Limerent Death
The Dillinger Escape Plan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Deep inside, you're still a son of a bitch
Mistakes forever haunt you
A lie to persecute you
So thoroughly, it's giving you fits
It's giving you fits!
In your world, make believe
Hold your breath
Count to ten
Bare hands to a vacant
Glass
That nothing can hope to ever fill
When movement ceases, and
Everything is still
I thought that time was frozen
Instead my resting state
I thought we'd be forever
What was I to say?
Oh! You were never alone
You just didn't know
Where to fucking go
But who will hear you fall
If no one's there at all?
Do you (Are you okay?)
Feel fine? (Do you wake up smiling?)
Do you (Do you feel alright?)
Feel fine? (Are you always shining?)
Do you
Feel fine?
Do you
Feel fine?
Do you wake up smiling?
I'm amazed at how you reinforce your guard cause
Deep inside, you're still a son of a bitch
Mistakes forever haunt you
A lie to persecute you
So thoroughly, it's giving you fits, it's giving you fits
Giving you fits
Giving you
Fits
Giving you fits giving you fits giving you fits giving you fits
I gave you everything you wanted
You were everything to me
I gave you everything you wanted
And you were everything to me
I gave you everything you wanted you were everything to me
I gave you everything you wanted you were everything to me
I gave you everything you wanted you were everything to me
I gave you everything you wanted you were everything to me
I gave you everything you wanted you were everything to me
I gave you everything you wanted you were everything to me
I gave you everything you wanted you were everything to me
I gave you everything you wanted you were everything to me
I gave you everything you wanted you were everything to me
I gave you
In your world, make believe
In your world, no one loves you!
The first verse of "Limerent Death" seems to suggest an inner turmoil or struggle with one's self. The subject of the song appears to be putting up a guard to protect themselves, but the singer understands that deep down they are still flawed. The second stanza refers to mistakes that "haunt" the subject and a lie that is persecuting them. It's possible that these mistakes and lies are related to the inner turmoil mentioned earlier.
The chorus of the song is particularly interesting, as it seems to shift perspective. The singer asks a series of questions, seemingly directed at the subject of the song. They ask if the subject is okay, if they feel fine, and if they wake up smiling. These questions could suggest a concern for the subject's well-being or a frustration at the subject's inability to be honest about how they feel.
The final verse brings the song full circle, repeating the lyrics from the beginning. However, the last line is changed from "no one loves you" to "no one loves you!" The addition of an exclamation point suggests a possible shift in tone from pity to frustration or anger towards the subject.

I'm amazed at how you reinforce your guard cause
You put up a guard to protect yourself
Deep inside, you're still a son of a bitch
You have negative qualities that you try to hide
Mistakes forever haunt you
You are haunted by past errors
A lie to persecute you
Someone has lied to make you a victim

You live in a fantasy world
No one loves you

Hold your breath
Take a moment to calm down
Count to ten
Take a moment to calm down
Bare hands to a vacant Glass
You are left with nothing
That nothing can hope to ever fill
You feel unfulfilled
When movement ceases, and Everything is still
When everything calms down and you're alone with your thoughts
I thought that time was frozen
You thought your problems were stuck in time
Instead my resting state
You are not at peace
I thought we'd be forever
You thought your problems would never end
What was I to say?
You don't know what to do
Oh! You were never alone
Someone was always there for you
You just didn't know Where to fucking go
You didn't know where to turn for help
But who will hear you fall
There might be nobody to help you when you need it
If no one's there at all?
If you're completely alone

Repeating our previous observation
I gave you everything you wanted You were everything to me
You have given your all to someone
In your world, make believe
In your world, no one loves you!
Repeating the earlier observation, which still stands true

I'm amazed at how you'll reinforce your guard cause deep inside you're still a son a bitch
Mistakes forever haunt you, a lie to persecute you
So thoroughly it's giving you fits, it's giving you fits
In your world, make believe, no one knows you
Hold your breath, count to ten
Staring through a vacant glass that nothing can hope to ever fill
When movement ceases and everything is still
I thought that time was frozen, instead my resting state
I thought we'd be forever, what was I to say
You were never alone, you just didn't know where to fucking go
But who will hear you fall, if no one's there at all
(Do you feel fine) are you a-okay
Do you wake up smiling?
(Do you feel fine) do you feel alright
Are you always shining
Do you feel fine
Do you feel fine
Do you wake up smiling
I'm amazed at how you'll reinforce your guard cause deep inside you're still a son a bitch

I'm amazed at how you reinforce your guard
Cause deep inside, you're still a son of a bitch!
Mistakes forever haunt you, malign I persecute you
So thoroughly it's giving you fits
In your world, make believe no one knows you
Hold your breath, count to ten
Peering through a vacant glass that nothing could hope to ever fill
When movement ceases, and everything is still
I thought that time was frozen
Instead my resting state
I thought we'd be forever what was I to say?
You were never alone you just didn't know
Where to fucking go
But who will hear you fall if no one's there at all?
Are you a-okay?
Do you wake up smiling?
Do you feel alright?
Are you always shining?
Do you feel fine? Do you wake up smiling?
I gave you everything you wanted
You were everything to me
In your world make believe
In your world no one loves you!

I'm 59, only discovered DEP about 5 years ago from a 17 year old kid I worked with. Never saw them live and now I guess I won't. This song is one of my favorites.

Appreciate that, Mike
@coloripple
thats awesome! I'm just starting to listen to them. Have you heard of the band Car Bomb? that might give you a kick aswell!
@dapunkof1975
One of the most consistent bands of all time. They've stuck to their guns with their sound and never compromised.
@ghiblinerd6196
I definitely wouldn’t call them consistent. They’ve made lots of songs that are very different than previous ones they’ve written. Now ac/dc, madball, hatebreed and Aerosmith…THEY are consistent in that all their songs sound the same.
@YahNation
I always loved this song since it came out.
