My Funeral Party Lyrics

This could be the day I go
I know you think it's crazy
But I can feel it in my bones
The way the cars and people move
Slow and stop all up and down my block
I can almost hear the trumpets sound
I wish all my friends could be here now
To see these tables turning
That man waiting at the station
Could be an angel sent to whisk me away
The way his coat hangs funny on his back
I bet he hides his wings under there
I can almost hear the trumpets sound
I wish all my friends could be here now
To see these tables turning
If I could change one thing about myself
I would not take it all so seriously

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.

Unless there is some deeper meaning, I feel like this song is about the kind of day when you just feel crappy...and really really wierded out like your going to die...death day or whatever. lol I feel like I'm just stating the obvious. I really really like the last line, about not taking things so seriously. And I like how it's a wish..because honestly, people like myself can't just stop taking things seriously. It's just, a damn part of me. The music in the song is pretty sweet too....but I just really like it lyrically....

i agree with Mike Rotchh. it's a day you feel way depressed to continue, then you start thinking about your funeral. a sad song, but i see a lot of hope in this. like his funeral will be so beautiful and he will be free..

and about the last line, i keep wondering if it's like "if i could change one thing about myself that i don't like that much, i would change and wouldn't take things so seriously", or "if i could change one thing one myself, i would choose for not taking things so seriously"
