Dying
The Hole Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

You see the cripple dance
Pay your money, baby
Now's your chance
Eyes like cyanide

I am so dumb
Just beam me up
I've had it all forever

I've had enough

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

Our love is quicksand
So easy to drown
They steal the gravity, yeah
From moving ground

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

And now I understand
You leave with everything
You leave with everything I am
Withering

And now I know that love is dead
You've come to bury me
There's nothing left here to pretend
Anything

Remember, you promised me
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I want to, I need to be
Under your skin

I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I'm dying, I'm dying, please
Under your skin

Under your skin

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Dying" by The Hole deal with themes of slipping away, love gone wrong, desperation, and the desire to be close to someone even in death. The first two lines describe a cripple dancing, suggesting that even those with limitations can find joy and opportunity, possibly implying the desperation to escape from one's own limitations. The use of cyanide imagery in the third line casts a dark, ominous tone to the song as cyanide is a deadly poison.

The singer then declares "I am so dumb, just beam me up," showing a sense of resignation and a desire to escape from it all. The juxtaposition of the line "I've had it all forever, I've had enough" seems to indicate a sense of disillusionment and numbness. The chorus, "Remember, you promised me, I'm dying, I'm dying, please, I want to, I need to be, under your skin" reveals the desperation of the singer to possess somebody, to be so close to them that there is no space or distance between them.

The second verse talks about love being quicksand, which is easy to drown in. The line "They steal the gravity, yeah, from moving ground" is enigmatic and could perhaps mean that others try to take away the foundation of the singer's feelings, leaving them unstable and ungrounded. The third verse reveals that the singer understands that love is now dead and the person they love has come to bury them. The lines "There's nothing left here to pretend, anything" show the finality of the situation, and the manner in which the intensity of the singer's desire has left them feeling at the mercy of the object of their desire.

Line by Line Meaning

You see the cripple dance
Watch the weak and vulnerable pretend to be strong and capable

Pay your money, baby
Give whatever you have in exchange for what appears to be love and attention

Now's your chance
Take advantage of the opportunity to feel wanted

Eyes like cyanide
The look of poison, destruction, and danger

I am so dumb
I am foolish and naive in believing in this love

Just beam me up
Get me out of this situation, take me away from this pain and heartache

I've had it all forever
I've experienced this before, it's a repeated cycle of hurt and disappointment

I've had enough
I can't take the pain and disappointment anymore

Remember, you promised me
Don't forget the vow you made to me, the commitment you promised to uphold

I'm dying, I'm dying, please
I'm begging for help, for love, for something to hold onto

I want to, I need to be
I desire to be close to you, to feel your love and affection

Under your skin
To be a part of you, to be so deeply connected that we are inseparable

Our love is quicksand
Our passion and emotion is dangerous and can easily pull us under and drown us

So easy to drown
It's effortless to get lost in the intensity of our relationship and lose sight of what's important

They steal the gravity, yeah
Outside forces and distractions rob us of what keeps us grounded and centered

From moving ground
From the foundation that we build our love on

And now I understand
I finally comprehend the painful truth of our relationship

You leave with everything
You take away all of me, leaving nothing behind

You leave with everything I am
You take everything that makes me who I am, leaving me empty and broken

Withering
I am slowly decaying and fading away

And now I know that love is dead
I've come to the dismal realization that our love has perished

You've come to bury me
You've arrived to put an end to me, to destroy what's left of me

There's nothing left here to pretend
There's no more facade, no more pretending that everything is okay

Anything
There's nothing left to hold onto, nothing worth fighting for
