Promises
Nero (Skillrex remix) Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How can I ever deny
You got me so high
So high I cannot feel the fire
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you’ll be sweet
And you’ll never want to leave my side
As long as I don’t break these
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
You got me so wild
Why should I be so surprised?
You got me so high
Don’t you see it in my eyes?
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you’ll be sweet
And you’ll never want to leave my side
As long as I don’t break these
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
They are so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
The lyrics to Nero (Skrillex Remix)'s song "Promises" describe the feeling of being lost in a relationship and the fear of breaking promises. The singer is deeply in love with their partner, who makes them feel wild and high like they've never felt before. The partner keeps assuring the singer that they will be sweet and never leave their side, as long as the singer doesn't break any promises. However, the singer is aware that these promises feel wasted on themselves, as they fear not being able to keep them and potentially jeopardizing their relationship.
The repetition of the phrase "promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself" emphasizes the insecurity and doubt that the singer feels towards their ability to keep their promises. They love their partner so much that the fear of losing them becomes overwhelming, leading them to question their own trustworthiness.
The overall message of the song is about the vulnerability of love and the fear of failing in a relationship. Despite the reassurance and love from their partner, the singer cannot help but feel doubtful and scared about the future of their relationship.

Lyrics:
You got me so wild.
How can I ever deny?
You got me so high.
So high I cannot feel the fire. And you keep telling me, telling me that you'll be sweet. And you never wanna leave my side. As long as I don't break these, promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself. Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself.
You got me so wild.
Why should I be so surprised? You got me so high. Don't you see it in my eyes? And you keep telling me.Telling me that you'll be sweet. And you never wanna leave my side. As long as I don't break these. Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself. Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself promises. And they still feel all so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
They are so wasted on myself.
Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself. Promises and they still feel all
so wasted on myself.
Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself.
Promises and they still feel all so wasted on myself.
