"DiE4u"
You know that I'd die for, I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
You know that I'd breathe for, I'd bleed for
You know that I'd breathe for you
Let me see my halo, even though it's painful
I'm prepared to lose
You know that I'd die for, I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
I keep holding my breath for a miracle
Hoping the hole in my heart would've healed somehow
Feeling so fucking close to the edge right now
You know you're everything I hate, wish I could escape
But you know I would die for you
You know that I'd die for, I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
You know that I'd breathe for, I'd bleed for
You know that I'd breathe for you
Let me see my halo, even though it's painful
I'm prepared to lose
You know that I'd die for, I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
'Cause I've died inside a thousand times
But still I'd kill myself for you
'Cause the truth of it, you could slit my wrists
And I'd write your name in a heart with the haemorrhage
Got me so fucking close to the edge right now
You know it's you I need to kick, you make me feel like shit
And I don't wanna die for you (Die for you)
You know that I'd die for, I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
You know that I'd breathe for, I'd bleed for
You know that I'd breathe for you
Let me see my halo, even though it's painful
I'm prepared to lose
You know that I'd die for, I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you
This isn't love, this is a car crash
This isn't love, this is a bloodbath
This isn't love, this is a sentence
It's a bullet in the head (It's a bullet in the head)
This isn't love, this is a car crash
This isn't love, this is a bloodbath
This isn't love, this is a sentence
It's a bullet in the head
So pull the trigger
You know that I'd die for, I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you (I'd die for you)
You know that I'd breathe for, I'd bleed for
You know that I'd breathe for you
Let me see my halo, even though it's painful
I'm prepared to lose
You know that I'd die for, I'd cry for
You know that I'd die for you

"DiE4u" is the first single by Bring Me The Horizon published after the band's EP "Post Human: Survival Horror" (2020). The song and its video were premiered on the 16th of September, 2021. The cinematic and bloody visuals were filmed in Ukraine and tell a part of a bigger story that Oli Sykes, who directed the clip, wanted to continue with a comic series.
Oli Sykes explained the meaning behind this song while speaking with NME about it, "It's kinda like tackling the song as if this unhealthy obsession that I have is a relationship β almost like a mistress. I've learned over the past year while I've been recovering that when you're in it, addiction is like you're having an affair. You're doing this thing behind everyone's back, it's a secret, and it is like you're cheating on people or betraying people. I never saw it in that way. I just thought I was harming myself and not other people. I didn't realise how much it can fuck up people's trust."
This track was recorded remotely during the COVID-19 pandemic when frontman Oli Sykes was in Brazil and keyboardist Jordan Fish was in the UK.
