Hell
Boy Epic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You see my face in your dreams
And all that's left of me
Is the cold spot on your sheets
Excuse me miss
But can I say that I miss your legs
And the way they wrapped around me
Always a perfect fit
That's right.
I put myself through hell
To keep you to myself
She said
Don't put yourself through hell
You know very well
You walk around this town
With your heart foaming out your mouth
She stands there shameless
With the cherry glow of a cigarette
And believe me kid
If you taste her lips
They'll pull you in like medicine
Now excuse me while I swerve
She's hypnotherapy with the curves
She's got me right where she wants me
Now isn't that just absurd
How I'm right back in the thirst
She's got me on all fours crawling
And I said.
I put myself through hell
To keep you to myself
She said
Don't put yourself through hell
You know very well
You walk around this town
With your heart foaming out your mouth
I put myself through hell to keep you to myself
I put myself through hell to keep you to myself
I put myself through hell
To keep you to myself
She said
Don't put yourself through hell
You know very well
You walk around this town
With your heart foaming out your mouth
The lyrics in Boy Epic's song "Hell" tell the story of a man who is deeply in love with a woman who has clearly moved on. He acknowledges that despite her having moved on, she still haunts his dreams, and he can't escape the memories of her. He describes her legs and the way they felt wrapped around him as if they were puzzle pieces underneath a blanket. The man is clearly still infatuated by her and her spell, despite her not giving him the same attention back.
The woman, later on, tells him that he is walking around town with his heart foaming out of his mouth - in other words, he is being too open about his deep feelings towards her. She is shameless, smoking a cigarette, and tells him that if he kisses her, she'll pull him in like medicine; however, she is also warning him not to put himself through hell for her, knowing that she won't reciprocate his feelings.
The man, despite his reservations and feelings of heartbreak, finds himself drawn back to the woman and crawling on all fours in submission. The repetition of the line "I put myself through hell to keep you to myself" highlights the man's desperation to hold on to the relationship, which has since fizzled out. Overall, the song is a reflection of the highs and lows of love and the power struggle that can exist in relationships.

There will come a day when
In the future, you will dream about me
You see my face in your dreams
I will haunt your dreams
And all that's left of me
I will leave a lasting impression on you
Is the cold spot on your sheets
My absence will be felt and leave a void
Excuse me miss
Pardon me, but
But can I say that I miss your legs
May I express that I miss being entwined with you
And the way they wrapped around me
Your legs hugged me perfectly
Always a perfect fit
We were meant to be together
Like puzzle pieces beneath your blanket
We fit together seamlessly
That's right.
Indeed.
I put myself through hell
I suffered greatly
To keep you to myself
To make you mine
She said
But she told me that
Don't put yourself through hell
Do not torment yourself
You know very well
You are fully aware
You walk around this town
You move around this place
With your heart foaming out your mouth
Your emotions are overflowing from your words
She stands there shameless
She is bold without guilt or shame
With the cherry glow of a cigarette
Holding a lit cigarette in her hand
And believe me kid
And trust me, young one
If you taste her lips
If you kiss her
They'll pull you in like medicine
They will have an addictive effect
Now excuse me while I swerve
Pardon me while I change topics
She's hypnotherapy with the curves
Her curves are hypnotic
She's got me right where she wants me
She has complete control over me
Now isn't that just absurd
Isn't that ridiculous?
How I'm right back in the thirst
How I am once again drawn to her
She's got me on all fours crawling
She has reduced me to a vulnerable state
I put myself through hell to keep you to myself
I went through torment to have you all to myself
I put myself through hell
I suffered greatly
To keep you to myself
To make you mine
She said
But she told me that
Don't put yourself through hell
Do not torment yourself
You know very well
You are fully aware
You walk around this town
You move around this place
With your heart foaming out your mouth
Your emotions are overflowing from your words

@vetamanda1331
Its nice to see an artist who occasionally comments on their music and truly wants to share their soul with like-minded others and not just try to get rich.
@sparklevampFTW
There's so much symbolism in this, I love it. The whole two sides tearing him apart thing, the parallel towards his Say Something cover, the fact that its all a dream. Its beautiful and artistic and its so great to see Boy Epic going outside what we're comfortable with from him. This video and song is raw and has no inhibitions, and its really just fucking fantastic.
@kikikelly7398
Does he write his own music...lyrics especially....brilliant
@boyepic
I do I do
@kikikelly7398
I am OBSESSED with WICKED...the lyrics are fantastic,,"She's got that devil touch, apocalyptic lust..swear I'm not a sinner just beautifully broken..." fandamntastic..today I was blaring it on my ride home on repeat, when I came to a red light there was already a car stopped next to me with two girls, they actually followed me to the store wanting to know who I was playing (and I'm in TN)..that key he goes into at "unbury me" lost for words I am... and I'm a freelance writer!!! I actually think he should drop boy and just go by Epic!!!
@DRJ1127
