Doomed Lyrics – Ekoh, Phix

[Verse 1]
We know we’re destined to fail but, hell, we still try
We’re caught in a viscous cycle, we can’t survive
It’s so hard, there’s no spark (So why you keep bringing it up?)
It’s so dark, these broke hearts (So why you keep digging ’em up?)
Don’t hold your breath because you’ll suffocate from trying
It hurts me that it happened all too soon

[Chorus]
But you and I are doomed
There’s nothing we can do
I’ll make you pay for everything you ever put me through
And I ain’t playing games when I know that I’ll lose
I won’t let you break me off, this pain to take me soon
‘Cause you and I are doomed
You and I are doomed

[Verse 2]
Yeah, you been killing me, never know who you really be
Beating me down, but still, I be begging for you to show me love
I can’t put up, It’s treating me like a puppet
I’m sick of all of the drama, I’m cutting the strings that hold me up
B-b-but it must be insane
‘Cause every time we come across the same go but we stay
Keep it running till we’re lost and all the energy drained
We’ve been doomed since the day I was attracted to you, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
You tear me open no matter what I do
We’re still hopeless

[Chorus]
You and I are doomed
There’s nothing we can do
I’ll make you pay for everything you ever put me through
And I ain’t playing games when I know that I’ll lose
I won’t let you break me off, this pain to take me soon
‘Cause you and I are doomed
[Bridge]
At first you were all I need, but you turned into a stranger
And the shadows can’t break free ’cause you put my life in danger
And it’s getting hard to breathe, I should find shelter where it’s safer
My anxiety, it screams that you and I are doomed
You and I are doo-oo-oo-oomed
(You and I are doomed)
(There’s nothing we can do-ooh)
(I’ll make you– make you pay for everything, everything, every–)

[Chorus]
You and I are doomed
There’s nothing we can do
I’ll make you pay for everything you’ve ever put me through
And I ain’t playing games when I know that I’ll lose
I won’t let you break me off, this pain to take me soon
‘Cause you and I are doomed
(‘Cause you and I are doomed)
(‘Cause you and I are doomed)

[Verse 1]
The first verse reflects the resignation and persistence within a doomed relationship. Despite the awareness of its inevitable failure, the individuals involved continue to strive for something better. The repetition of “It’s so hard, there’s no spark” and “It’s so dark, these broke hearts” underscores the emotional strain and futility of their efforts. The suffocation and pain experienced emphasize the depth of their struggle and the regret for its premature demise.

[Chorus]
The chorus captures the essence of their predicament – acknowledging the inevitability of their doomed relationship. Despite their attempts to salvage it, they realize there’s no escape from the impending downfall. The determination to hold the other accountable for their actions highlights the bitterness and resentment that have permeated their interactions, signaling an acceptance of their fate.

[Verse 2]
In the second verse, the singer expresses the torment inflicted by their partner’s unpredictable behavior. Despite being mistreated, they yearn for affection, feeling trapped like a puppet in a never-ending cycle of drama. The repetition of encountering the same issues despite knowing better illustrates the self-destructive nature of their bond and the draining effect it has on their energy and spirit.

[Pre-Chorus]
The pre-chorus encapsulates the sense of hopelessness and vulnerability that persists despite efforts to protect oneself. Despite trying to shield their emotions, the singer feels exposed and defenseless against the ongoing pain inflicted by their partner, reinforcing the notion of their inevitable demise.

[Chorus]
Repeating the chorus reinforces the central theme of the song – the inescapable fate of their doomed relationship. They reiterate their resolve to confront the consequences of their shared experiences while recognizing the futility of trying to change their fate. The repetition underscores the depth of their resignation and the finality of their situation.

[Bridge]
The bridge delves into the evolution of the relationship from initial promise to eventual disillusionment and danger. The metaphor of shadows symbolizes the darkness and uncertainty that now permeate their connection, suffocating the singer and exacerbating their anxiety. The realization that seeking refuge is necessary underscores the urgency and inevitability of their separation.

[Chorus]
The final chorus serves as a somber acknowledgment of their reality. Despite their efforts to resist, they confront the truth that they are destined to part ways. The repetition of “doo-oo-oo-oomed” emphasizes the depth of their despair, while the resolve to confront their fate together underscores the shared responsibility for their downfall.
