Die for Me
My Own Private Alaska Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Would you die for me ? If I say please ?
Would you sacrifice ?
Would you call my name ?
There's no other way out to live with it
I will knock on you door every night to beg you
I will write your name on the wall everyday
To show you the way.
I'll never kill you
I'll tell you
I'll tell you to
I'll tell you how

I'll tell you how to do.
On the second day, I'll bring you flowers.
Cause you're more beautiful than any woman I've sean
And the small of the rose will be the last thing
You'll recall when you will be dead
So read you name.




Just one please
My hand, your blood.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Die for Me" by My Own Private Alaska delve into the theme of sacrifice and the extent to which one can push someone to give up their life for them. The song starts with a series of questions, asking someone if they would be willing to die for the singer, and if they would sacrifice anything for them, highlighting the desperate nature of the singer's plea. There's a sense of helplessness in the song as the singer admits that there's no other way to deal with the situation they're in, but to ask for this extreme pledge of loyalty. The lyrics then take a dark turn as the singer goes onto talk about how they would continuously beg and write down the person's name as a sign of their devotion.


The line "I'll never kill you" is particularly chilling as it suggests that the singer has considered this in the past, but instead they would guide the person to kill themselves, making them complicit in their own death. On the second day, the singer promises to bring flowers to the person they're addressing, acknowledging their beauty before leading them to their death. The song ends with the line "My hand, your blood" which is a disturbing image that highlights the twisted relationship between the two individuals.


Overall, "Die for Me" is a disturbing yet fascinating exploration of the limits of devotion and the toxic nature of some relationships. The lyrics paint a picture of someone who is willing to manipulate and coerce someone into giving up their life for them. It's a poignant reminder that sometimes love and devotion can turn into something more sinister.
