Dead
T Riley Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Said she drove from the valley (Drove from the valley)
Left the car with the valet (With the valet)
I don't think I could want any other girl this badly (Any other girl)
Said she here for the weekend (Here for the weekend)
If I didn't know (Didn't know)
I think it's time to figure out if you're ready to go (If you're ready to go)
You told me you don't wanna party no more (No more, no more)
Your other man can't even afford the seats on the floor (Even)
Tell me what you're about, oh yeah
Let me figure you out, oh yeah
We could drain the account
But tell me why you're lyin'
Tell me, tell me, tell me

White lies, white lies
All these white lines, I'm barely sober
That's why, that's why
As long as I'm alive, it's dead and over
White lines, white lines
All these white lines, I'm barely sober
That's why, that's why
As long as I'm alive, it's dead and over
As long as I'm alive, it's dead and over
As long as I'm alive, it's dead and over

Remember when you told me it was all okay
That you don't date for fame
I wonder if it's still the same (Ooh yeah)
Or if you lyin'
I know you want it, you got it
Go flaunt it, 'cause baby I'm off you acting like a hoe
And now you still think about me
You don't live in 'Cali no more
You went and moved out to Miami and left this sad song
What's the difference to me? Ooh yeah
If you in VIP, ooh yeah
You're still down on your knees
Like you prayin' 'cause you lyin'
Tell me, tell me, tell me

White lies, white lies
All these white lines, I'm barely sober
That's why, that's why
As long as I'm alive, it's dead and over
White lines, white lines
All these white lines, I'm barely sober
That's why, that's why
As long as I'm alive, it's dead and over (Dead and over)
As long as I'm alive, it's dead and over (Dead and over)
As long as I'm alive, it's dead and over (Dead and over)




As long as I'm alive, it's dead and over (Dead and over)
Dead and over

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to T Riley’s song ‘Dead in 2-3’ describe a situation where the singer meets a girl who he wants badly. She tells him she drove from the valley and left her car with the valet. She’s here for the weekend but he wonders if she’s ready to go. She says she doesn’t want to party anymore since her other man can’t even afford the seats on the floor. He doesn’t believe her and wants to figure her out. However, she’s telling white lies, and he’s not impressed with her. He’s barely sober due to all the white lines and he decides that as long as he’s alive, it’s dead and over.


The song touches on themes of desire, mistrust, drugs and the feeling that a relationship or situation is past its time. The singer is interested in the girl, but he doesn’t trust her due to the lies she tells. He’s tired of the party scene and barely staying sober due to drugs. He’s ready to move on from this situation, hence the repeated phrase ‘dead and over’.


Overall, the song conveys a sense of weariness and disillusionment with a certain lifestyle, and the need to move on from people and situations that are ultimately unsustainable.
