Lyrics
When I die
Expressing the desire to be buried under palm trees upon death.
Bury me underneath the palm trees
Reiteration of the wish to be buried beneath palm trees.
Shot an arrow in the dark
Mentioning a metaphorical arrow shot in the dark, possibly symbolizing an unexpected event or challenge.
Went straight through my chest
Describing the arrow piercing through the chest, suggesting emotional impact.
But damn, it missed my heart
Despite the impact, the arrow misses the heart, implying emotional resilience.
Those unfamiliar faces on the boulevard
Observing unfamiliar faces on the boulevard, reflecting a sense of detachment or alienation.
Just speak it loud again
Encouraging open expression despite unfamiliarity.
I didn't realize that sunlight
Realization that sunlight cannot remedy a low tide, metaphorically representing difficult times.
Ain't no remedy for this low tide
Acknowledging the need to maintain composure externally during challenging moments.
Gotta keep it cool on the outside
Emphasizing the importance of appearing composed externally.
Won't let you see my dark side, my dark side
Commitment to concealing personal struggles or vulnerabilities.
When I die
Reiteration of the desire to be buried under palm trees after death.
Bury me underneath the palm trees
Repeating the theme of being buried beneath palm trees.
Underneath the palm trees
Highlighting the significance of palm trees in the context of death.
Please don't cry
Asking not to cry, suggesting a belief in an afterlife or better circumstances.
Soon you'll see life is just a bad dream
Assuring that life is transient and likening it to a bad dream.
Life is just a bad dream
Reiterating the transient and challenging nature of life.
Deep inside, they'll never know
Expressing inner pain and loneliness hidden from others.
How bad it hurts to feel alone, oh
Elaborating on the deep emotional pain of feeling alone.
Bury me underneath the palm trees
Repeating the desire to be buried under palm trees.
Underneath the palm trees
Suggesting a lack of tangible achievements or recognition.
Nothing left to show and tell
Expressing a sense of anticipation for a place in the afterlife.
Hope they save me a seat when I end up in hell
Hoping for inclusion in a place often associated with suffering.
Please inject me with these feelings that I never felt
Desiring to experience intense emotions not felt before.
I'd do it all over again
Willingness to repeat life experiences, even if painful.
I didn't realize that sunlight
Reiteration that sunlight cannot remedy a low tide, reinforcing the theme of challenges.
Ain't no remedy for this low tide
Emphasizing the need for external composure during difficult times.
Gotta keep it cool on the outside
Reaffirming the commitment to hiding personal struggles.
Won't let you see my dark side, my dark side
Commitment to maintaining an external facade, concealing inner struggles.
When I die
Repeating the desire for burial under palm trees upon death.
Bury me underneath the palm trees
Reiterating the wish to be buried beneath palm trees.
Underneath the palm trees
Highlighting the significance of palm trees in the context of death.
Please don't cry

Soon you'll see life is just a bad dream

Life is just a bad dream
