Prime Ministers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
How could I, throw it all away? I don't know!
With every step I took,
I was going deeper and deeper
What have I done with you?
The lies that make you
The truth that almost breaks you
Dead man walking, I'm a,
Dead man walking all night
Dead man walking, I'm a,
Dead man walking all night long
Looking around me, there's nowhere to go, I am dying
Maybe I, I'm losing my mind, someone hurry
I will be letting go
I'm going inside and I'm locking the door
I will be gone for long.
Until I can face you I need a new sensation
Dead man walking, I'm a,
Dead man walking all night
Dead man walking, I'm a,
Dead man walking all night long
It's in my head, it's in my head
Ooh like the boogie man
Dead man walking
Dead man walking
Dead man walking
Dead man walking
The song "Dead Man Walking" by Prime Ministers talks about someone who had everything going for them, but somehow managed to throw it all away. The lyrics open by describing how the singer had it all and was flying high, but then threw it away for some reason that they cannot explain. As they take each step, they keep falling deeper and deeper until they are not sure what they have done with themselves. The lies that they told ended up shaping their life and almost broke them. Thus, they feel like a "Dead Man Walking" – aimlessly wandering with no direction or purpose.
As the song continues, the singer looks around and sees nowhere to go – feeling lost and dying inside. They reflect on their current situation and wonder if they are losing their mind. They decide to lock themselves in and be gone for a while, until they can face their truth and seek a new sensation – one that will give them meaning.

With every step I took,
As I moved forward in life
I was going deeper and deeper
Things were getting more complicated and intricate

It's haunting me, like a scary monster under the bed.
