Please Don't Let My Art Die
Eternal Legacy: Embracing the Artistic Soul Beyond Life
Lyrics
I'd say I don't want a funeral but nobody'd listen
I express a desire to avoid a funeral, but I feel unheard by others.
Funerals are like birthday parties and they ain't always 'bout the victim
Funerals are comparable to birthday parties, not always centered on the deceased.
What matters is how it feels when all the attendees leave
The significance lies in the emotions after attendees depart.
Like when I was at a funeral and I heard my songs sung back to me
Recalling a moment at a funeral when my songs were sung, emphasizing legacy.
Death ain't no joke and death is eternal
Death is serious and eternal, with diverse interpretations.
Some think it's a bunch of clouds, church says its a fiery inferno
Differing views on the afterlife: clouds vs. a fiery inferno.
It could be blackness so maybe we'll finally rest
Pondering the possibility of eternal blackness and rest after death.
We might be unconscious thinking about how wrong everything went
In unconsciousness, contemplating the mistakes made in life.
But I'd think...
Expressing a thought...
Please don't let my art die
Plea to preserve my art after death.
It's about the only thing I did right with my life
Art is considered a significant achievement in my life.
I tried so hard to be obscure to make the right people smile
Striving for obscurity to bring joy to the right people.
Please don't let my art die
Reiteration of the plea to safeguard my art's legacy.
I've seen some great stuff and I've seen some bad
Reflecting on varied experiences, both positive and negative.
But when I die some will pretend they always had my back
Anticipating insincere support after death.
I was pretty hard to pin down, but they'll still exaggerate
Difficulty in defining oneself, expecting exaggerated accounts.
While I'm floating in the ether thinking about the art I didn't make
Musing on missed artistic opportunities in the afterlife.
Just think about my homebase, how they'd treat me like a joke
Contemplating the perception of being a joke in one's homebase.
Yet sometimes I'd win awards when the people could vote
Award recognition despite inconsistent support.
I don't deserve special treatment but I really tried my best
Acknowledging no special treatment but striving to do one's best.
And I hope you don't forget that moving on to what comes next
Encouraging not to forget the effort made while moving on.
Please don't let my art die
Repetition of the plea to preserve artistic legacy.
It's about the only thing I did right with my life
Reaffirming the importance of art in one's life.
I tried so hard to be obscure to make the right people smile
Striving for obscurity to bring joy to the right people, reiterated.
Please don't let my art die
Repetition of the plea to safeguard artistic legacy.
Please don't let my art die
Continuation of the plea to preserve artistic legacy.
It's about the only thing I did right with my life
Reiteration of art as a significant life achievement.
I tried so hard to be obscure to make the right people smile
Striving for obscurity to bring joy to the right people, reiterated.
Please don't let my art die
Repetition of the plea to safeguard artistic legacy.
Please don't let my art die
Final plea to ensure the preservation of artistic legacy.
