Now that I'm dead and gone
Look at me I'm floatin' like the breeze
With my roots strong like trees
Unfiltered in your memories
Holdin' a candle light vigil
Sayin' a prayer my name is Grace
Buried with the paint on my face
I put the chase up long enough
I live the lifestyle wrong and tough
And now my life span's up
I give a fuck I'm bout to run it in the after life
And hopefully they put my soul in the butcher knife

If I was to die
It'd make a lot of people happy
No funeral, possesions
No plot at the cemetery
Finally, I can be alone in my own world
The wagons come take me away from the Killing Fields
If I was to die
Would you finally shut your mouth?
Understand what I am
Understand what I'm about
Like curse
Sets me up high on your pedestal
I'm about to find out
(Shaggy it's time to go)

I wanna die so I can see the other side
I wanna die so I can fly
I wanna die take me to the other side
I wanna die so I can fly

I wanna die so I can see the other side
I wanna die so I can fly
I wanna die take me to the other side
I wanna die so I can fly

I wanna die, maybe I'll get angel wings
So I can cut 'em off, cook 'em up
I have some hella wing dings
I'd take my hallo off, get myself a ladder
Hang it on the wall
Maybe you'll think it's a gold record
Death, everybody follow my hearse
Why does everybody always gotta go and die first?
Before their homies are missin' 'em
And family members kissin' 'em
Everybody even enemies stop dissin' 'em
I wanna die, so I can haunt my buddies
Stand behind them in the mirror
With my eyes all bloody
Stick my long, black
Cold tongue all in they ear
And be like, I'm only playin'
And disappear
I wanna die, and have everything answered
What happened to my father?
Why was I a bastard?
What is thunder?
Is it really God bowlin'?
And nightime's a blanket
And the stars are the holes in it

I wanna die so I can see the other side
I wanna die so I can fly
I wanna die take me to the other side
I wanna die so I can fly

I wanna die so I can see the other side
I wanna die so I can fly
I wanna die take me to the other side
I wanna die so I can fly

Your answers are unneccesary you understand
And never question the emotions of an unstable man
I got the petals of a Lotus
And the pedal to the floor
Followin' a black hearse
In the rain through a thunder storm
Never once did I envision me
Bein' stuck in such a situation
He made decisions, now his spirit levitatin'
I can see him wavin' at me
Through the window of the hearse
He's cryin' blood, it all stops
And it gets worst

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
At least that's what I was told
When I was on the come up
Been to the grave, and it ain't no joke
Resurfaced to the earth with the spirits I invoke
Cut down in my prime, when my clock got hit
Now I'm ridin' in the back of a hearse and shit
Darkness, pitch black, never seein' no one
And the Devil got his darkest demons ridin' shotgun

I wanna die so I can see the otherside
I wanna die so I can fly
I wanna die take me to the otherside
I wanna die so I can fly

I wanna die so I can see the otherside
I wanna die so I can fly
I wanna die take me to the otherside
I wanna die so I can fly

Take me away
Take me with you
Take me away
Take me with you
Take me away...

    Holy Shit.... My Life In A Song? Or My Death In A Song Mayhaps... Ponder That :-D

    To me, my friend Mike could be singing Shaggy's part and the rest of us (his homies) could be singing Jay's part. Mike would be the type of spirit to come up behind us in the mirror and stick his tongue in our ears...and the rest of us don't necessarily want to be "not alive" but we have always been told that death answers all of those questions you ponder during life. Also, death is the only way we will ever be with Mike again...so some of us want to go to the other side.

    Love this song, I've always thought what life was like after death, and sometimes wanted to die just to know, never actaully tried to kill myself lol but yea, soon as I heard this I fucking fell in love with it.

    and I'm not even into the whole "juggalo" and "juggalettes" thing

    Love this song. One of my favorite songs from Dark Lotus! I could definitely see myself as Violent J messing with all my homies.

Fast Car
Tracy Chapman
"Fast car" is kind of a continuation of Bruce Springsteen's "Born to Run." It has all the clawing your way to a better life, but in this case the protagonist never makes it with her love; in fact she is dragged back down by him. There is still an amazing amount of hope and will in the lyrics; and the lyrics themselve rank and easy five. If only music was stronger it would be one of those great radio songs that you hear once a week 20 years after it was released. The imagery is almost tear-jerking ("City lights lay out before us", "Speeds so fast felt like I was drunk"), and the idea of starting from nothing and just driving and working and denigrating yourself for a chance at being just above poverty, then losing in the end is just painful and inspiring at the same time.

Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.

Plastic Bag
Ed Sheeran
“Plastic Bag” is a song about searching for an escape from personal problems and hoping to find it in the lively atmosphere of a Saturday night party. Ed Sheeran tells the story of his friend and the myriad of troubles he is going through. Unable to find any solutions, this friend seeks a last resort in a party and the vanity that comes with it. “I overthink and have trouble sleepin’ / All purpose gone and don’t have a reason / And there’s no doctor to stop this bleedin’ / So I left home and jumped in the deep end,” Ed Sheeran sings in verse one. He continues by adding that this person is feeling the weight of having disappointed his father and doesn’t have any friends to rely on in this difficult moment. In the second verse, Ed sings about the role of grief in his friend’s plight and his dwindling faith in prayer. “Saturday night is givin’ me a reason to rely on the strobe lights / The lifeline of a promise in a shot glass, and I’ll take that / If you’re givin’ out love from a plastic bag,” Ed sings on the chorus, as his friend turns to new vices in hopes of feeling better.
