This Is A Raid
You Love Her Coz She's Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When the night burned with the best you ever had
Then the door breaks down and like "f*ck, this is a raid"
There's a debt of heavy weight on me that's never getting paid
We are the renegades
And for me it's hard with a magical fear in me
That's how we're.
We're never getting paid
The lyrics of "This Is a Raid" by You Love Her Coz She's Dead essentially narrates the story of a love gone wrong, starting out with a nostalgic remembrance of a time when the love was good and passionate. However, things took a turn for the worse and the love eventually became a heavy burden on the singer, represented by the "debt of heavy weight" on him that he knows he can never pay off.
The mention of the door breaking down and the realization that it's a raid gives the song a sense of urgency and danger, adding to the intensity of the lyrics. The chorus of "We are the renegades" further adds to this concept of rebellion and going against the norm.
The second verse talks about the aftermath of the failed relationship, with the singer admitting to struggling with a "magical fear" that has left a "magical tear" in him. This sense of loss and vulnerability is juxtaposed with the previous references to rebellion and nonconformity, tying together the themes of the song in a powerful way.
Overall, the lyrics of "This Is a Raid" paint a vivid picture of a love gone wrong, complete with the highs and lows, danger, and aftermath.

There was a different version of this song which came out before the album version did.
Was on Youtube way back when but I've never been able to find it!
All I remember is that I liked it more than this one. If anyone has any idea what I'm on about, directions to that version would be appreciated!
@youloveher
I will release it in the Patreon (soon)
