Dead
Sezairi Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

When you held my hand I woke up
From this slumber in my mental space
You confuse me with your smile
You invite me with your eyes
Could've sworn that I was dead

When you look at me I hold back
There's this energy I can't explain
I'm reacting when I talk
I forget just how to walk
Could've sworn that I was dead

I want you to hold my hand (please hold my hand)
I want you to understand (please understand)
I've never really been in love
Before was just pretend

Every second that you hold me (every second that you hold me)
Keeps reversing all the hurt I've ever felt inside
I just gotta let you know
If you ever let me go
I won't get you out of my head

Yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
Time and time I'm trippin'
All on my ends I'm slippin'
I tell my friends I'm livid
I can't deny these feelings
I'm tryna hide
But I'ma just check the vibe
Can I go?

Writing down my feelings to these rhymes and cycle
Got me crazy pacing back and forth like psycho
Balancing the way I feel
You got me on tightrope
I just need an answer from you
Baby I like you
Need some life support
It's like I'm dead on arrival

You call baby I'ma pick up the phone
These stars lineup I've been feeling alone
These thoughts baby, they've been filling my dome
Heart beats for you, I feel it in my bones

Running, running, running
I've been tryna find a way to get you in my arms
I know it
Baby I'll be here to hold ya
Hold ya
Hold ya
Hold ya, yeah

I want you to hold my hand (please hold my hand)
I want you to understand (please understand)
I've never really been in love
Before was just pretend

Every second that you hold me (every second that you hold me)
Keeps reversing all the hurt I've ever felt inside
I just gotta let you know
If you ever let me go
I won't get you out of my head

Letting go, it's like I'm void of emotion
Hold me baby, hold me tryna get in motion
Cradle me I'm falling deep in your ocean
Frequency and lightning, did you get my notion

Letting go, it's like I'm void of emotion
Hold me baby, hold me tryna get in motion




Cradle me I'm falling deep in your ocean
Frequency and lightning, did you get my notion

When you held my hand I woke up
Your touch awakens me from the mental slumber I was in


From this slumber in my mental space
