I Wanna Die Lyrics
and be buried with a rubix cube.
and sleep inside the big blue buildings,
while the sweet disease drives through.
i wanna die because the government lied.
floating in a yellow stream.
running through the windows backwards.
kissing all the buildings clean.
and orgyastic party games.
with arrows pointing at her face.
later that day in gym class,
she ate a mouth full of anthrax,
go to sleep.
This song is just so sad and, easy to see, about the wish to die, and yet still full of Adam's humour ("I wanna choose to die and be buried with the rubix cube) or lets say his absurdities. It also ends very sadly: "Later that day in gym class she ate a mouth full of anthrax, go to sleep"... I just cant describe the way he sings it so softly , in a way in which you'd never think what the text is.. Awesome!
I think the rubix cube symbolizes how complex his life is/thoughts are and no one would ever understand. The rest are things you think about when you want to die. "She was a man of herpes" - maybe it symbolizes alienation from society?

the perfection of these words is just absurd- it should make no sense, yet (although admittedly i can't pinpoint any specific meaning) it seems to flow perfectly in my mind. i hope that my meaning isn't lost in my words.. but yes, it's just a very sad song
Easily the best Adam Green song IMO. Unbelievably beautiful yet oh so bizarre.
