Dead man walking - Smiley

It seems as though I haven't reviewed a song in years!!!  Anyways, here it is! :) 
Here is the first song that I reviewed where the singer/artist is Romanian!!! (:

This is a song I really enjoy. I first heard it when I went to Bucharest, Romania in the summer. This is a very interesting song! The beat is amazing and very catchy, and yet if you pay attention to the lyrics, it is sad. The radios played this song (and many other hit songs) non stop! 

The lyrics are sad, but the beat makes up for the sadness. Maybe Smiley wanted to put the happy beat with the sad lyrics to show the girl he's singing about that he is moving on, and that even though his heart is broken, he can still move on. "I said no you said yes" "I said black you said white" It seems to me that the girl was always contradicting the boy and this led to them arguing until one point, she just decided to leave. (I realize I did underline pretty much all of the lyrics, but it is because all are important. The ones that repeat, I left blank because it is understandable the first time). 

"I will go, don't love you no more" --> Here he is saying how he does not love her anymore.Even though he did love her at one point, now the feeling has vanished because of how they would always argue. It is clear to me that the arguing  have indeed been very strong and wonderful and desirable into  made something that could  something weak, negative, and undesirable. 

Here are the lyrics: 

Smiley- Dead man walking 

You killed me
When you left me
Now you're looking
At a dead man walking

Dead man walking
X3

I said no you said yes
I will go don't love you no more

And you left me alone                                       
With a broken soul        

And you killed all my dreams        
You killed everything                            
Can't go on living                        
Without you by my side

There's no death
There's no life

You killed me
When you left me
Now you're looking
At a dead man walking
x4

Dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking
I'm a dead man walking

I said black you said white
I don't mind let's leave that behind
I'm sure we can find
A new way of life
'Cause you killed all my dreams
You killed everything
Can't go on living
Without you by my side

There's no death
There's no life

You killed me
When you left me
Now you're looking
At a dead man walking
x4

I know we broke up
Kinda messed up
But I know that
We can give it one more try
x4

You killed me
When you left me
Now you're looking
At a dead man walking 
x4

At a dead man walking
x3

You killed me
When you left me
Now you're looking
At a dead man walking

At a dead man walking
x3

  1. Hi Rux!
    I am intrigued that you first heard this song in Romania. During my travels, I always have an ear out for music that is playing in restaurants, shopping malls, etc. I love hearing something different. I love hearing the I pod selections that they play in the bars and restaurants and always end up asking the server about a song or two. One in Australia a few years ago was by Basquiat or smoething and had an amazing fun beat. I haven't heard it since!
    Keep posting. :) Ms. Morton
