Carpe Diem Lyrics
Breaking in a sweat, like a bomb threat
Here's your silhouette fading out
Nothing left to lose, detonate the fuse
Another break in this blow out
Ain't it beautiful, so unusual?
Life's a gas and it's running out
Living a cliche, gonna seize the day
Bottle rockets and celebrate
Carpe diem a battle cry
Aren't we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die?
Making a living, making a killing
What's worth forgiving?
Alright
A blink of an eye, barely scraping by
Dominated by passerbys
Feeling out of luck when the traffic's stuck
And you're feeling so left behind
Getting off a binge, get a second wind
Another promise to make a change
Got a broken wing, hear the angels sing
When the single is out of range
Ain't it strange?
Carpe diem a battle cry
Aren't we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die?
Making a living, making a killing
What's worth forgiving?
Alright
Making a living, making a killing
What's worth forgiving?
Alright
Carpe diem a battle cry
Aren't we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die?
Here's your silhouette fading out
Nothing left to lose, detonate the fuse
Another break in this blow out
Life's a gas and it's running out
Living a cliche, gonna seize the day
Bottle rockets and celebrate
Aren't we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die?
What's worth forgiving?
Alright
Dominated by passerbys
Feeling out of luck when the traffic's stuck
And you're feeling so left behind
Another promise to make a change
Got a broken wing, hear the angels sing
When the single is out of range
Ain't it strange?
Aren't we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die?
What's worth forgiving?
Alright
What's worth forgiving?
Alright
Aren't we all too young to die?
Ask a reason and no reply
Aren't we all too young to die?

This song is obviously just about living life and realizing that life's too short to mess around. Billie said when they played the song that it's about being alive. This song gets me psyched about their next album, I can't wait to hear their other new songs!
I get a sense of reflection from the new album, and I feel that there's a hint at sarcasm amongst the lyrics, because you make your choices and you live that life, and that's just how things are. But there's always someone or something looking down on it, trying to control it into how they think it needs to be and those who don't agree, but the fact is that it is what it is and as much as they love doing what they do, live for the moment and do their thing, there are parts of it that get old and get in the way of getting on with it, and there's always the nagging wonder of whether or not they're losing themselves to it, being left behind, but does it really matter if they're doing what they love anyway in the end? Life's too short to really stop and spend wondering, and when it's time to walk away it's time to walk away to get on with other things that matter.
