EVERYTHING DIES
Eternal Questions: Reflections on Life's Fragility in 'Everything Dies'
Lyrics
I'm overwhelmed
Feeling overwhelmed
But in control
Experiencing control despite being overwhelmed
Mourning in the past
Reflecting on past sorrows
A transcendent soul
Having a soul that transcends mundane experiences
We dig our graves
Engaging in self-destructive behavior
We fill our holes
Filling emotional voids
Telling us where we go
External influences guiding life's direction
But who really knows
Questioning the certainty of life's path
So why does anything matter
Questioning the significance of anything
Cause all our bones will shatter
Highlighting the fragility of existence
They'll put our flesh in the ground
Contemplating mortality and burial
Everything dies, everything dies
Expressing the inevitability of death
Why so serious
Asking why take life too seriously
Life's a game
Viewing life as a game
Roll the dice
Embracing uncertainty and chance
Then take your aim
Encouraging action and decision-making
So why does anything matter
Reiterating the questioning of life's significance
Cause all our bones will shatter
Reemphasizing the fragility of bones
They'll put our flesh in the ground
Restating the inevitability of death and burial
Everything dies, everything dies
Reiteration of the concept that everything eventually dies
Didn't even get to say goodbye
Expressing regret for not having a chance to say goodbye
I'll see you in another life
Believing in a reunion in another life
God knows how hard I try
Expressing difficulty in trying to change outcomes
But everything dies
Reiterating the inevitability of death
So why does anything matter
Reiterating the questioning of life's significance
Cause all our bones will shatter
Reemphasizing the fragility of bones
They'll put our flesh in the ground
Restating the inevitability of death and burial
Everything dies, everything dies
Final reiteration of the concept that everything eventually dies
