So on paper, this song seems very bleak. But to me, it feels very freeing and positive. This song was made after learning about the philosopher Emil Cioran and his views on death and suicide. I thought some of his thoughts were interesting and inspired this song. It's also about the benefit of perspective in taking yourself less seriously and living life a little fuller because what really matters when we are all gonna die?
Lyrics:
It's already too late
you've already hurt enough
you've already been born
this is what life is
life has to live off of life to live
and
we know too much to be kids now
the choice is here as a gift now
if I hadn't the option to take my own life
I would have taken it by now
life starts
the moment we choose not to live
for anyone else
life starts
Nothing matters
and we're all gonna die
we're all gonna die
we're all gonna die
we're all gonna die
its already too late
you've already hurt enough
you've already been born
this is what life is
life has to live off of life to live
and we know too much to be kids now
the choice is here as a gift now
what freedom it brings to know nothing matters and we're all gonna die
to live with our lives
like we're all gonna die
without the lies
life starts the moment we choose not to live
for anyone else
what freedom it brings
to know nothing matters and we're all gonna die
to live with our lives
like we're all gonna diemore
