We're All Going To Die Lyrics

Wait up, don’t you close your eyes
Breathe life little flower
You’ve got 20 T-cells left to burn
Please choose life with its sweet and sour

Don’t sing your last lullaby
I don’t think it is time

We’re all going to die
But we’re all not meant to die young
We’re all going to die
But we’re all not meant to die young

Wait up, don’t you close your eyes
Love has been hidden in the shadow
You’ve got the rope already tied around your neck
One voice whispers life through your sorrow

Don’t sing your last lullaby
I don’t think it is time

We’re all going to die
But we’re all not meant to die young
We’re all going to die
But we’re all not meant to die young

This is not your lullaby
Don’t go to sleep
Not yet

We’re all going to die
But we’re all not meant to die young
Wait for the sunrise
Cause we're all not meant to die young

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

according to christian, the lead singer, it sort of leads up to yamkela. here's what he said:

This song was an attempt to tie together what I saw in South Africa, where young men & women are dying of AIDS and other diseases and what we have seen in Europe and America, where young men and women are also dying but from a different cause – depression and a loss of hope. The fight for life is with different enemies.

This was based on 2 different people – Yamkela a young boy we met in South Africa & friend in States. One fighting a battle with AIDS and the other fighting depression – in both continents people are dying unnecessarily young. When we wrote this there was a real fight for both their lives. But as I write this today both of them are doing much better and have been able to see that even in these desperate situations there is hope for life.
