Putting the Fun in Funeral
Embracing Mortality: Beachmaster's Poignant Reflections on Fear and Truth
Lyrics
I'm not afraid of the dead
I have no fear of those who have died.
I'm afraid of the dying
My fear lies in the process of dying itself.
I'm afraid of myself and the choices I'll make
I fear my own actions and the decisions I might make.
Incalculable greed, unspeakable brutality
Expressing concern about overwhelming greed and extreme brutality.
I'm afraid of the dying
Reiteration of fear related to the act of dying.
I'm not afraid of the world
I am not afraid of the entire world, just specific individuals within it.
Just the people who live there
Fear is directed towards people, not the world itself.
Believe every word of the masters you serve
Encouraging blind belief in authoritative figures.
You point the finger but you're never looking inward
Criticism of hypocrisy—accusing others without self-reflection.
Be afraid of yourself and your own sense of worth
Advising to fear one's own actions and self-worth.
Somewhere out there someone knows your secrets
Hinting that someone is aware of your hidden truths.
Where you buried them they've become your keeper
Suggesting that buried secrets can control and define you.
I'm not afraid of the truth
No fear of the truth itself.
I'm afraid of the fiction
Fear lies in fabricated or distorted information.
I'm not afraid of God
No fear of God as a concept.
I'm afraid of religion
Fear directed towards organized religious structures.
It's not a fear of the dark
Not afraid of darkness but of deceit.
More a fear of the lying
Fear is associated more with falsehood than darkness.
I'm not afraid of the dead
No fear of the deceased themselves.
I'm afraid of the dying
Fear is linked to the process of dying.
Somewhere out there someone knows your secrets
Reiteration of the idea that someone is aware of your hidden truths.
Where you buried them they've become your keeper
Emphasizing that buried secrets can become a controlling force.
I'm not afraid of the dead
No fear of those who have died.
I'm afraid of the dying
Fear is directed towards the process of dying.
I'm not afraid of the dead
Reiteration of having no fear of the deceased.
I'm afraid of the dying
Emphasizing fear associated with the act of dying.
I'm not afraid of the dead
No fear of those who have died.
I'm afraid of the dying
Repetition of the fear related to the process of dying.
