| Hollywood Undead – I Don't Wanna Die Lyrics | 12 years ago |
|
What I take from this is the concept of survival during unbearable crisis. He's facing something that makes him seek for vengence in a crazed manner (I kind of feel that he's facing betrayal from the love of his life). He wants to kill the person that took his "baby" from him. He'll die of deprivation and anger if he doesn't gain closure by killing this person that has taken his love from him. Then another prominent element that the song discusses is the possibility of eternal damnation that will be acquired if he murders. He doesn't want to die because the unknown consequences of his actions are petrifying. Many refrences to God and the after life make me feel that the guilt of him killing this person is making him wonder what's going to become of himself when HE dies... Then lastly, I think he sort of justifies his murderous action by saying that it's just how this cruel world works. ("You got to kill what you gotta kill, Yeah that's what they say.") And then he goes on to say that it's just mother nature; everyone dies eventually, and he's just merely tampering with that proccess. ("it's mother nature at least, watch humanity cease") Then finally, he takes the life of the person. ("Now that I see You buried... Six feet below") This is the part where he starts to have a debate within himself. He continues on by saying he has remorse for his actions ("It's not alright... Can't you hear me as I cry?") Lastly, to make himself feel better and forget his compunction, he reminds himself of the main reason why he did this in the first place ("I couldn't let you live, 'Cause I didn't wanna die...") This song really deals with the prfound thouhghts of murder, penance, religion, and life while balancing the relations between morals/values and the rules of nature. |
