Dead Man Walking Lyrics

I threw my phone out of the window, I'm so over it
Weight on my shoulders, every day another stone to lift
I'm standing at the ledge
My foot's about to slide
What if it takes the fall for me to learn to fly
I try to run from what I've done
And it cost me everyone, all it left me was feeling numb

Sunrise stayed up 'til the morning
Eyes stay bloodshot from the smoking
Another round and I'm locked and loaded
Faith has faded
Living on the edge one foot in the coffin
Lord knows I don't pray too often
Knees down when the devil come calling
Ain't no saving

A dead man walking
A dead man walking

Russian roulette, I swear I don't have many chances left
Know I should change, but man I swear I'd rather dance with death
I'm just a desperate soul
Another broken human
I know some stars are falling
I know some stars are shooting
I get so high
I'm froze in time
Shattered pieces fell on the floor of a heart no longer pure

Sunrise stayed up 'til the morning
Eyes stay bloodshot from the smoking
Another round and I'm locked and loaded
Faith has faded
Living on the edge one foot in the coffin
Lord knows I don't pray too often
Knees down when the devil come calling
Ain't no saving

A dead man walking
A dead man walking

Ain't no saving
(A dead man walking)
(A dead man walking)

I threw my phone out of the window I'm so over it (a dead man walking)
Weight on my shoulders every day another stone to lift (a dead man walking)

Sunrise stayed up 'til the morning
Eyes stay bloodshot from the smoking
Another round and I'm locked and loaded
Faith has faded
Living on the edge one foot in the coffin
Lord knows I don't pray too often
Knees down when the devil come calling
Ain't no saving

A dead man walking
A dead man walking
Ain't no saving
A dead man walking
A dead man walking

What is the Meaning of Dead Man Walking?

This emotional ballad paints a vivid picture of a man grappling with his inner demons. The protagonist is weighed down by past mistakes and struggles to break free from destructive habits, symbolized by the imagery of throwing his phone out the window and playing Russian roulette. He feels like he's on the edge, living in a state of limbo between life and death - hence, a 'dead man walking'. Despite his despair, there's an underlying desire for redemption and change. However, he feels it might be too late for salvation. The song is a poignant exploration of regret, self-destruction, and the desperate search for hope in times of darkness.
