Lullaby Of A Deadman
Treyarch Sound Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your end, my beginning
And everything I hope for has been strangely set aside
Breathing for living
My mind is forgiving
And destiny is proving to be absent from my life
I know it, I feel it
I know the things you're dreaming
And I know you will never give up and die
Conscious fulfilling, the darkness revealing
All faults and insecurities are shining like the sun
Eyes are decieving
Your mind will stop breathing and
All that you are made of will now rightly become mine
You know it, you feel it
I know when you're sleeping
I know the things you're dreaming
I love it when you're weeping
Even death can't stop this feeling
And I know you won't give up and die
Father, why have you forsaken me?
My life is gone
Father, know how long it's taken me?
I live again
I know when you're sleeping
I know the things you're dreaming
I know when you're sleeping
I know the things you're dreaming
I love when you're weeping
Even death can't stop this feeling
I know when you're sleeping
I know the things you're dreaming
I love when you're weeping
Even death can't stop this feeling
And I know you will never give up
No, you will never give up
"Lullaby of a Deadman" is a song about a person who has lost everything in life and is left with nothing but his breathing. The singer is clinging to the idea that destiny might bring something good into his life but has come to a realization that nothing might happen. The lyrics speak about the duality of life, that when one person is at the beginning of their life, another may be reaching their end. Despite this, the singer knows everything about the person they are singing to, even their sleeping and dreaming habits.
The chorus reveals a sense of dark and twisted attachment to the person being sung to. The darkness revealing all of their faults and insecurities like the shining sun, and all that the person is made of will be the singer's. The wordplay here suggests that the singer will be everything that the listener thought they were made of. The second verse talks about the deception of the eyes, and how the mind stops breathing, making all the insecurities the person had come to light, and the singer claims it all as theirs. The bridge of the song reveals a change in perspective, where the singer is asking their father why they have forsaken them. However, they live again, and the song ends on a hopeful and never-give-up attitude.
