Cover art for David Comes To Life lyrics by Fucked Up

I hear it more as a dream and less about drugs or suicide, though both of those could be involved... Mostly basing this off of the female vocals singing softly: "David its time to get up." Could be awakening from a dream or from a suicide attempt or drug induced coma though I suppose.

I think the great thing about this song is that it can apply to so many things... generally: the quest for god / higher understanding, but that can manifest itself as drugs use, religion, relationships, blowing up a factory that makes lightbulbs (LOL) etc.. anything used with the expectation of "jumping the line" David is a flawed character.. just like the rest of us.

Not Valid

David needs to buy himself a jumbo pack of condoms....old man size.

Not Valid

Old men don't need condoms,they barely produce any sperm,if they can even attain an erection.I'm sure you have nothing to worry about. ;)
