Life After Death Lyrics
(Spoken Word)
So here we are at the end,
And at the same time we're at the beginning
Of this misadventure.
Why I had to go down a dead end street
At 200 miles an hour
Screaming for vengeance and embracing death,
That's still something I'm trying to figure out.
You know a part of me thinks this is some big master plan
To expose the raw nerve endings of dysfunction so I can heal.
But you know addicts, we think everything's about us, don't we?
Man, it got so convoluted, polluted, and distorted,
I ran with the only information I was given.
I turned it into my armor, my defense mechanism,
And my weapon of self destruction.
Yeah, I had a fucked up childhood. And I was a troubled teen.
Those are facts.
How I got there? That's a story told by many voice.
It's not my job to blame anybody anymore,
I just need to accept the path I was given.
This is, without a doubt,
My life... after death.
And at the same time we're at the beginning
Of this misadventure.
Why I had to go down a dead end street
At 200 miles an hour
Screaming for vengeance and embracing death,
That's still something I'm trying to figure out.
You know a part of me thinks this is some big master plan
To expose the raw nerve endings of dysfunction so I can heal.
But you know addicts, we think everything's about us, don't we?
I ran with the only information I was given.
I turned it into my armor, my defense mechanism,
And my weapon of self destruction.
Yeah, I had a fucked up childhood. And I was a troubled teen.
Those are facts.
How I got there? That's a story told by many voice.
It's not my job to blame anybody anymore,
I just need to accept the path I was given.
My life... after death.

There is a line missing. it should read: "Man, it got so convoluted, polluted, and distorted. I ran with the only information i was givin. I turned it into my armor, my defense mechanism,"
Thanks man. You were right, I fixed it now. :)
What is the choir singing after Nikki finishes talking?
Pretty sure they're singing "Life comes after death comes after life comes after death..." etc.
It means the reason he ended up on heroin is cuz he didnt kno his dad and his mom always abandoned them. so after he nearly died the second time he finally quit and turned it around and started his "new life"
This is an excellent summary of how Sixx came to a realization after all he had been through, and put himself through. "It's not my job to blame anyone anymore. I just need to accept the path I was given"
For the first time in his life, coming to terms with what things are and cannot be changed, and embracing what he has been given.
