DEAD END
ZyniC Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
it changed the shape of my heart
with another promise broken
you did your best to tear our love apart
I don't care what your price is
what your good advice is
it will lead in the wrong direction at all
it's always pride before the fall
one last endless ride
I soak your head in gasoline
you won't come home tonight
it will look like suicide
your eyes shine so bright
tell your mom you won't
come home tonight
tomorrow with the tide
it will look like suicide
suicide
got stuck in routine
a year with four seasons fall
we're drifting towards nothing and
it seems that you don't mind at all
I don't care what your price is
what your good advice is
it will lead in the wrong direction at all
I will have the last laugh, babe
it's always pride before the fall
one last endless ride
I soak your head in gasoline
you won't come home tonight
it will look like suicide
your eyes shine so bright
tell your mom you won't
come home tonight
tomorrow with the tide
it will look like suicide
The lyrics in "Dead End" by ZyniC depict a relationship that has hit its breaking point. The song starts with the realization that the singer's heart has been altered by an unexpected event, yet another promise broken by their partner. The partner has attempted to end things between them, but the singer does not care about any advice or price that their partner may suggest. Rather, the singer will have the last laugh and take pride in their own downfall instead of allowing their partner to bring them down.
The second verse delves further into the relationship's decline, as it has gotten stuck in a routine with no end in sight. The singer realizes that they are drifting towards nothing while their partner seems apathetic to the relationship's demise. The chorus returns with a darker tone, as the singer alludes to enacting revenge on their partner. They plan to make it look like their partner has committed suicide, gaining power and control in the situation. The song ends with a chilling repetition of "suicide."
The lyrics in "Dead End" are heavy and are meant to be taken seriously. They describe a toxic relationship that has reached its limit, and the singer is taking a drastic measure to gain power back. The song carries a warning to those who find themselves in damaging relationships, to recognize the warning signs and seek help before it becomes too late.

In a monotonous and unchanging situation

A year is passing and nothing is changing
we're drifting towards nothing and
We are aimlessly moving towards a meaningless existence
it seems that you don't mind at all
You appear to be indifferent to our directionless state

@Dreamcastle100
Amazing song!!
@painterj100
such a catchy tune, twisted.. but catchy, right up my alley.
@ravagedsoul3957
I like how it is so lyrical and in a passive tone when he is talking about killing someone. So relaxing.
@killthebeastofwar
Same here and it took me to realize what it meant by gasoline

@Oerger89
This came on a random playlist while driving at night with my kid, i was stricken with sorrow because his mother and i had just seperated and the voice and melody touched me so much, but i couldnt hear the lyrics because of low volume.
The next day when i heard it again i was so emotionally confused and something was just so wrong
@johnramirez2768
