The song "Lost" by Hadouken! is about someone who has been left waiting by a person who made promises but never kept them. The repetition of the lyrics "You promised, you promised to" reflects the frustration and disappointment of the narrator who feels cheated and lost. The chorus, "Let's all die, let's die my way, let them lie," might seem dark and nihilistic, but it could also be interpreted as the narrator's desire to take control of their life and not be at the mercy of someone who let them down. The idea of dying on their own terms instead of living a half-life waiting for someone who won't come through is a form of rebellion. Overall, "Lost" is a song about the pain of broken promises and the need for self-determination and empowerment in the face of disappointment.
