Mileo Madcon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You know it′s not
You said you needed me you must've forgot
Of all the people I've dated your the worst
I said I′d probably like maybe put you first
Oh
You said you can′t live without me
Now your with him and not me
Well then you probably should be dead
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Oh am I messing with your head
Yeah, yeah
Well then you probably should be dead
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Won′t catch me crawling to your bed ed no oh
Don't say you weren′t aware babe
But I know you were
You know our relationship was basically just a blur
So you should run run while you still can
Cause you know your the only one I could never stand
You said you can't live without me
Can′t breathe without me
Now your with him and not me
Well then you probably should be dead
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Oh am I messing with your head
Yeah, yeah
Well then you probably should be dead
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Won't catch me crawling to your bed ed no oh
(Madcons part)
Well then you probably should be dead
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Oh am I messing with your head
Yeah, yeah
Well then you probably should be dead
(Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh)
Won't catch me crawling to your bed ed no oh
You won′t ever
Catch me crawling
Catch me crawling
Back into back into back into your arms
Catch me crawling
Catch me crawling
Back ba back
Uh
Catch me crawling
Catch me crawling
Back into back into back into your arms
Catch me crawling
Catch me crawling
Back ba back
Uh
In Madcon's song "Dead," the lyrics tell the story of a relationship that has ended badly. The singer starts by pointing out that the other person is trying to make things seem more complicated than they really are by saying that they "needed" the singer when in reality they forgot about them. The singer then goes on to describe how out of all the people they've dated, the other person was the worst and that they wouldn't crawl back to their bed. In the chorus, the singer tells the other person that if they can't live without them and still thinks about them, maybe they should be dead. The song ends with Madcon taking over and repeating the chorus while adding in "Catch me crawling back into your arms" to express the idea of resisting the urge to be with someone who is toxic and not good for your mental health.
It's interesting to note that the title of the song "Dead" is actually a reference to a slang word in Norwegian which means "very drunk". Madcon is a Norwegian duo, so it makes sense that they would use this term in one of their songs.
