When I Die Lyrics
If you walked in now
I wouldn't start
I wouldn't frown
And if you just appeared
I wouldn't cry or think it weird
'Cause you are still around
You're in the air, you're in the ground
And you can't go away
I am afraid you're here to stay
Friends don't understand
They close the door, they raise their hands
She says she hears your voice
Of course she does, she has no choice
I was hours ahead
When they removed you from your bed
They drank all the while
Until you said goodbye
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
I don't look up, I don't look down
I look ahead and make no sound
My love was there, I only stare
Healthy in my dreams
Is what you are is what it seems
What does it all mean?
You're only hiding behind a screen
Curse the English day
For what it forces us to say
Banish all the pain
'Cause when I die, die
I'll see you again
I wouldn't start
I wouldn't frown
And if you just appeared
I wouldn't cry or think it weird
'Cause you are still around
You're in the air, you're in the ground
And you can't go away
I am afraid you're here to stay
Friends don't understand
They close the door, they raise their hands
She says she hears your voice
Of course she does, she has no choice
I was hours ahead
When they removed you from your bed
They drank all the while
Until you said goodbye
Why are we sitting here in ourselves?
I don't look up, I don't look down
I look ahead and make no sound
My love was there, I only stare
Healthy in my dreams
Is what you are is what it seems
What does it all mean?
You're only hiding behind a screen
Curse the English day
For what it forces us to say
Banish all the pain
'Cause when I die, die
I'll see you again

This song was written by Emma Anderson about her Father who passed away.
"Why are we sitting here, in ourselves?" is one of the best lines. It is the feeling of being trapped in one's own body. I have had this feeling sometimes when I was severely depressed.
This song, regardless of how it is perceived by each individual. my opinion it is about having no fear of death, spirits, and the passing of oneself in order to free the soul from this prison and hell on earth we suffer through as we finally finish our sentence!
Heartbreaking, dismal, awesome.
Heartbreaking, dismal, awesome.
Yes, "why are we sitting here in ourselves?" has to be one of the best lines ever.
i dedicate this song to zak and april.
