Lyrics
You're as pretty as a picture
You possess a beauty comparable to a picturesque image.
I'm sure you've heard many times before
It's likely that you've been complimented in this way numerous times in the past.
But what will live on when all your looks are gone
Questioning what will endure beyond the fading of your physical attractiveness.
Your looks are gone
Acknowledgment that the external beauty will eventually diminish.
We'll just replace you with somebody else
Suggesting a societal tendency to replace individuals once their beauty fades.
Somebody young, dumb, and full of hell
Describing the replacement with someone younger, less experienced, and rebellious.
Beauty's in the eyes of the beholder
Referencing the subjective nature of beauty.
But loses currency when we get older
Highlighting that beauty loses its value as people age.
In the cards we're going down
Expressing a sense of impending downfall or negative fate.
No one to remember us when we're not around
Fear of being forgotten once no longer present.
I wanna live that immortal life
Desire to lead a life that transcends mortality.
But I got stuck with this no good plight
Frustration with the current undesirable situation or circumstance.
Oh no
An exclamation indicating a realization or concern.
Sell your soul for one more taste
Metaphorically considering trading one's integrity for fleeting pleasures.
A face is such a shame to waste
Regret over the wastefulness of a beautiful face.
I wanna live that immortal life
Reiteration of the desire for immortality.
Oh no I never never wanna die
A strong aversion to the idea of death.
We're not here for very long
A reflection on life's brevity and the ongoing pursuit of escape.
And yet we're still trying to escape
Despite life's short duration, there is an enduring effort to evade difficulties.
Only so much torture that someone can take
Recognition that individuals have limits to enduring suffering.
Someone can take
Reiteration of the finite capacity to endure hardship.
We spend our waking hours chasing a dream
Spending time pursuing dreams but facing disillusionment upon attainment.
But when we get it it's not what it seems
Expressing disappointment when aspirations are not as fulfilling as anticipated.
Give us a smile
Request for a positive gesture or expression.
Energy vampires
Reference to individuals who drain others of confidence and positivity.
Waiting to steal your self-esteem
Metaphorical vampires waiting to exploit self-esteem.
Eternity is waiting
Highlighting the waiting period for eternity, possibly referring to the afterlife.
For the hell we're creating
Connecting eternity with the negative consequences of human actions.
I wanna live forever don't care what it costs
Expressing a strong desire for immortality regardless of the consequences.
No ego death on my side
Rejecting the concept of ego death, emphasizing individuality.
Gone in the blink of an eye
Life's brevity, disappearing quickly.
Heaven has no room for me
Suggesting a lack of acceptance in heavenly realms.
In the cards we're going down
