You killed me
When you left me
Now you're looking
At a dead man walking
x2

Dead man walking
X3

I said no you said yes
I will go don't love you no more
And you left me alone
With a broken soul
And you killed all my dreams
You killed everything
Can't go on living
Without you by my side

There's no death
There's no life

You killed me
When you left me
Now you're looking
At a dead man walking
x4

Dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking

I said black you said white
I don't mind let's leave that behind
I'm sure we can find
A new way of life
'Cause you killed all my dreams
You killed everything
Can't go on living
Without you by my side

There's no death
There's no life

You killed me
When you left me
Now you're looking
At a dead man walking
x4

I know we broke up
Kinda messed up
But I know that
We can give it one more try
x4

You killed me
When you left me
Now you're looking
At a dead man walking
x4

At a dead man walking
x3

You killed me
When you left me
Now you're looking
At a dead man walking





At a dead man walking
x3

Overall Meaning

The song "Dead Man Walking" by Smiley is a song about heartbreak and how it can leave an individual in a state of emotional limbo, feeling as if they are just going through the motions of life with no real purpose or passion. The lyrics are written in a direct and confrontational manner, with the singer openly expressing their pain and frustration at being abandoned by someone they loved. The opening verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, with the singer accusing their former lover of killing them by leaving: "You killed me when you left me, now you're looking at a dead man walking."


As the song progresses, the singer describes the painful aftermath of the breakup, with lines such as "and you left me alone with a broken soul" and "can't go on living without you by my side." The chorus, made up of the repeated phrase "dead man walking," drives home the feeling of hopelessness and despair that the singer is experiencing. The second half of the song offers a glimmer of hope, with the singer suggesting that a reconciliation might be possible: "I know we broke up, kinda messed up, but I know that we can give it one more try."


Overall, "Dead Man Walking" is a powerful and emotionally raw song that captures the anguish of heartbreak and the struggle to move on from a relationship that has ended.


Line by Line Meaning

You killed me
I feel so hurt and broken because of what you did to me


When you left me
My pain stems from the fact that you abandoned me


Now you're looking
You're staring at the result of your actions


At a dead man walking
I'm so dead inside that even the act of walking feels pointless


Dead man walking
My soul is dead, and I'm just going through the motions of life


I said no you said yes
Our disagreements ultimately led to our separation


I will go don't love you no more
You no longer hold a place in my heart, and I'm leaving


And you left me alone
You ignored my emotional needs and neglected our relationship


With a broken soul
You shattered my spirit and left me feeling empty


And you killed all my dreams
You destroyed my aspirations and hopes for the future


You killed everything
Your departure left me without any sense of purpose or motivation


Can't go on living
The pain of losing you is too much for me to bear


Without you by my side
I need you in my life to feel complete and happy


There's no death
Nothing can compare to the death I'm experiencing emotionally


There's no life
Without you, my life feels empty and full of despair


I said black you said white
We had opposing views that couldn't be reconciled


I don't mind let's leave that behind
I'm willing to overlook our differences to fix our relationship


I'm sure we can find
I'm optimistic that we can work through our issues


A new way of life
We need to establish a new way of being together


I know we broke up
Our relationship ended, but I still love you


Kinda messed up
We didn't handle our breakup well and acted irrationally


But I know that
Despite everything, I still believe we can make it work


We can give it one more try
We have one last chance to fix our relationship


At a dead man walking
Even if we reconcile, I'll still feel broken inside
