Favorite song: Asking Alexandria - The Death Of Me

"The Death Of Me"

Am I insane?
I ask myself over and over and over again
Trapped in my brain
Pull it out from the cracks in my skull
Am I alone?
Surrounded by shadows
I think I might just be suffocating

The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there.

Am I insane?
Am I insane?
Am I insane?

The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there.[Chorus]
I won't let you be the death of me
No I refuse to let you bring me down
Bring me down
I won't let you make me out to be
The one who's in the wrong
And I've lost my mind before
But now I'm back
And I'm better than ever.

Am I insane?
I've rolled myself over
And screamed till I spit up blood
Trapped in my brain
The itching is incomprehensible and it won't stop

Am I alone?
The voices who lie but they just won't fucking go away

The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there.

Am I insane?
Am I insane?
Am I insane?

Am I alone surrounded by death?
I think this might just be the end

Am I insane?
Am I insane?
Am I insane?

The devil came to take me to hell
But I'm already there.

You can't take this away from me
You can't relieve these demons
You can't make this OK for me
You're the one who caused these feelings

I apologize for what I'm about to do
I try to sympathize
But at the end of the day
You brought this on yourself[Chorus]
I won't let you be the death of me
No I refuse to let you bring me down
Bring me down
I won't let you make me out to be
The one who's in the wrong
And I've lost my mind before
But now I'm back
And I'm better than ever
Now I'm back
And I'm better than ever

The tears
Have left a blur
That I can't explain
The pain
Has left a hole
In which my heart should've been

I'm blind with rage
And I can't shake this feeling
Irrational
Impetuous
Intemperate

I'm blind with rage
And I can't shake this feeling
Irrational
Impetuous
Intemperate

I won't let you be the death of me
I refuse to let you bring me down
Bring me down
I won't let you make me out to be
The one who's in the wrong
And I lost my mind before
But I'm back and I'm better than ever

Analysis: This is my favorite song because I feel it's one of the bands most inspirational songs. The lead singer, Danny Worsnop, had a drug problem and bounced around from alcohol, to cocaine, to heroin, to pills. In the music video the girls represent the tempting drugs; The brunette represents heroin, the red head represents alcohol, the white corset girl represents cocaine, and the last one represents pills. The little boy represents Danny at a younger age being tempted by so many drugs, and then finally giving in to them. "I wont let you be the death of me, no I refuse to let you bring me down, I wont let you make me out to be the one who's in the wrong cause I've lost my mind before and now I'm back and better than ever" is kind of Danny's way of saying he wont let the drugs control his life, and even though he's slipped up and got addicted to drugs, he wont let it ruin his life or allow himself to become dependable on them again. For other band members its more of a message for the haters of the band to let them no that no matter what they say its not gonna break them down. And how I interpret the song and how it's applied to my life is I've gone through a lot of shit with my family, drug addiction, backstabbing friends, people in general giving me shit for no reason, etc... But how I see it and why I love it, is because it's encouraging to me the same way it is to Danny, about the drugs, but it's also saying to everyone in my family who's ever put me down, to anyone who's ever bullied me, to all my ex's that have made me feel like shit, and to all the people that wanna talk shit or start shit or stir drama, this song is saying you wont break me down, and I may have slipped but I'm still standing so FUCK YOU ALL. No matter how bad things get I always remember that It's not a bad life, Its just a bad day...And like everyday, even if it seems to drag on for a while, it eventually passes just like every hard time.
