He Kills Me More
Persona Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He wants me to change my ways
He wants to be saved again
Now he asked me to stay the same
Yet he still saves himself away

I've seen no lights into his eyes
I've found no love into his soul, he gives me more
He's found his ways down to my depths
And uses me against myself
He kills me more

Shallow heart sees no emotions yet tries to seize the day
A notion it fails to grasp, for all is shades of gray
As the years go by maybe tomorrow will bring
A change, for you
Use a last one

I've seen no lights into his eyes
I've found no love into his soul he gives me more
He's found his ways down to my depths
And uses me against myself
He kills me more

Images burning, screaming
the lights out make them dreadfully alive
when does this circle of beginnings and endings become synchronized
I sink and yearn and pour all my essence into its void




It holds me firmly in its arms and leaves me no sigh
But makes me scream for you... Forever

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Persona's song "He Kills Me More" seem to depict a toxic and destructive relationship. The singer is caught between the conflicting desires of their partner, who wants them to change while also wanting to remain the same. Despite this paradoxical request, the partner continues to distance themselves emotionally, leaving the singer feeling empty and unloved.


The first verse portrays the singer's frustration with their partner's lack of emotional depth. They feel that there is no genuine love or light in their partner's eyes, yet they continue to receive more pain and suffering from him. The partner has managed to penetrate the depths of the singer's being and uses this against them, intensifying their self-destructive tendencies.


In the second verse, Persona describes the shallow nature of their partner, who fails to understand the complexity of emotions. The partner's perspective is limited, seeing things in black and white, failing to grasp the intricate shades of gray that make up life and relationships. The singer expresses a glimmer of hope for change in the future, acknowledging the possibility that tomorrow may bring something different. However, the final line suggests that this hope may be futile, as the partner's actions continue to inflict pain and leave the singer longing for them forever.


Overall, "He Kills Me More" explores the dynamics of a damaging relationship, where one partner perpetuates a cycle of emotional harm while the other struggles to break free from the toxic hold.


Line by Line Meaning

He wants me to change my ways
He desires for me to alter my behavior


He wants to be saved again
He longs to experience salvation once more


Now he asked me to stay the same
Yet now he requests that I remain unchanged


Yet he still saves himself away
Nevertheless, he continues to distance himself from salvation


I've seen no lights into his eyes
I have observed no spark of life in his gaze


I've found no love into his soul, he gives me more
I have discovered no love within his being, instead, he provides me with more pain


He's found his ways down to my depths
He has found a path to delve into the depths of my being


And uses me against myself
And manipulates me to act against my own interests


He kills me more
He causes me to suffer even greater harm


Shallow heart sees no emotions yet tries to seize the day
A superficial heart is incapable of comprehending emotions yet strives to take advantage of the present


A notion it fails to grasp, for all is shades of gray
An idea it fails to understand, as everything exists in various shades of ambiguity


As the years go by maybe tomorrow will bring
As time passes, there is a possibility that tomorrow will bring about change


A change, for you
A transformation, specifically for you


Use a last one
Leverage the final opportunity


Images burning, screaming
Images engulfed in flames, filled with screams


the lights out make them dreadfully alive
The absence of light emphasizes their excruciating existence


when does this circle of beginnings and endings become synchronized
At what point does this cycle of starting and ending align?


I sink and yearn and pour all my essence into its void
I descend and crave and invest all that I am into its emptiness


It holds me firmly in its arms and leaves me no sigh
It firmly embraces me and provides no relief


But makes me scream for you... Forever
Yet it compels me to cry out for you... eternally

LYRICS :

He wants me to change my ways
He wants to be saved again
Now he asked me to stay the same
Yet he still saves himself away

I've seen no lights into his eyes
I've found no love into his soul, he gives me more
He's found his ways down to my depths
And uses me against myself
He kills me more

Shallow heart sees no emotions yet tries to seize the day
A notion it fails to grasp, for all is shades of gray
As the years go by maybe tomorrow will bring
A change, for you
Use a last one

I've seen no lights into his eyes
I've found no love into his soul he gives me more
He's found his ways down to my depths
And uses me against myself
He kills me more

Images burning, screaming...
The lights out make them dreadfully alive...
When does this circle of beginnings and endings become synchronized?
I sink and yearn and pour all my essence into its void...
It holds me firmly in its arms and leaves me no sigh,
but makes me scream for you... Forever...
