Lyrics

I don’t want to live forever

I have no desire to exist indefinitely

I think I had enough the first time

I feel that one lifetime is sufficient for me

Around i can’t say that I don’t

Ambiguous statement about experiences

Wonder what forever would be like

Contemplating the nature of eternity

But I don’t want to live

I don't want to endure

Forever if forever’s like life

Refusing eternal life if it resembles the challenges of mortal life


I’m walking in a dead society

Feeling like society is lifeless or devoid of vitality

The whole world’s swinging on a

World in disarray, hanging by a fragile thread

Broken thread and I

Awareness of societal instability

Can see it in the eyes of every man

Observing a sense of despair in people's eyes

That walks by me this ain’t

Expressing dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs

The way they planned it, they’re

Unexpected outcomes, striving to comprehend

Trying so hard to understand it

People making an effort to understand the situation

Broken dreams and broken bones

Symbolic of shattered aspirations and physical injuries

A world of kings without a throne i see

A world where leaders lack authority

A homeless man sleeping outside of a

Highlighting homelessness juxtaposed with abandoned homes

Foreclosed home just trying to

An individual sleeping outside a seized residence

Understand it cuz

Struggling to comprehend the unexpected reality

This ain’t the way we planned it

Reflecting on the deviation from planned life


I don’t want to live forever

Reiteration of the desire not to live indefinitely

I think I had enough the first time

Reiterating satisfaction with one lifetime

Around i can’t say that I don’t

Repeating the ambiguous statement about experiences

Wonder what forever would be like

Revisiting contemplation on the nature of eternity

But I don’t want to live

Reiterating the unwillingness to endure indefinitely

Forever if forever’s like life

Reaffirming rejection of eternal life if it mirrors mortal challenges


I’m walking with this debt inside of me

Carrying the burden of debt in one's life

My whole world’s swinging on a broken

World in chaos, hanging by a broken thread

Thread and I can see

Recognizing personal struggles in the mirror

It in the mirror every time

Self-reflection on the unplanned aspects of life

That I look inside

Contemplating the internal self and its challenges

Me this ain’t the way I planned it

Expressing dissatisfaction with one's life plan

I’m trying so hard to understand it

Struggling to comprehend personal circumstances

Broken dreams and broken homes

Symbolizing shattered dreams and unstable homes

A daddy leaves his kids alone i

Illustrating the impact of a father leaving his children

Put them on the back burner

Prioritizing personal desires over familial responsibilities

For something I could

Choosing something unattainable over family

Never own but why can’t I understand that

Questioning the inability to understand the consequences

This ain’t the way God planned it

Reflecting on the divergence from God's plan


I don’t want to live forever

Reiteration of the desire not to live indefinitely

I think I had enough the first time

Reiterating satisfaction with one lifetime

Around i can’t say that I don’t

Repeating the ambiguous statement about experiences

Wonder what forever would be like

Revisiting contemplation on the nature of eternity

But I don’t want to live

Reiterating the unwillingness to endure indefinitely

Forever if forever’s like life

Reaffirming rejection of eternal life if it mirrors mortal challenges
