The story behind the song

This song is the opening track from the album Drones, setting the stage for its overarching narrative. It describes the moment a protagonist loses hope and becomes "Dead Inside," making them vulnerable to dark forces that emerge later in the story. Rolling Stone described the song as a "relationship horror song," where the tumultuous end of a relationship is transformed into a funky pop song. It plays like the emotional core of a journey into vulnerability and eventual overcoming.

[Intro]

Dead inside

Bm D

Revere a million prayers

A Bm

And draw me into the holiness

But there's nothing there

Light only shines

From those who share

Bm D

Unleash a million drones

A Bm

And confine me then erase me babe

Do you have no soul

It's like it died

Long ago

[Chorus]

Your lips feel warm to the touch

You can bring me back to life

On the outside you're ablaze and alive

But you're dead inside

[Guitar Solo]

(x2)

[Verse]

Bm D

You're free to touch the sky

A Bm

Whilst I am crushed and pulverised

Because you need control

A Bm

Now I'm the one letting go

You like to give an inch

A Bm

Whilst I am giving infinity

But now I've got nothing left

You have no cares

And I'm bereft

Your skin feels warm to caress

I see magic in your eyes

On the outside your ablaze and alive

But you're dead inside

Don't leave me out to die

I gave you everything

I can't give you anymore

A G

Now I've become just like you

[Chorus]

F# Bm

My lips feel warm to the touch

A G

But my words seem so alive

F# Bm

My skin is warm to caress

A G

I'll control and hypnotise

You've taught me to lie without a trace

A G

and to kill with no remorse

F# Em G

On the outside I'm the greatest guy

Now I'm dead inside
