Promises
Nero ft Skrillex 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
And they still feel oh so wasted on myself
(And they still feel oh so wasted on myself)
(And they still feel oh so wasted on myself)
(Feel oh so wasted on myself, feel oh so wasted on myself)
(Feel oh so wasted on myself, 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
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
And they still feel oh so wasted on myself
(And they still feel oh so wasted on myself)
(And they still feel oh so wasted on myself)
(Feel oh so wasted on myself, feel oh so wasted on myself)
(Feel oh so wasted on myself, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself)
The lyrics to Nero ft Skrillex's song Promises explore the exhilarating, but potentially self-destructive nature of a passionate relationship. The singer is consumed by their partner, who has gotten them so wild and high that they cannot feel the fire. Despite the potential consequences, the partner keeps making promises to stay by the singer's side as long as they don't break them. But the singer seems to feel that these promises are wasted on them, and that they are doomed to break them anyway.
The repetition of the line "Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself" highlights the singer's internal conflict. On the one hand, they are drawn to their partner and the intensity of their relationship. But on the other hand, they are aware of their own potential to let their partner down and ruin everything. The use of the phrase "wasted on myself" suggests that the singer feels undeserving of their partner's promises, and that they are their own worst enemy.
Overall, the lyrics to Promises are a poignant exploration of the emotional highs and lows of a passionate relationship. They acknowledge the thrill of surrendering oneself to someone else, while also acknowledging the fear and doubt that can come with that surrender.
