Bored To Death
Sarah Walk Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I'm bored to death, What I did run here for?
I'm bored to death, What did I love you for?
When I know you won't save me
When I know you won't chase me down.
There's nothing left, What did you stay here for?
I can't help myself, I'll bring you down
Wait around with me
When I see you now you seem so different
I wanna know where you are
But we can't go back
And we can't slow down
And I don't know what's gonna come of us
And I don't know how to turn back
No, we can't go back
And we can't slow down
And I don't know what's gonna come of us
And I don't know how to turn back time
Can we slow this down?
Cause I don't know what's gonna come of us
And I don't know how to turn back time
There was a time when love seemed easy
And there was a time when love seemed true
But now I'm older, and my heart is colder
And I lost faith in what I knew
Cause there was a time when you felt me
So why did you waste my time?
But we can't go back
And we can't slow down
And I don't know what's gonna come of us
And I don't know how to turn back time
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
I'm bored to death, What did I come here for?
I wanna know where you are
But we can't go back
And we can't slow down
And I don't know what's gonna come of us
And I don't know how to turn back
No, we can't go back
And we can't slow down
And I don't know what's gonna come of us
And I don't know how to turn back time
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
(Cause I don't know what's gonna come of us)
(And I don't know how to turn back time)
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
(Cause I don't know what's gonna come of us)
(And I don't know how to turn back time)
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
Can we slow this down?
The song "Bored to Death" by Sarah Walk is a melancholic ballad about a relationship that has lost its spark. The lyrics are full of regret, frustration, and yearning. The first verse sets the theme of boredom and disillusionment, as the singer asks "What did I come here for? What did I love you for?" She seems to be questioning the very foundation of their relationship.
In the chorus, the singer acknowledges that they can't turn back time or slow things down. It's clear that the relationship is in trouble, and the singer is searching for a way to salvage it. She repeats the refrain "Can we slow this down?" almost like a plea, hoping that somehow they can find a way to reignite their love.
The second verse continues with the theme of nostalgia and regret, with the singer reminiscing about a time when love seemed easy and true. She wonders why her partner is wasting her time, and why they seem so distant now. The song ends with a repetition of the chorus, emphasizing the singer's desperation to save the relationship but feeling powerless to do so.
Overall, "Bored to Death" is a poignant reflection on the difficulties of maintaining a long-term relationship and the human tendency to take love and happiness for granted.
