Part of Me Died Lyrics
The part that is envious, cold hearted and devious
Greedy, mischievous, global, colonial
Bloodthirsty, blind, mindless and cheap
Focused on borders and slaughtering sheep
Burning of books, bulldozing of homes
Given to targeted killing with drones
Lethal injections, arrest without trial
Monocular vision, gangrene and slime
Unction, sarcasm, common assault
Self-satisfied heroic killers
Lifted on high
Piracy adverts, acid attacks
On women by bullies and perverts and hacks
The rigging of ballots and the buying of power
Lies from the pulpit
Rape in the shower
Mute, indifferent
Feeling no shame
Portly, important
Leering, deranged
Sat in the corner watching TV
Deaf to the cries of children in pain
Dead to the world
Just watching the game
Watching endless repeats out of sight, out of mind
Silence, indifference
The ultimate crime
But when I met you, that part of me died
Bring me a bowl to bathe her feet in
Bring me my final cigarette
It would be better by far to die in her arms than to linger
In a lifetime of regret
Greedy, mischievous, global, colonial
Bloodthirsty, blind, mindless and cheap
Focused on borders and slaughtering sheep
Burning of books, bulldozing of homes
Given to targeted killing with drones
Lethal injections, arrest without trial
Unction, sarcasm, common assault
Self-satisfied heroic killers
Lifted on high
On women by bullies and perverts and hacks
The rigging of ballots and the buying of power
Rape in the shower
Mute, indifferent
Feeling no shame
Portly, important
Leering, deranged
Deaf to the cries of children in pain
Dead to the world
Just watching the game
Silence, indifference
The ultimate crime
But when I met you, that part of me died
Bring me my final cigarette
It would be better by far to die in her arms than to linger
In a lifetime of regret

We all have something bad inside us. We are all capable of doing bad things in this world but most of us don't do any of these things. Waters is saying that when he laid eyes on the perfect woman, the "right one", then that evil or bad part that was lying dormant in him was thus gone. She brought the best out of him and made him a better human.
