To Death
The Rough and The Velvet Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Won’t play your game
Won’t change my mind
I’m not that kind
You’re the one to blame
It will never be the same
With all your shit talking
With all your built up lies
You woke up You woke up You woke up drowning
With all the souls you hurt
With all your betrayals
And all your denials
You woke up You woke up You woke up biting the dirt
Don't scream my name
Won’t play your game
Won’t change my mind
I’m not that kind
You’re the one to blame
It will never be the same
Creeping up from behind
With malicious intentions
Threatening with vengeance
You'll end up You'll end up You'll end up confined
When all hope is gone
Who will you turn to
You burned all the bridges around you
You'll end up You'll end up You'll end up staring at the gun
Don't scream my name
Won’t play your game
Won’t change my mind
I’m not that kind
You’re the one to blame
It will never be the same
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow

The singer refuses to engage in the games and lies of their partner, asserting their independence and refusing to be swayed. They place the blame on their partner for the deterioration of the relationship, emphasizing the hurt and betrayal caused by their actions. The chorus repeats the refrain of not playing the partner's game and not changing their mind, reinforcing their resolve to detach themselves from the toxic dynamics.
The second verse introduces a sense of threat and impending consequences. The partner is portrayed as someone with malicious intentions, who threatens the singer with vengeance. The lyrics suggest that the partner will ultimately be confined or trapped by their own actions. The bridge further emphasizes the partner's loss of hope and the consequences of their behavior. They find themselves isolated and alone, with no one to turn to, having burned bridges with their manipulative behavior. The song concludes with the repetitive lines, "Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow," symbolizing the partner's journey into a dark and lonely existence.
Overall, "To Death" portrays a toxic relationship where one person refuses to be controlled or manipulated by their partner, recognizing the destructive patterns and the need to break free from the toxicity.

When all hope is gone
In the absence of any optimism
Who will you turn to

You burned all the bridges around you
You have severed all your connections and relationships
You'll end up You'll end up You'll end up staring at the gun
You will eventually face a life-threatening situation
Walking through the realms of death you will pursue your shadow
As you traverse the realm of danger, you will relentlessly chase after your own darkness

If that snake ornament was real gold it would have been so heavy and very hard to lift
@deeovery4352
The giant snake that was inside of the tree is a Reticulated Python. Not Anaconda.
@Gloria-ro4vn
Not, the brightest bulb in the pack is he. He even got the Continent wrong, Anacondas are only found in Central and South America. LOL

That snake is a boa constrictor
@Gloria-ro4vn
Close, Reticulated Python, bigger, meaner and more ill tempered. Wonder if someone should tell these guys you only find Anacondas in Southern and Central America,
