The Chronicles of Life and Death
Chronicles of Existence: Life's Journey Unveiled
Lyrics
You come in cold, you're covered in blood
You are born, entering the world in a cold and bloody state.
They're all so happy you've arrived
People around you, presumably family or society, express joy at your arrival.
The doctor cuts your cord, hands you to your mom
The doctor cuts the umbilical cord, and you are handed to your mother.
She sets you free into this life
Your mother releases you into the complexities of life.
And where do you go
You face the question of where to go in life.
With no destination, no map to guide you
You lack a clear direction or guidance in life, represented by having no destination or map.
Wouldn't you know that it doesn't matter; we all end up the same
Regardless of individual paths, everyone ultimately faces the same fate.
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between
The lyrics introduce the theme of the chronicles of life and death, exploring everything in between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem
Life stories are presented, acknowledging their potentially fictional or unreal nature.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same
The cyclical nature of life is highlighted: birth and death are universal experiences.
Today could be the best day of your life
An optimistic note is struck, suggesting that today could be the best day of one's life.
And money talks, in this world that's what idiots will say
The impact of money is discussed, with a criticism of those who prioritize it.
But you'll find out, that this world is just an idiots parade
This world is metaphorically described as an "idiot's parade," emphasizing its foolish and misguided nature.
Before you go, you've got some questions, and you want answers
Asking fundamental questions about life is a common theme, particularly when one is young.
But now you're old, cold covered in blood
As you age, you return to a vulnerable state, symbolized by being old and covered in blood.
Right back to where you started from
Life's journey may bring you back to where you started.
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between
Reiteration of the theme of the chronicles of life and death, encompassing everything in between.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem
Life stories are portrayed as possibly fictional but significant nonetheless.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same
Emphasis on the cyclical nature of life, echoing line 12.
Today could be the worst day of your life
An acknowledgment that today could also be the worst day of your life.
These are the chronicles of life and death and everything between
Reiteration of the central theme of the chronicles of life and death.
These are the stories of our lives, as fictional as they may seem
Life stories are reiterated as potentially fictional but impactful.
You come in this world, and you go out just the same
Reiteration of the cyclical nature of life, echoing lines 12 and 23.
Today could be the best day of,
Optimism is reintroduced, suggesting today could be the best day of your life.
Today could be the worst day of,
The possibility that today could be the worst day of your life is reiterated.
Today could be the last day of your life.
The stark realization that today could be the last day of your life is presented.
It's your life
An affirmation that the course of life is ultimately in one's own hands.
Your life
A final assertion emphasizing personal agency and ownership over one's life.
