Dying for You
Otto Knows Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
That must mean you've been pretending now for a while
To me you don't have to keep hiding away who you are
Remember how we said together we will go far
Summer nights, side by side
Oh I know you remember how we laughed until we cried
So when you're down and out from your troubled life
When all you have is doubt, know that I'm around
I will be dying for you, dying for you
So when you're down and out from your troubled life
I will be dying for you, dying for you
When all you have is doubt, know that I'm around
I will be dying for you, dying for you
Dying for you, dying for you, oh I'll be dying for you
You kept on changing your colors to be someone else
But you know some things should never, ever be changed
Summer nights, side by side
Oh I know you remember how we laughed until we cried
So when you're down and out from your troubled life
I will be dying for you, dying for you
When all you have is doubt, know that I'm around
I will be dying for you, dying for you
So when you're down and out from your troubled life
I will be dying for you, dying for you
When all you have is doubt, know that I'm around
I will be dying for you, dying for you
(I will be dying for you)
I will be dying for you, dying for you, dying for you
I will be dying for you, dying for you
I will be dying for you
The lyrics of "Dying For You" by Otto Knows speak about a person who is struggling and pretending to be someone they are not. The singer is aware of this and encourages them to be true to themselves, assuring them of their support. The song suggests that the person is putting on a façade of happiness and hiding their troubles, which is making it difficult for them to maintain their smile. They advise the person to stop pretending and to embrace who they are, just how they did in their past when they laughed until they cried on summer nights spent side by side.
The chorus of the song states that the singer will always be there for the person, ready to make sacrifices, and is willing to die for them. The song’s message is powerful, letting people know that they are not alone in their struggles and they can count on someone to be their support system.

Well done Lindsey. Truly I love your music, it's awe inspiring and fills
a room very quickly with passion and joy. Since your first video on
youtube I've been following you, and I have watched you create more and
more stunningly beautiful music videos. It's awesome to see that your
music is being published and recognized by so many others. I hope to see
much much more from you in the coming years. Would love to see new
albums and experience the SOUL you pour into your music. I can see you
love to do what you do here in your videos. The expressions, and the joy
while playing the violin not only helps promote the music, but also
helps promote more joy and happiness into the world. My thoughts are
with you
@CZsWorld
