Take Me to the Basement Lyrics

This is probably the most meaningful/beautiful song that has ever crossed my ears. I think it is about being real and sticking to your roots. Staying with your "basement". "If you choose to build or you'll die by the tools you build with" i think this means you either need to build (stay on track) or lose yourself (die) trying to find a meaning
