Even If It Kills Me

THE DAY I DIE

"Angel in the Dark", the song conveys a sense of inevitability and intimacy with one’s darker side. It’s about confronting what lies beneath the surface—whether it’s shame, desire, or truth—and recognizing that it shapes who you are. The repeated call to "call me" is an invitation to accept this duality rather than fight it, even if it comes at a cost.

[Verse 1]
Call my name when the world’s asleep
In the quiet where shadows creep
Only the night can hear your cries
Only the dark sees through your lies

[Pre-Chorus]
You’ll never walk alone
I’m the chill inside your tone

[Chorus]
(Call me) Angel in the dark
(Call me) Whisper in your spark
(Call me) When your heart turns cold
I’ll be the secret you still hold

(Call me) Serpent in the flame
(Call me) You know my name
When you’re lost in the night
I’ll be your hunger, your fire, your light

[Verse 2]
In the daylight, I wear your face
In your shadow, I leave no trace
The hunter’s born from the prey you knew
Now every road leads back to you

[Pre-Chorus]
You’ll never walk alone
I’m the ache inside your bones

[Chorus]
(Call me) Angel in the dark
(Call me) Whisper in your spark
(Call me) When your heart turns cold
I’ll be the secret you still hold

(Call me) Serpent in the flame
(Call me) You know my name
When you’re lost in the night
I’ll be your hunger, your fire, your light

[Bridge]
You can run but I remain
Blood and shadow, soul and stain
I’m the breath inside your prayer
Say my name — I’m always there

No salvation, no release
I am pleasure, I am peace
You were mine before the spark
You belong to the angel in the dark

[Final Chorus]
Angel in the dark
Whisper in your spark
When your heart turns cold
I’ll be the secret you still hold

(Call me) Serpent in the flame
You know my name
When you’re lost in the night
I’ll be your hunger, your fire, your light

[Outro]
(Call me...)
Angel in the dark...
(Call me...)
You know my name...

------------------------

Summer is hard and full of temptation
A season where the haves have it better than ever
A season where the lonely break into pieces
I can't deal with it, seeing her just tears me apart
She's laughing in the sun with someone new
While I'm watching from the shadows, nothing I can do

Out of my depth and out of my reach
Gave up on the swiping, but I don't care
But I'd rather die alone than be another number in a vicious cycle
I choose my suffering over being a number

It's a mess
Ten years on the screen and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death

Years of swiping, years of hope
Years of messages that helped me cope
Until the silence came, until they disappeared
Into someone else's bed, someone else's dreams
The pattern never breaks, it just repeats
Another face, another ghost, another heart that beats
For anyone but me

It's a mess
Ten years on those things and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death

The ones at the top of the pyramid will always get it good
At the expense of what?
All those begging for a chance
They get the matches, we get the silence
They get the dates, we get the violence
It's a sick world
Built on our loneliness

God save me from myself
Save me from the temptation
Save me from the pain
I'm praying for a way out
If there's a way
God save me from myself
Save me from the summer
Save me

It's a mess
Ten years on those things and the story is always the same
There's always another option
There's always something better in their eyes
That's the illusion of choice
The illusion of death
When nothing's ever enough

Bring on the summer time
Bring on the summer time
Bring on the heat that burns
Bring on the truth that hurts
Bring on the summer time
I'll face it alone
Bring on the summer time
I choose my suffering

Illusion of Death

The Great Unknown

Say It Again (feat. The Rasmus)

Outrun the Grave

The core message emphasizes the importance of purposeful speech and the wisdom of restraint. The lyrics suggest that silence is not just an absence of sound but a powerful space for reflection and clarity. Speaking should be reserved for words that carry weight, truth, and impact—words that are "worth the silence." The song critiques the tendency to fill space with meaningless noise and instead advocates for thoughtful expression that breaks through the "shadow" of superficiality. The rap verse and bridge reinforce this by highlighting the responsibility of words and the strength found in pausing to ensure what is said matters. Ultimately, the song encourages listeners to embrace silence as a source of wisdom and to speak only when their words can truly resonate and endure.
