Dead Dead Dead
Mr. Clit And The Pink Cigarettes Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Yea, Yea
Ah, focus
Listen
I come alive
In the dead of the night
The dead of the night
The dead of the night
I was tired of the fight
I was high off the height
Scared of the dive
Making music in a hotel
Kept my dreams in my pocket
Movie scene like its magic
Tuned out to lies
Was dying to get noticed
Then I morphed into a vortex
No longer feeling hopeless
I'll kiss the sky
But I was terrified
I was terrified
For that better life
I come alive
In the dead of the night
The dead of the night
The dead of the night
I was paralyzed
Tired of the fight
High off the height
Scared off the dive
I was scared
I was scared
I was scared of the dive
I was scared
I was scared
I was scared of the dive
The lyrics to "Dead Dead Dead" by Mr. Clit And The Pink Cigarettes talk about the transformation of the artist during a period of isolation and despair. The song begins by setting the scene in the dead of the night, a moment of vulnerability where the artist comes alive. The repetitiveness of the chorus "The dead of the night" creates a rhythmic emphasis on the power of the night as a catalyst for change.
The artist then proceeds to discuss their state of mind during this time, feeling paralyzed and tired of fighting for their dreams. The use of the phrase "high off the height" suggests that the dream was almost within reach and that the artist was intoxicated by the idea. However, the fear of taking the final step and diving into the unknown prevented them from achieving their goals. The use of the metaphor "scared of the dive" highlights this fear of the unknown and taking risks.
Throughout the song, there is a sense of transformation occurring within the artist. They go from keeping their dreams in their pocket, to morphing into a vortex, feeling a sense of hope and purpose. The repetition of "I was scared" in the final verses reinforces the idea that facing fears is a necessary part of growth.
