Death Of Me

Unlike Pluto's song "Death Of Me" delves into the complex emotions of betrayal, anxiety, and the struggle for personal happiness. The lyrics open with a sense of betrayal, likening it to a poker game where the protagonist's friend has given themselves away. This metaphor sets the tone for the song, highlighting the deceptive nature of relationships and the pain that comes with realizing someone you trusted has betrayed you. The repeated questioning of whether this person is the 'death of me' underscores the deep impact this betrayal has on the protagonist's mental state.

The song then transitions into a vivid depiction of the protagonist's battle with anxiety and depression. The imagery of 'growing roots in my couch' and 'stream my life away' paints a picture of someone who is stuck in a cycle of inactivity and escapism. The mention of 'mold and decay' further emphasizes the stagnation and deterioration of their mental health. The protagonist's coping mechanisms, such as overeating and over-caffeination, are portrayed as futile attempts to manage their stress and anxiety, ultimately leading to a sense of hopelessness.

Despite the overwhelming negativity, there is a glimmer of hope in the lyrics. The protagonist expresses a desire to break free from their mental prison and achieve happiness. The line 'I’m waiting on a miracle' suggests a longing for change and a better future. The resolve to not let these struggles be the 'death of me' indicates a determination to overcome these challenges, even if the path to recovery is uncertain. This song resonates with anyone who has faced similar battles, offering a raw and honest portrayal of the fight against inner demons.
