Heathers: The Musical Cast - Dead Girl Walking (Reprise) Lyrics

This song is awesome and I adore it, but I much prefer this scene in the movie for its message (as I do in general). In the musical JD sacrifices himself at the end in atonement and out of love for Veronica. In the movie after Veronica shoots him she disables the bomb and walks out front. After a moment JD walks out too, they exchange a few words and he blows himself up with the bomb he carried out. Now, this means he clearly could've reactivated the bomb in the boiler room when he woke up and leave with a different exit. Why didn't he?

-He recognizes and acknowledges he's the problem... And deals with it the only way he was ever taught how, by destruction.

-He recognizes Veronica "won the game" and forfeits.

I WISH I HAD MORE TNT


First world problems

Veronica: "I wish you'd come with me"
JD: "i WiSh I hAd MoRe TnT!!!"
Me:...there are two kinds of people.

Dead girl walking: LETS MAKE THIS WORLD DISAPPEAR
JD: oh wait that’s a good idea.....
Dead girl walking reprise: WAIT NO I DIDNT MEAN IT!!!

Who can not get over his laugh at 1:34



Cause I cannot

1:12 AYO WESTERBERG TELL ME WHATS THAT SOUND

This song makes me wish my school's name was Westerberg

veronica: i'm a dead girl walking

🤣🤣

2:03 God, I love this part.

This whole song in a nutshell,



Veronica: _You ready to die?_

J.D: _Uh, I'M A BAD BITCH, YOU CAN'T KILL ME!_

always when i hear any song from the musical i imagine winona ryder and christian slater singing

I wish that your dad was good! I wish grown ups understood!
I wish we met before they convinced you life was war!

The music tho..
Chills..

When you tell your bf to make this whole town disappear but best he can do is a school smh

JD : We live in a society

Meant to be yours ending:

JD: oh no your dead and now im alone...

1 song later:

JD: Oh hey babe! Your not dead! Cool!

2:24 👌🏻
👌🏼
1:10👌🏽

0:43👌🏿

Is it bad my favourite part is the school chanting bit!

2:03 AWESOME 💖💖💖💖💖👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Someone tell Veronica that killing a killer doesn’t down the level of killers in the world
See how she reacts

Is it me or is this song honestly the best (in my opinion.) It gets me so pumped up, and I feel the vocals are difficult, and done really well.

JD: This thing? I’d hardly call this a bomb


Also JD: Not sure what this thing will do

2:03 😔👌

Them singing: What’s that sound
Me screaming: A BOMB
Them saying it again
Me: WHAT EVER DIE IDC 😒👋

Who else had their childhood of Liv and Maddie ruined when they found this and then found out Ryan Mcarten was JD?

I BELTED THE A5 HELL YEAH

*ignore me* qwp

Ok being very random but for any ATLA fans at 2:04-2:24 imagine Katara saying that to Zuko like somewhere around the time they were underground in Ba sing, I feel like it works so well!
I generally want to make an animatic for it

0:00 - 0:43 IT'S SOOOOO GOOD

Watch Blue
No Tiktokers and Riverdale Lovers

Dead girl walking: Wanna bang
Dead girl walking reprise: No bang

Listening to the reprise after the Dead Girl Walking is iconic

"I threw togheter a lovely tribute"
Is she... Sad cuz Veronica's alive? 😭😭😭😭😭

Veronica *not dead*
Me Fleming *oh my G o d ugh*

veronica: I wish you'd come with me!
me: oh honey he already did

First song I’m listening to in 2020 and I’m not complaining

Veronica: make this whole town disappear

JD: kind of a weird request but sure

Dead Girl Walking: Veronica!? How'd you get into my room?!
Dead Girl Walking Reprise: Veronica?! How are you ALIVE!?

Why is no one talking about dat A5 at the beginning! Seems so easy!

Is there a such thing as a Yandere guy?
If you don’t know what Yandere is, let me explain.
Yandere is an anime type used to describe someone who are so in love with their crush that they would do anything, even kill someone who tries to get to their loved one, to get them to love them. It usually described in females, but I think this would be a good time to put JD into the mix of Yanderes.
Who else agrees?

"The only place where Heathers and Marthas can get along is in heaven"
So you admit they aren't bad people?

I think this is my favorite song from the musical after Lifeboat

Is it just me or does 2:03 sound like Todoroki's past

2:03 GAVE ME C H I L L S

I feel one point in the song the Westerburg chant becomes Heather. C, Kurt, and Ram taunting JD as he knows Veronica is going to stop him.

Veronica's pleading at 2:03 makes me sad

Veronica: I wish ur mom stayed a little longer

Jd: this, Veronica, is why we can’t have nice things..

"Veronica what's going on?"
"I'm a dead girl walking"

My classmates keep making fun of me because I have a class mate name J. D and my name is Veronica 😂😂

Am I the only one who can recite the whole J.D speech ?????

Off topic, but I wish the pep rallies at my school were as cool as the pep rallies in this musical.

