vers1:
I gave my self some time today
Sat down and critized my way
The dark was born when i could see
that love is not inside of me
Dont tell me Im the only one
Im dead of what this life have done
refr:
Cant handle the pain
this life is so hollow
And I cant make the rain
to drown my own sorrow

and I cant stand this life
when you are my poison
Im cut by a knife
of your devotion

stick:
Of your devotion of your devotion
Im dead by you
I died by you

vers2:




and this world is lost in fire
and the flames are reaching higher

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Nomy's song "I Died By You" describes the singer's struggle with love and life. The first verse talks about how they took a moment to reflect on their life and come to the realization that they cannot find love within themselves. They feel alone and believes that others can relate to their feelings. The singer goes as far as saying that they are "dead of what this life have done" which suggests that they are hopeless and lost in their own darkness.


The chorus reiterates the pain and suffering the singer is experiencing, where they cannot handle their life and the feeling of emptiness that comes with it. They want to hide from their sorrows but find it impossible as love is their poison. The repetition of "Im dead by you, I died by you" in the stick section shows that the singer has given in to their struggles and feels as though their hurt and pain are caused by the person they love.


The second verse paints a dismal picture of the world being engulfed in flames where nothing is salvageable. It could be interpreted as a metaphor for the singer's life where they are stuck in a place of despair and cannot find happiness. The lyrics of this song suggest a sense of hopelessness, despair, and lack of control over one's life.

I gave my self some time today
I took some time out of my day to reflect


Sat down and criticized my way
I took a hard look at myself and evaluated my choices


The dark was born when I could see
I became aware of my own shortcomings and flaws


That love is not inside of me
I realized that I am not capable of loving others fully


Don’t tell me I'm the only one
I don't want to feel alone in my pain


I'm dead of what this life have done
I am exhausted and defeated by the hardships of life


Can't handle the pain, this life is so hollow
I am unable to cope with the pain and emptiness of life


And I can't make the rain to drown my own sorrow
I am unable to find solace in anything


And I can't stand this life when you are my poison
I feel trapped and suffocated in a toxic relationship


I'm cut by a knife of your devotion
The love and attention I receive from you hurts me deeply


Of your devotion, of your devotion
The devotion and attention that you give me is too much to bear


I'm dead by you, I died by you
You have caused my emotional downfall and destruction


And this world is lost in fire
The world is chaotic and on the verge of destruction


And the flames are reaching higher
The situation is getting more intense and out of control
