Lyrics
What if I died today
Contemplating the possibility of death today
Just gone, without warning
Leaving suddenly and unexpectedly
That's okay
Acceptance of the idea of sudden death
I don't care how I'm taken
Indifference to the manner of death
I just want something to leave behind
Desire for a lasting impact or legacy
Does the way we go determine the way we lived our lives
Reflecting on whether the way one dies reflects their life
Choose love, not fear
Encouragement to choose love over fear in life
Your path will clear in time
Belief that one's path will become clear with time
You know what you want
Affirmation of understanding personal desires
Is my end near
Questioning the proximity of one's own death
I've run, I've crawled, I've climbed
Expressing various ways of navigating life's challenges
We live
A declaration of living
What if I died today
Reiteration of contemplating death today
Just gone, without warning
Reiteration of leaving suddenly and unexpectedly
Here for now but I'll sure be gone some day
Acknowledgment of the transient nature of life
My heroes say to burn out, never fade away
Reference to the advice of burning out rather than fading away
I'm fading away
Recognition of personal fading away
Without warning
Reiteration of leaving suddenly and unexpectedly
Well, this room is getting darker
Observation of a darkening room as a metaphor for life
As years start to feel like days
Perception of time passing quickly
And wind is blowing stronger
Noticing the intensifying challenges as symbolized by the wind
As the clouds roll in a sky of grey
Describing a gloomy and uncertain future
Do you feel you're getting older-
Rhetorical question about aging and its significance
What's the point when we all die some day
Philosophical reflection on the inevitability of death
The sun cuts through- I'm older and suddenly okay
Feeling a sense of clarity and acceptance as one ages
You'd pick up, move on with your life some day
Expectation of moving on with life despite challenges
My heroes say to burn out
Recalling the advice to burn out and not fade away
Never fade away
Reiteration of the idea of not fading away
I'm fading away
Acknowledgment of personal fading away
