Death Has A Name
Echoes of Redemption: Unveiling the Depths of Despair in 'Death Has A Name'
Lyrics
Downcast is what you said
Expressing a feeling of sadness or disappointment
A nameless boy distressed
Describing a distressed, nameless boy
Lying to myself
Admitting to self-deception
Dull as the knife that's in my hand
Comparing oneself to a dull knife, suggesting a lack of sharpness or vitality
And I can't help the things I've done
Admitting responsibility for past actions
I've waited for this for so long
Expressing anticipation for a long-awaited event or outcome
So come close
Inviting someone to come closer
So come in close
Repeating the invitation to come closer for a deeper understanding
And see inside these fucking bones
Inviting someone to see the inner truth or reality
They called me a waste of space
Recalling derogatory labels received, feeling like a waste of space
A perfect loss
Acknowledging a sense of being a perfect loss
Too far gone now
Acceptance of being too far gone, possibly beyond redemption
Don't you worry
Assuring someone not to worry
You'll hear my name
Confidently asserting that one's name will be remembered
And I can't help the things I've done
Reiterating the admission of responsibility for past actions
I've waited for this for so long
Repeating the anticipation for a long-awaited event or outcome
So come close
Reinviting someone to come closer
So come in close
Reiterating the invitation for a deeper understanding
And see inside these fucking bones
Reiterating the invitation to see inner truth or reality
I don't know who it is or what it's after
Expressing uncertainty about an unidentified entity or purpose
Chalk it up
Suggesting a dismissive attitude, comparing to writing on a chalkboard
Lambs to a slaughter
Metaphorically likening individuals to lambs being led to slaughter
It's what it takes to feel
Stating that undergoing hardships is necessary to feel alive
I feel alive
Expressing a sense of vitality or aliveness
It's what it takes
Reiterating the necessity of facing challenges to feel alive
I feel alive
Repeating the assertion of feeling alive
I feel alive
Emphasizing the intense experience of feeling alive
I feel alive
Repeating the intense feeling of being alive
