Dying Is Fine Lyrics

Lyric discussion by theadrianman 

Cover art for Dying Is Fine lyrics by Ra Ra Riot

I feel that 'dying,' in this sense, means living although they are obviously opposite of each other, i feel 'dying' means the 'process' of living

so when he says 'living dying' he really is saying 'living simply to live'

and the reference to 'scientific analyzing' is the way in which people try to make sense of life (be it scientifically, or otherwise--which there is no definite answer); and thus, I think, ra ra riot has taken the road e.e. cummings took, and realized there is no true answer to the reason of existence. Therefore, death is too sacred for us to comprehend- that's why 'i wouldn't like death, even if death were good'... because it's far beyond the comprehension of us today, and we are not able to understand death's purpose (besides taking a body from the earth).

Song Meaning

This is a much clearer interpretation than what I presented. I like your idea that the idea of science is the attempt to understand life and death. This is a really solid analysis!
