We're Going To Miss You Lyrics
This is not, this is not, a song
This is a shield, this is a charm, with your name on
By this beat, by this verse, I'm protected
From your heat, and your curse, is reflected
If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Your green eyes, poison pen, serpent's tongue
Will return to the source that they came from
Revenge is the wine
Forgiveness is fine
Forgiveness divine
Revenge is more human
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
No words, all's been said and done
No more words, all's been said and done
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
This is a shield, this is a charm, with your name on
By this beat, by this verse, I'm protected
From your heat, and your curse, is reflected
If anybody hurts me
If anybody hurts me
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Will return to the source that they came from
Revenge is the wine
Forgiveness is fine
Forgiveness divine
Revenge is more human
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
No more words, all's been said and done
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone
Here's a mirror with your name on
Singing we're gonna miss you when you're gone

The site seems to suggest that the song is a "chant" (hence for the opening line) against anyone wishing to harm them (not self-harm).

This song is about suicide.
@THFPVG I get where you are coming from with the lines in the chorus, but the verses seem to suggest a strong willed person that is standing up for themselves (not generally characteristics one would associated with suicide).

Unless we assume that their "shield" is actually their death (that is they can't be touched in death??)
