"Take Me Too": Dead Eyes Confront Grief with Their Most Emotional Track Yet

Baltimore’s rising metalcore force, Dead Eyes, is back with their most emotionally charged single yet. "Take Me Too", out now via Thriller Records, marks both a sonic and personal evolution for the band as they dive deep into the raw weight of grief, loss, and longing. More than just a song—it’s an unfiltered look at the emotional wreckage that follows losing someone who felt like a part of your soul.

From the opening notes, "Take Me Too" strikes a different tone from Dead Eyes' past work. Where their previous single, "Good Die Young", balanced existential reflection with high-energy instrumentation, this track takes a more somber yet explosive approach. It ebbs and flows between quiet vulnerability and cathartic intensity, mirroring the unpredictable waves of grief. The band masterfully uses these sonic shifts to capture the emotional push-and-pull—between numbness and anguish, between acceptance and that gnawing ache of "what if."

Vocalist Zach Williams delivers one of his most heart-rending performances to date, channeling the pain of loss with haunting clean melodies before erupting into raw, unfiltered screams. The chorus grips like a desperate plea, reflecting the song’s central theme of struggling to find meaning in the aftermath of a deep personal loss.

"This song is about struggling to cope with a big loss," the band shares. "In the aftermath, it’s easy to feel like all the good in your life left with that person and be stuck in the thought, ‘If this is what it feels like to live without you, then I don’t want to go on.’"

The weight of these lyrics is undeniable. Dead Eyes has always excelled at blending heavy instrumentals with deeply personal storytelling, but "Take Me Too" takes that to another level—hitting an emotional depth that many metalcore bands strive for but rarely achieve with this level of sincerity.

Beyond its emotional impact, "Take Me Too" marks a pivotal moment in Dead Eyes’ career. After building momentum with InVogue Records, the band is stepping into a new era with Thriller Records, a move that signals bigger opportunities on the horizon. If this release is any indication, Dead Eyes isn’t just aiming to refine their sound—they’re pushing toward something greater, both in reach and intensity.

With over 12 million global streams and an ever-growing reputation in the metalcore scene, Dead Eyes is gearing up for a monumental 2025. The band will hit the road this spring for The Reborn Tour alongside Set It Off, Weathers, and Zero 9:36, followed by select dates with Beartooth, Gideon, and The Callous Daoboys.

These back-to-back tours prove that Dead Eyes isn’t just a band to watch—they’re a band that refuses to be ignored. With an unstoppable drive, a dedicated fanbase, and a sound that keeps evolving, "Take Me Too" isn’t just another single—it’s a declaration that Dead Eyes is here to stay.
