Don't Swim Stoned
Embracing Fate: Hallelujah, We're All Gonna Die Sometime
Lyrics
I don't need a friend I need a place to be,
I am seeking a place to exist, not necessarily a friend.
I don't need your love I need your sympathy
I don't desire your love; I seek your sympathy.
I ain't got the time for destiny,
I don't have time for fate or destiny.
Hopes another thing that just eats at me,
The anticipation or expectation of hope troubles me.
Hallelujah, we're all gonna die sometime.
An acknowledgment that everyone will eventually face death.
Remember all the things you were told,
Reflecting on advice or information received in the past.
Don't swim, don't swim stoned,
A caution against swimming while under the influence of substances.
Don't walk around at night,
A warning not to walk alone at night.
On your own, too far from home.
Being cautious about venturing too far from one's home.
I don't need me, I just need you.
Expressing a dependence on someone else rather than oneself.
I don't need old, I need brand new.
A preference for new experiences over the old.
I don't need a lie, I need some truth
Choosing truth over lies for emotional stability.
To keep my head above, getting through to you.
Seeking honesty to maintain a connection with someone.
Hallelujah, we're all gonna die sometime.
Reiterating the inevitability of death with a sense of acceptance.
Remember all the things you were told,
Recalling previous advice against swimming under the influence.
Don't swim, don't swim stoned,
A repetition of the warning against swimming while impaired.
Don't walk around at night,
Caution against walking alone at night, emphasizing safety.
On your own, too far from home.
Warning about the risks of being too far from the safety of home.
Need a little laughter, to get me by,
Expressing a need for humor to cope with challenges.
I need a little joy, in these grey skies,
Desiring joy in the midst of dull or difficult times.
I need you standing next to me,
Expressing a need for someone's presence to pass the time.
To pass the time,
Desiring companionship to alleviate boredom or loneliness.
I need a little fun, to dry these eyes.
Seeking enjoyment to overcome sadness or tears.
Hallelujah, we're all gonna die sometime.
Reiterating the acknowledgment of the inevitability of death.
Remember all the things you were told,
Recalling past advice on avoiding impaired activities.
Don't swim, don't swim stoned,
Emphasizing the caution against swimming while under the influence.
Don't walk around at night,
Repeating the warning against walking alone at night.
On your own, too far from home.
Reiterating the caution of staying close to the safety of home.
