When My Time Comes Lyrics

I don't know if I just want to think this as a happy song rather than a sad one, but does "when my time comes " have to refer to death? Could it maybe mean that throughout the song he is talking about how much he doesn't like his life and he is hoping that he will soon get out of it and in a way conquer all the bad things and turn it around? "When my time comes" to me is kind of the day will come when I will break free of this life and start a different one.

I agree with you.

I think death, as a concept in this song, is a lot like the “death card” in tarot.

I personally don’t believe in tarot, but I know about random stuff, and the death card in its essence doesn’t necessarily mean death. It can mean renewal or rejuvenation

Or mean a new beginning, which is probably the best way to describe death in this or many songs

Ultimately, I believe death in art is less “dead body buried forever” vs “this part of me is done” or “this part of my life is over”
