Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

(My Hero)
It's a dead end
Guess it's downhill from here
Everything has been so weird
(So weird)
I guess it all depends
Where do we go from here
After the feelings you had for me disappeared
(Disappeared)
It doesn't make sense
How were you so scared
When I been crying so long
I had no more tears
(No more tears)
I've been tearing up so long
My eyes are drying out
From your perspective
I have nothing I should cry about-t-t-t
You think you're the only one who put in work
And everything I'm feeling is what I deserve
Meanwhile you can't tell how much I've been hurt
Because this whole time I've been putting you first
This ain't a love spell
This more like a curse
And everything you telling me is making it worse
It's a dead end
Guess it's downhill from here
Everything has been so weird
(So weird)
I guess it all depends
Where do we go from here
After the feelings you had for me disappeared
(Disappeared)
It doesn't make sense
How were you so scared
When I been crying so long
I had no more tears
(No more tears)
Yeah it's a dead end
Everybody looking for a friend now
We've been through it
But I'm tryna comprehend how
I've been tryna mend it
Buying cases of fasters
We been through the ringer
Now the time's running out
Piece it together and going back to where we first met
Looking for pleasure and lying with you in the dead end
It's an adventure
I'm gonna love you till we're finished
We can pretend it's not a dead-dead
It's a dead end
Guess it's downhill from here
(Stuck in the dead end)
Everything has been so weird
(So weird)
I guess it all depends
Where do we go from here
(Where do we go)
After the feelings you had for me disappeared
(Disappeared)
And it doesn't make sense
How were you so scared
When I been crying so long




I had no more tears no tears
(No more tears)

Overall Meaning

In LVL's song "Dead," the lyrics express the feeling of being at a dead-end in a relationship. The tone of the song is melancholic, with a reflective and introspective attitude towards the past and the present situation. The song speaks to a sense of detachment and confusion about the current state of the relationship.


The first verse, "It's a dead end, guess it's downhill from here," illustrates the feeling of hopelessness and resignation. The singer is acknowledging that the relationship has reached a point of no return and that there is no way to salvage it. "Everything has been so weird" is a reference to the confusing nature of the relationship and the mixed signals that have been sent, leading to a sense of unease and uncertainty.


The second verse continues this theme of confusion, "How were you so scared when I've been crying so long? I had no more tears." The singer is suggesting that they have invested lots of emotion into the relationship, and it's not apparent why the other person was so reluctant about their feelings. However, the other person's feelings for the singer have disappeared, and this realization has been hard to come to terms with.


In the chorus, "It's a dead end, everything has been so weird, I guess it all depends where do we go from here after the feelings you had for me disappeared." The chorus is a repeat of the opening lines, and it sums up the overall feeling of the song. The relationship has hit a breaking point, and there is no clear path forward, and the singer is left feeling disoriented and stranded.


The final verse sees the singer analyzing the relationship, "We've been through it, but I'm tryna comprehend how." They have been trying to hang onto the connection, buying cases of flowers, but with time running out, the singer returns to the place where they first met. The song ends with an attempt to redefine the relationship, "I'm gonna love you till we're finished, we can pretend it's not dead-dead."