Also "I wish I had more TNT" is me trying to blow up my brother's Minecraft world

If you said "There's your final bell, it's one more dance and then farewell" with no context, people would think you're about to shoot up the school.

that moment you realize te reason ms. flemmings doesn't bat an eye, is because veronica's response sounds like a girl who just had a frustrating brake up, and she knows jd is that vindictive

I stg all i can hear when i listen to the og is WESTEND JD EGEBEHDJDHDNND WHYYYY

Veronica; “Make this whole town disappear.”
JD; *tries*
Veronica; wAIT-

Mrs. Fleming is honestly a mood...

please play this at my funeral

same i also wish i had more tnt

I am so for the was Veronica seems kinda choked up when she asks Ms Flemming about the boiler room

Veronica: i wish you'd come with me


JD: wishing isnt very scientific son

*i w i s h i h a d m o r e t n t*

Who else thought J.D was a cute pshycopath?

@Dearbhla is super cool I get you there, you are right, I hate how ppl misjudge and romamtise it tho, sorry if I came of harsh, I just hate how much ppl misjudge mental illness, most ppl when they say psychopath think psychotic and it's not the same
Thank you for understanding haha

Mirna Mehmedović Nah you’re good man you weren’t harsh at all!! :))

@Mirna Mehmedović I know, but in the movie nit musical

@Shadowy_Blizzard commenting on musical version doesn't go in your favor haha
Would say something about JD's characteristics there but I am not that well versed in the movie, so I'ma just say he is probably sociopath in it

@Mirna Mehmedović yeah, I was just listening to this and thought of the movie haha. In the movie he is pretty much an insane sociopath, so yeah

This reprise simply gives me chills. 'Dead Girl Walking' is about a girl who sees losing her reputation in high school as death. The reprise is about a girl knowing she might actually die in stopping a crazy guy who takes high school reputation as seriously as she once did.

VELutke or.. she just faked her suicide in the last song. Much more literal interpretation but it works both ways

@Dearbhla is super cool True. But I always assumed that she knew JD was so far gone that trying to stop him would likely kill her. And in at least the musical version, she was willing to drag the bomb out of the boiler room and to a safe place at the cost of her own life.

IM A DEAD GIRL




Running

This whole song you know the school is about to blow up and it's a serious matter, than theirs JD "I wish I had more TNT"

wait so is veronica still in love with JD?

I love this motif and how “Dead Girl Walking” means something totally different and new. THIS IS WHY I LOVE MOTIFS!!!

Veronica: fucks JD
Veronica: fuck JD

I have been watching a lot of musicals but wtf does 'reprise' mean?

I know but I ship them it’s when the song makes a comeback with a different meaning behind the change of lyrics- for the first time in forever from frozen is a good example of it

That
Is
Way
Too
Catchy

I was singing this song then a high note came up and I was like hahaha nope u think I can do that

...Wait. If he just blows himself up anyways why is she stopping him? In Damaged are they outside like in the movie?

We live in society

Literally jds whole mood in one sentence

*BEACUSE THAT SCHOOL WAS S O C I T I Y*

Gives me chills-

Who come from riverdale?

"There's a school that self-destructed not because society doesn't care. But because that school was society. The only place Heathers and Martha's can get along is in heaven."

*ok boomer*

In the description, you forgot the ‘i wish I had more TNT!’ part

This is why you don’t trust anyone

Any girl wanna sing the whole musical with me? It's hard to sing as Veronica n JD at the same time and Veronica sounds oddly manly when I sing her parts.

Mrs Fleming: Wait I thought u were dead
Veronica: No
Mrs Fleming: Well I made a lovely tribute so can you go die please?

Jeeezzussss the chops on this girl Veronica

jd lowkey isnt the same without christian slaters voice

pp head

2:03 chat blanc vibes

the better dgw

I always thought this was from Beetlejuice

bold of JD to assume heather is going to heaven

If any of you came here from tik tok ur here for 2:03

Imagine just listening to the playlist and being all like, "Didn't she just die?"

"I wish I had more TNT"😂

Don’t mind me making a time stamp to learn the beat 2:17

SPOILERS FOR P5R




Oh my god. Before the sequel to persona 5 (persona 5 royal I mean, not scramble) I always saw this song as Ren talking about how Akechi’s plan to kill Shido was unhealthy and how he needed to stop him. It doesn’t help that I am damaged fits really well with Akechi’s death in the boiler room of Shido’s ship.
Now.
I can only ever see this song as Akechi in the royal getting so enraged with Takuto’s fix all for everyone’s problems. He knows that everything, including himself was fake and he was ready to die (AGAIN) for Ren to get out of this unhealthy coping mechanism. Goro Akechi is literally a *dead man walking*. He’s dead, he’s a breathing corpse and he is fully aware of it. He doesn’t try to stay in the reality where he is alive, he actively works to destroy it and himself along with it so that Ren can move on from his death. Fuck man.

It makes me happy that this is the closest thing we ever got to a true romantic relationship between a protagonist and a character in a persona game. I’ll forever be mad that after all that, after Akechi dies for Ren and ends the dream world, Ren seemingly forgets about Akechi and never mentions him again. Bury your gays.

edit: let’s not forget that 2:09 could be said by Ren word by word in game and it would fit perfectly

I just poked myself in my eye. Ow.

The Westerburg chant gets me HYPED!

J.D is so hot

Who else has TikTok ruined
