Pallbearer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
As salty sweat drips from her breast.
her hips move and I can feel what they're saying, swaying,
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get... yeah.
Yeah.
I am your servant, may I light your cigarette?
Those lips smooth, yeah I can feel what you're saying, praying,
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get... yeah.
Yeah.
I beg to serve, your wish is my law,
Now close those eyes and let me love you to death.
Shall I prove I mean what I'm saying?
Begging,
I say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get. yeah.
Let me love you to...
Let me love you to death.
To death.
Let me love you to...
Let me love you to death.
To death.
Am I good enough for you?
Am I good enough for you?
Am I?
For you?
Am I?
For you?
Am I good enough
For you?
The lyrics of Pallbearer's song "Love You to Death" convey a dark, seductive and submissive tone. The opening lines set the scene of a mistress or lover's place with "one hundred candles burning" and "salty sweat drips from her breast." These lustful details are followed by the singer acknowledging the animalistic and dangerous desires within him. As the rhythm builds, he can feel his own beastly desires rise as the object of his affection sways her hips- the beast inside him's gonna get ya, get ya, get you. The line "black lipstick stains her glass of red wine" and "I am your servant, may I light your cigarette?" further illustrate the submissive nature of the singer as he begs for her attention, hoping to prove his worthiness to his love interest.
The chorus of the song features the singer begging to love his partner to death- "begging, I say the beast inside of me is gonna get ya, get ya, get... yeah. Let me love you to death." The final lines of the song feature the singer questioning his worthiness for his lover, as he repeatedly asks "Am I good enough for you?"
The lyrics of "Love You to Death" are not meant to be taken at face value, as they portray a darker and more complex view of love and desire. The song may be interpreted as a metaphor for the destructive nature of lust and the power dynamics that exist within relationships.

Discovering this band is like finding your long lost love that you thought you’d never find.
@harlanistheman
Exactly!
@natalier.6775
Best description of the emotions felt ever 👌💫 Yes, chills up and down the body and a heaviness in the heart, a deep sadness thay Peter is nonlonger us... Fucking incredible musical experience!
@christinedovin2355
@ hill sxx perfect description! I really wish Peter could have known/believed so many felt this way😔
@sarahwatkins4520
I only wish I got to discover them earlier. Didn't start listening to them until after Peter died. Type O is one band I'd kill to have been able to see live.
@christinedovin2355
@Natalie R. We're you lucky enough to see them live? Unfortunately I wasn't aware of them until about a year ago, I have no idea how that happened cause I listen to all kinds of music all the time!
Figures I wouldn't find my long lost love til it was too late haha
