Dead Man Lyrics – Alessia Cara
Dead Men Lyrics
(Verse 1)
Thought you said you were in love, so why the sad face?
I don’t ask for much, just that you meet me halfway
Faith is not enough to float above a bad wave
We’re gonna drown, we’re going down
And you’re letting this fade
(Pre-Chorus)
Thank your lucky stars I’m creative
All the precious life I wasted
Comin’ up with ways to save us
But it might be way too late for that
(Chorus)
If you really care
Then why am I feeling you just
Slippin’ through my hands?
If you’re really there
Then why can I walk right through ya?
Talkin’ to a dead man
(Verse 2)
I got no excuse for thinkin’ I could fix it ya
You leave me hangin’ just ’cause you don’t get the picture
No matter how nice I paint it (Don’t change)
No matter the way I frame it (You’re too late)
There’s no easy way to say it
You’re about to lose me now
(Pre-Chorus)
Thank your lucky stars I’m creative
All the precious life I wasted
Comin’ up with ways to save us
But it might be way too late for that
(Chorus)
If you really care
Then why am I feeling you just
Slippin’ through my hands?
If you’re really there
Then why can I walk right through ya?
Talkin’ to a dead man
(Post-Chorus)
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, ta-ta-talkin’ to a dead man
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, ta-ta-talkin’ to a dead man
(Chorus)
If you really care
Then why am I feeling you just
Slippin’ through my hands?
If you’re really there
Then why can I walk right through ya?
Talkin’ to a dead man
(Post-Chorus)
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, ta-ta-talkin’ to a dead man
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, ta-ta-talkin’ to a dead man
About “Dead Men”
“Dead Man” is a song by Canadian singer Alessia Cara. The song was written by Alessia Cara (Alessia Caracciolo) and Mike Elizondo, and produced by Mike Elizondo. “Dead Man” was released on July 19, 2024 through Def Jam Recordings, a division of UMG Recordings, Inc.
“Dead Man” is a song about the emotional disconnect and frustration in a relationship that seems to be falling apart. The lyrics reflect the feelings of trying to save the relationship, feeling unheard and unseen, and ultimately realizing that the efforts might be futile. The chorus emphasizes the sense of communicating with someone who isn’t truly present, likening it to talking to a “dead man,” and the song’s repeated post-chorus enhances the haunting, repetitive nature of this realization.
