Futuristic Casket Lyrics

I must have died
A thousand times
When I get out
I'll rule the end

I saw your face from a past life
I'm ready to move on
In a futuristic casket
And you're still mine

To work it out
I'll be a hole
She crawls inside
And make my home

I saw you're face in a film tonight
I wanted to touch the screen
I'll never be cruel again.

I saw your face in a past life
I'm ready to move on
In a futuristic casket

I saw you're face in a film tonight
I wanted to touch the screen
I'll never be cruel again

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.

I must have died A thousand times When I get out I'll rule the earth

I saw your face in a past Life I'm ready to move on In a futuristic casket And you're still alive

To work it out I'll dig a hole To crawl inside And make my home

I saw your face in a Film tonight I wanted to touch The screen I'll never be cruel again I saw your face in a Past life I'm ready to move on In a futuristic casket I saw your face in a Film tonight I wanted to touch The screen I'll never be cruel again

Seems to be about taking your lover for granted and having them leave you and going through that period afterwards where you start to get your act together and improve yourself. But it's too late and all he's holding onto now are fading memories of her.

Shakespeare, in Julius Ceaser wrote:\n\n"A coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. It seems to me most strange that men should fear, seeing that death, a necessary end, will come when it will come."\n\nSo here we have a coward who exhibits this behavior by wanted to dig a hole and climb inside and is sorry he was cruel to a woman in his past.\n\nBy "past life" it plays on the theme of dying a thousand times before the true death.
