If Looks Could Kill
Unveiling the Dark Emotions: A Day to Remember's 'If Looks Could Kill' Meaning
Lyrics
Something's wrong and it's not me for once
Expressing a sense of something being amiss, but it's not the speaker's fault this time.
And I know you'll call me crazy
Acknowledging the likelihood of being labeled as crazy for the forthcoming thoughts.
But I hate the way you look straight through me
Expressing frustration about feeling unnoticed or ignored by someone.
What have I don't that's so wrong?
Pondering what actions have caused the strained relationship.
Remember me when I'm so far from your reach
Requesting to be remembered even when distanced from the other person.
And then you'll know you had your chance
Implying that the person has missed an opportunity to appreciate the speaker.
Take one more glance, and that's the end of our romance
Indicating that a brief look is the conclusion of their romantic connection.
You've turned your back on me for the last time
Declaring a definitive end to the relationship with the other person.
Remember when we use to be friends?
Reflecting on a past when they were friends and wondering what went wrong.
Nothing could ever go wrong, or so we thought
Recalling a time when everything seemed perfect between them.
But I guess you've changed a lot since we were young
Noting a perceived change in the other person since their youth.
Times will change, and there's nothing I can say to right all of your wrongs
Accepting that times change, and there's no way to rectify the other person's mistakes.
Just grow up, and pray we'll keep in touch
Encouraging the other person to mature and hoping they can stay connected.
You've turned your back on me for the last time
Reiterating the finality of the other person turning away.
I still dream of the day that I watched you choke
Expressing a lingering desire for the satisfaction of seeing the other person suffer.
They'll act like I'm so crazy when they find you dead on my floor
Suggesting that others will view the speaker as crazy when they witness the other person's demise.
Right now
Emphasizing the immediacy of the situation.
Right now
Repeating the urgency of the current moment.
I'd say something went wrong in our lives
Speculating that something went wrong in both their lives.
And I pray that God saves us before we die
Expressing a hope for divine intervention before their potential demise.
He's everything that you could never be
Repetition emphasizing that someone else possesses qualities the speaker finds lacking in the addressed person.
He's everything that you could never be
-He's everything that you could never be
-He's everything that you could never be
-He's everything that you could never be
-He's everything that you could never be
-Right now
Reiteration of the urgent need for intervention from a higher power.
Right now

-I'd say something went wrong in our lives
-And I pray that God saves us before we die
-Slowly die
Concluding with a stark statement about a slow demise.
