promise
Skrillex/Nero Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You got me so wild
How can I ever deny?
You got me so high
So high I cannot feel the fire
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you'll be sweet
And you'll never want to leave my side
As long as I don't break these

Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself

And they still feel oh so wasted on myself

(And they still feel oh so wasted on myself)
(And they still feel oh so wasted on myself)

(Feel oh so wasted on myself, feel oh so wasted on myself)
(Feel oh so wasted on myself, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself)

Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself

And they still feel oh so wasted on myself

(And they still feel oh so wasted on myself)
(And they still feel oh so wasted on myself)





(Feel oh so wasted on myself, feel oh so wasted on myself)
(Feel oh so wasted on myself, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Skrillex and Nero's song "Promises" delve into the emotions of being swept away by someone and making promises to them that feel almost wasted on oneself. The singer notes that their lover has gotten them so wild and high that they cannot deny their feelings. They are constantly reassured by their partner that they will be sweet and will never want to leave their side, but they acknowledge that these promises feel wasted on themselves.


The repetition of "promises" throughout the song further emphasizes the theme of making commitments that may not necessarily feel genuine or sincere. Despite the reassurances, the singer still feels a sense of insecurity and anxiety, as indicated by the repetition of "and they still feel oh so wasted on myself." Overall, the lyrics depict a complex and conflicting mix of emotions that can arise in a relationship, particularly in the early stages.

You got me so wild
How can I ever deny
You got me so high
So high I cannot feel the fire
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you'll be sweet
And you'll never want to leave my side
As long as I don't break these
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
Promises, and they still feel oh so wasted on myself
You got me so wild
Why should I be so surprised?
You got me so high
Don't you see it in my eyes?
And you keep telling me
Telling me that you'll be sweet
And you'll never want to leave my side
As long as I don't break these
