The Nearly Deads Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Don't let your hard world fall apart
Just because I'm not here
It's not like I'm not comin' back
Not just gonna disappear
I never cheated, never lied
So much to my surprise
And there was never any trust
(Chorus)
Aaaaaa. Aaaaa. Go to sleep and forget about me
In the morning, in the morning, in the morning
(Verse)
I don't remember how we met
The time will tell in a month over here
Because you never let me fly on my own
I stay with you out of fear
(Chorus)
Aaaaaa. Aaaaa. Go to sleep and forget about me
In the morning, in the morning, in the morning
(Instrumental break)
(Bring)
You have a love against the world (?)
And I could kill a lot for (?)
We never really had it all
And I should know that this was not love
(Chorus)
Aaaaaa. Aaaaa. Go to sleep and forget about me
In the morning, in the morning, in the morning
The lyrics to The Nearly Deads' "In The Morning" convey a sense of detachment and disillusionment in a romantic relationship. The singer is addressing their partner, instructing them not to let their "hard world fall apart" just because the singer is not physically present. There is a sense of ambiguity as to why exactly the singer is gone, but they reassure their partner that they will return and make it clear that they have not been unfaithful or deceitful. Despite this, the singer reflects on the fact that their relationship was built on lust rather than trust, highlighting the disconnection between them.
The second verse delves deeper into the strained dynamics of the relationship, suggesting that the singer may have been dependent on their partner for emotional support and may have felt hindered by the relationship. They admit that they cannot recall how they even met, implying that their connection was shallow or forced. The chorus is repeated twice throughout the song, with the singer imploring their partner to "go to sleep and forget about me" and move on from the relationship.
