Big Dirt Nap
Defying the Reaper: A Rock Anthem on Life's Rebellion
Lyrics
Health and fitness a massive con
Health and fitness are criticized as a deceptive scheme.
Your clothes have corporate logos on
Wearing clothes with corporate logos is seen as a negative.
The gym you pantheon
The gym is referred to as a pantheon, possibly suggesting worship or blind adherence.
Keep their regime and your soul's gone
Adhering to the fitness regime is portrayed as detrimental to one's soul.
The reaper hangs around looking at all that you do
The presence of the reaper symbolizes mortality and constant observation.
He raises his scythe points his bony finger at you
The reaper points out life's choices with a scythe, symbolizing consequences.
You got to look him in the eye and tell him fuck you
A defiant attitude is encouraged when facing life's challenges.
The big dirt nap ain't something im gonna do
Expressing a refusal to accept the inevitability of death ("big dirt nap").
They want your drugs and they don't like your drink
There is criticism of societal pressure regarding substance use and preferences.
Social media instructs you how to think
Social media is portrayed as a force influencing thought patterns.
You don't follow their way and your the missing link
Deviating from societal norms is seen as being the "missing link."
It's all gone tits and down the kitchen sink
Everything has gone wrong, likened to a chaotic situation ("tits and down the kitchen sink").
The reaper hangs around looking at all that you do
Reiteration of the reaper's constant observation and the need for defiance.
He raises his scythe points his bony finger at you
The consequences of life's choices are emphasized.
You got to look him in the eye and tell him fuck you
Encouragement to confront challenges with a rebellious attitude.
The big dirt nap ain't something im gonna do
Reiteration of rejecting the idea of succumbing to death without a fight.
Escape the rat race go to an old pub
Advocacy for escaping the competitive and stressful nature of modern life.
See a live band eat some dodgy looking grub
Suggesting enjoyment of simple pleasures like live music and unconventional food.
Enjoy the beer garden piss in the shrubs
Embracing carefree behavior, such as urinating in unconventional places.
Lights come on you might get a rub
A playful reference to potential encounters in a relaxed environment.
The reaper hangs around looking at all that you do
Reiteration of the reaper's constant observation and the need for defiance.
He raises his scythe points his bony finger at you
The consequences of life's choices are reiterated.
You got to look him in the eye and tell him fuck you
Encouragement to confront challenges with a rebellious attitude.
The big dirt nap ain't something im gonna do
Reiteration of rejecting the idea of succumbing to death without a fight.
Time is running out i know it can't last
Highlighting the fleeting nature of time and the urgency to make the most of it.
Everything should be a fuckin blast
An expression of the desire for life to be enjoyable and fulfilling.
When your born they say the die is cast
A reference to the idea that life's course is predetermined from birth.
Its down to free will get off the beaten track
An encouragement to choose one's own path and deviate from societal expectations.
