
Is it necessary for everything to be logical?


A black and white picture of us falls down
An image of us in monochrome drops


From a wall that never existed
The wall was an illusion


It's luck of draw, but you had the power to change it all
The outcome was arbitrary, but you had the choice to alter it


You didn't, you stabbed me with all your words
You chose not to, instead, you harmed me verbally


That I won't forget anymore I won't forget this
I will remember this and never forget it


Please tell me I'm wrong
I hope that I am mistaken


I'm keeping this secret quiet
I am not revealing this information


Don't tell me I'm strong
I am not capable of handling this situation


I never get things all right
I often make mistakes


And look what you've done to me
This is the result of your actions


Your light is still blinding me
Your influence still affects me


Don't turn around my screams are so useless
My cries for help are pointless and ignored


We're down for count but no one expected me to realize
We are defeated, but I was expected to remain ignorant


I'm laying waste on my remorse
I am attempting to cope with my regret and guilt
