“Let it die”, the tenth song on the album transmissions, is about losing a loved one. Whether they actually died as the title suggests or, more likely, ended the relationship the narrator and them shared.
The first option is supported by the lines directly, like “I’ve been looking for a way
To brin...
[Verse 1]
I cut you into pieces
Searching for your imperfections
I had plans to make you whole
But all my threads couldn't stop the bleeding
There's nothing left, but I'm not leaving
When all I know is you
[Chorus]
I've been looking for a way to bring you back to life
And if I could find a way, then I would bring you back tonight
I'd make you look, I'd make you lie
I'd take the coldness from your eyes
But you told me
"If you love me
Let it die"
[Verse 2]
Your eyes stare right through me
Ignoring my failed attempts to
Breathe back life into your veins
But I can't start your cold heart beating
You're so far gone, but I'm not leaving
When all I know is you
[Chorus]
I've been looking for a way to bring you back to life
And if I could find a way, then I would bring you back tonight
I'd make you look, I'd make you lie
I'd take the coldness from your eyes
But you told me
"If you love me
Let it die"
[Bridge]
And you left me
More dead than you'll ever know
When you left me
Alone
[Chorus]
I've been looking for a way to bring you back to life
And if I could find a way, then I would bring you back tonight
I'd make you look, I'd make you lie
I'd take the coldness from your eyes
But you told me
"If you love me
Let it die, let it die
Let it die, let it die"
