Die For You
The Otherwise Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't stop a hurt so real.
Can't kill what I've denied,
There's nothing left to sacrifice.
I stand on solid ground,
Look up from falling down.
There's nothing left unsaid,
I live with no regrets.
I would break, I would burn, I would suffer,
There's nothing I wouldn't do, do for you.
I would lie, I would steal, for no other,
You make me feel so alive,
So alive I'd die for you!
There's nothing left to hide,
Want you to see inside.
For me, there is no doubt,
My heart is yours, so rip it out!
I don't expect you to understand this,
I'll take what you give, but I won't take it for granted.
I feel so alive, I could die!
I would break, I would burn, I would suffer,
There's nothing I wouldn't do, do for you.
I would lie, I would steal, for no other,
You make me feel so alive,
So alive I'd die for you!
Take my heart, just rip it out! Rip it out!
Take my heart, just rip it out! Rip it out!
I would break, I would burn, I would suffer,
There's nothing I wouldn't do, do for you.
I would lie, I would steal, for no other,
You make me feel so alive. (So alive)
I would break, I would burn, I would suffer,
There's nothing I wouldn't do, do for you.
I would lie, I would steal, for no other,
You make me feel so alive,
So alive I'd die for you!
Take my heart, just rip it out! Rip it out!
Take my heart, just rip it out! Rip it out!
The Otherwise's song "Die For You" is a touching declaration of love and devotion, portraying the lengths that the singer would go for his beloved. The lyrics depict a sense of intensity towards the love interest which can hardly be tamed. As the artist sings these lines, "Can't kill the way I feel, Can't stop a hurt so real. Can't kill what I've denied, There's nothing left to sacrifice." the listener gets a sense of how deep-rooted the artist's feelings are for their lover.
The singer describes the feeling of being so alive, that they would die for the person they love. They also mention that they would do everything in their power, including breaking, burning, stealing, and lying, just to express their love towards their lover. The lyrics also mention that for the singer, there is nothing else left to hide; they want their love interest to know everything about them, and that their heart belongs to their lover, which they are willing to sacrifice for.
The song transcends the traditional expression of love and takes a unique approach to how someone can show their love for another person. It can be seen as a rather dark take on devotion and passion, showcasing how far one can go for love. The song also touches on the idea that the love the singer has may not be entirely understood by the recipient, which could suggest that the love interest may not reciprocate those same feelings. However, this does not stop the artist from doing all they can for them.
